zdrebac ::

On Feb. 14, 1991, Captains Richard T. Bennett (pilot) and Daniel B. Bakke (weapon systems operator) flying “487” became the first and only F-15E crew to achieve an air-to-air victory.

Opis događaja:
Citat:.....Captain Bennett brought "487" up to full military power--top speed without the use of afterburners. After breaking through the weather, the crew had to deal with Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery batteries. The crew picked up the three Mi-24 Hind helicopters on their target pod and observed that the Hinds were offloading troops at different points in an attempt to surround the Special Forces team.
The Strike Eagle crew decided to take out the lead helicopter with a GBU-10 while the helicopter was on the ground. If the Hind should take back off, the bomb would at least affect the troops in the immediate area. The crew pickled off the GBU-10 just as the helicopter picked up into a hover. The weapon systems officer kept lasing the target even though their radar showed the helicopter at 100 knots and gaining altitude.
Captain Bennett felt they had missed the target and began to ready an AIM-9 Sidewinder for a second shot. The crew then observed a flash of light; the explosion nearly vaporized the Iraqi helicopter gunship.
The Special Forces team estimated that the helicopter was at least 245 meters off the ground when it disintegrated in mid air. The other Mi-24 gunships bugged out, giving the Special Forces team a chance to move back to a secure location to be extracted.

Ja sam pogrešno onda pročitao taj događaj, da je "žrtva" bio Mi-8 😳

Za događaj na koji ja mislim da ciljaš, u pitanju je bio F-14 koji je oborio Mi-8.

Aeromiting Air Tattoo 1977 i češanje repa (hi-res) :


Citat:75-088 USAF TF-15A Eagle does a tail scrape down the runway at Greenham Common Air Tattoo 1977
Military interlude
I'm old enough to remember when F-15s were brand new! I was astonished when this Bitburg F-15 landed after its display, and promptly tail scraped down the runway with sparks showering behind! Not sure if this manoeuvre was intended )
This photo is one of my earliest slides, as I only fully switched from the old Instamatic in 1978! One of a small number of slides taken by me in 1977-78, before I purchased my first SLR camera - a Zenith E. From an original slide, scanned and unrestored.

Citat:The 104th Fighter Wing CDDAR team worked with members of the New England Air Museum to help transport the donated F-15C aircraft 85-101 from Bradley Air National Guard Base to the NEAM, August 1, 2024, East Granby, Connecticut.
MSgt Adam Dempsey, 104th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron repair and reclamation supervisor, expressed his excitement over the successful completion of the exercise.
“When we were notified of the task to tow the aircraft to the museum, we were excited to take part in preserving a piece of Barnes’ history,” said Dempsey. “Utilizing our local CDDAR team and members of the CT ANG, we persevered through the challenges and successfully completed the mission at hand, and we look forward to seeing the aircraft on display at the NEAM for years to come.”
Col. Michael ‘Shot’ Glass, 104th Fighter Wing Operations Group Commander, flew the F-15 to Bradley Air National Guard Base before the aircraft was donated and transported to the museum for display.
