I am just green with envy watching this video

as a child my dream was to be a pilot in the RAF

i have loved all types of fast military jets

this video is shot at a training area in Wales in the UK

it is used for low flying exercises to train for low flying to avoid radar detection

used by both USAF and RAF pilots

 

wow is this skill or what?

amazing to watch

The F-15 Eagle was created as a response to counter the MiG-25 Foxbat - little was known about this new MiG at the time until the defection of Lt. Viktor Belenko on Sept. 6, 1976. 

MiG-25 was a piece of crap, all it did was go fast. Was out-performed in nearly every way.

Yes, but that was after the U.S. found out how it really was. They thought Mach 3.2 was the MiG's operational speed when they clocked it going over the middleast. They didnt realize it was just a freak occurence and the engines were burnt out and unrepairable afterwards.
