F-15C Pilots Scrambling, Take-off, Vertical Climb.

US F-15C pilots "scrambling" for action at the Baltic Regional Training Event held at the Šiauliai Airborne, Lithuania. Shots include pilots responding to alarm, donning flight equipment, taxiing and take-off. Teaser: When the alarm sounds, two US F-15Cs scramble for action to intercept an aircraft that has lost communications. This exercise tests NATO and partner nations' interoperability in the air.

Footage includes - Alarm goes off, US pilots based in Šiauliai, Lithuania don flight equipment and move to aircraft; The van delivers the two pilots to their fighter jets; Pilot in the cockpit gets ready to scramble; leaves the hangar; F-15C on the runway ready to take off; A US F-15C in the air.

I used to fly in Alaska back in the 1990s, and we'd operate out of a remote station from time to time. There was this one place (Galena?) where they based a couple F-15s, and they'd scramble every once in awhile. Once we were approaching the airport and the controller told us to stay clear of the area--and two F-15s departed and went vertical at the end of the runway.

Pretty cool to be at pattern altitude and see two F-15 jets go screaming upwards, only a couple miles away...afterburners blazing.

Green star by the cockpit--bird's a MiG killer.

Man I wish I had a garage like that, really big, clean and white with over size doors on both loaded F-16 gassed up and ready to go....I wish I had that garage.

Anyone else get a kick out of the Star Trek TNG Klaxon?

Good job, boys - 10 points for style lol

Eagle: Hey we gonna kill something today or what?
Pilot: i wish... probably just another student pilot...

These actions still make my heart ache. During the Vietnam War, when 103s. 105s and b-52s took off, it meant somebody's dad wasn't coming home. Thank you to our troops is more than a slogan. Thank you, wives and families, too.

during Cold War era, pilots on alert were suited up, didn't take the time to get gear on like you see here, and didn't have stairway, had a pole to slide down like firemen do.

That sound at the beginning...

I watched this video with MadMax Brothers in Arms in the background and the excitement was 3x AWESOME.

[amycuaresma]

who doesn't love an unrestricted vertical climb ??

[sharkbastard]

Gorgeous. I hope I can be one of these guys one day.

[ArtietheArchon]

if I were to only have four missiles on the jet, I think I'd want them on the fuselage instead of the pylons...if it really came down to it, with the pylons jettisoned the F-15 is an absolute rocket

[ChrisZoomER]

Vertical climbs like that are how fighters exceed 50, 000 feet!😀

[leonsoto]

God bless our troops! Thanks for putting your life on the line!

[sluggger]

That siren sounds exactly like red alert in Star Trek!

[not-alot-of-options]
