USAF McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle Afterburner Takeoff And Unrestricted Climb At PDX

Finally, after over a year of living here I get to document a check flight on video, what a spectacular thing to see.

Now that's a steep climb for that F-15C Eagle Jet

You chose a great angle there, that's awesome!

I can’t quite make out the tail number, but it looks like 80-0002. If so, I worked on that plane many years ago at Eglin AFB at the 60th Fighter Squadron. 😁😁😁

Gen 5 and Gen 6 planes will come and they will go, and their stealth and electronics will be superior, but nothing will ever do THAT like an F-15.

How many G’s do you think the pilot feels on that climb?!
