Tristarcaptain 282 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 For all who love the F-15 Eagle, here is a video promo of the Saudi version. The vid is pretty good, but I love that music! Enjoy!!https://theaviationist.com/2017/02/01/up-close-and-personal-with-the-first-saudi-f-15sa-the-most-advanced-eagle-ever-built/ Martin Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for the link Martin, it's a sharp looking aircraft, has a great record through the years and should be renamed the Teflon Eagle. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Great Video, one reason why Trump didn't ban Saudi citizens from entering the USA. They are a valuable customer for the arms trade! LOL. Link to post Share on other sites

Something wrong there... It's OK. We have the F-22, the F-35 and a boatload of our own F-15s, F-16s and FA-18s. I think we'll be OK if Saudi Arabia decides to attack us. I'd rather see the money put into more modern aircraft than updated versions of the long-in-the-tooth F-15s. It's a shame the F-22 line was shut down after only about 190 of them were built, but we have all of them - none were sold to any other country. John 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tristarcaptain 282 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I can't say that I can put my trust in the F-35, but there is some video footage of Su-27 Flanker(s) at Groom Lake! Maybe we could use those!! I am kind of hoping that Donald Trump will reopen the F-22 production line, as he is keen for the military to get better stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I daresay the UK could sell some Tranche 2 Typhoons to Trump if he asked Mrs May nicely! Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Very nice video! It was good to see the BAe Systems Hawks in formation albeit briefly. And yes the music was great, It is so nice to see a military aircraft video that hasn't got a heavy metal soundtrack. Link to post Share on other sites
