Nice bird, but even though it it's built 20 years later than the Eagle, the F-15 will still keep up with it in combat roles. I notice during the second segment of the video that when their ace test pilot did the four point roll, he lost a couple of hundred feet in altitude. Still holds true that there is no substitute for a well trained American pilot. Well... Maybe a well trained Israeli pilot.

The "Cobra" maneuver where it pulls up and stops, looks cool, but has NO combat use. The plane has to be close to stall speed in order to produce the angle of attack needed to achieve the maneuver. In a real life situation, if you were getting shot at, or might get shot at and let yourself get that slow... You are dead meat.

Great video though...

Bleh... the new Joint Strike Fighter (called the X-35 right now) is the way to go. Want a stealth fighter that's superior to anything else? The X-35/A is for you... oh, you want a sea-going carrier variant? Try the spiffy X-35/B. And those **** marines, that always want Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing, they can have the X-35/C. Same plane, slightly different configurations, very stealthy, armed to the teeth, and the avionics can link in to pretty much any system we have.

Thanks for the info. I'm in the market and I don't want to spend my money on a piece of crap.

Aviation Leak says the F-22 will fly circles around the JSF...

Just pulling your chain. I hear their both great planes. I would love to get my hands on one for an afternoon.

Raptors are pretty bad ass too... just too bad Boeing makes them :-(

Well, any of them are better than the Cessnas and Beechcraft I fly...
