it's the aircraft that changed the face of air-to-air combat you could tell this was absolutely a dominant fighter it turned the tide of aerial warfare back in america's favor and raise the standard to staggering heights its kill ratio is 104-0 this is unprecedented in aerial warfare this is the inside story of an aviation giant how did the air force f-15 overcome its skeptics and survive tragedy did it come to dominate the skies of earth and blaze its way into the heavens beyond there were those who thought it could never be done [Music] january 1999 [Music] yugoslavia's president slobodan milosevic's ethnic cleansing campaign tears his country apart serbian militias massacre bosnians and ethnic albanians terrified refugees pile up along the borders it's winter there's nowhere to go thousands of people have been forced from villages from their homes at gunpoint nato hatches a bold new plan operation allied forces aims to defeat the serbs from the air nato was very afraid to get into a quagmire of a european ground war lieutenant colonel michael schauer was the weapons officer of an f-15 squadron used in operation allied force it was really the first time in history that we've tried to do this strictly by air power to attack a country and not have any ground forces involved an air war is imminent but there's a problem serbia's air defense system is formidable thanks to the country's close ties to russia the russians sold military hardware to the serbians a lot of their training was from russian forces so they're very tied heavily with the russian military in general nato's air war could stir up cold war tensions but there's little choice the risk of not taking action is far greater than the risks of what we're doing march 1999 night one of the war 16 coalition planes head towards serbian airspace ready to rumble to lead this charge the air force leans on its go-to fighter jet the f-15 sleek swift and very deadly it's the air force's weapon of choice when there's any real chance of air-to-air combat the f-15 was designed for the primary purpose of establishing air dominance two pratt and whitney turbofan engines give the f-15 a top speed of mach 2.5 that's two and a half times the speed of sound this is where all the thrust comes from you can see it's slightly charred that's because there's a lot of heat and a lot of energy coming out of these the f-15 can fly three times as fast as a 747 passenger jet its massive engines generate over 50 000 pounds of thrust process the amount of push behind the aircraft providing us the speed so that we can out climb an opponent back in eastern europe two f-15s escort 10 f-117 stealth fighters and two b-2 bombers into serbian airspace 10 billion dollars of high-end aircraft all under the guard of the f-15 the bombers are specialists in hitting ground targets but can do little air to air if serb fighters detect them the f-15s may be their only hope of survival it only takes one to get through and we didn't see him until he gets behind one of our guys and shoots them down and that's a big deal they could put a stop on the whole airborne sure enough minutes into his flight lieutenant colonel michael schauer spots an unidentified aircraft we knew the only aircraft the serbians had an alert were mig-29s they had about 14 of them we got there and did about one spin in the cap and turned back around and i saw a radar blip pop up i go somebody's flying a few miles down the way he turns around and now i see that raider blip instead of staying about the same place starts getting closer to me and i go 25 miles away now shower is in the hot seat complicated by a unique set of circumstances the air war over kosovo was very different from the war in the desert a few years earlier author dr rebecca grant is one of the foremost civilian experts on air force history and aircraft the coalition aircraft flying for nato were operating in a much smaller airspace over kosovo the migs from the serbian air force were able to mix in much more closely than we would have liked with friendly aircraft in such close quarters there's no margin for error and time is not on your side let's say two fighters are both going about mach one so they're about mock to a closure you're closing a mile about every three seconds so you don't have very long even if you're starting at 25 or 30 miles apart you might have 15 20 seconds to work on this before it's getting really really dangerous shower has just seconds to determine whether he's facing an enemy or a friendly aircraft he turns to the radar housed in the f-15s long nose the radar sends a coated electronic signal requesting information from the unknown aircraft that radar can tell you a lot of detail about an aircraft and not just altitude speed heading etc but maybe what kind of aircraft is it is it a mig-29 a su-27 is it the 747 pilots call the signal reply or die if the challenging aircraft is friendly it responds immediately the plane racing toward michael shower however stays silent immediately ago within just about two seconds i go that's mick 29 i know my blood pressure was definitely starting to go up shower quickly realizes that the mig is not closing in on him but on one of the precious f-117s behind him that he's charged with protecting shower has to aim his missile with pinpoint precision he puts his hand on the trigger and fires it goes into a big fireball so i see the fireball and i watch the aircraft kind of spiral into the ground obviously i say splash one splash one on the radio and watch it impact the ground splash one means not only a hit but a kill and this splash one comes just in the nick of time it came within just a few thousand feet of having the serbian mig close in on the f-117s there's no question this pilot captain michael schauer had saved some of the f-117s with the serbian migs no longer a threat the b-2s and f-117s get to work wiping out dozens of military targets the f-15s were once again in the lead clearing the skies of serbian migs and enabling nato to carry on that air war and stop the humanitarian tragedy going on in kosovo after two months of bombing milosevic gives up led by the f-15s operation allied force proves that a war can be won by air power alone mr milosevic accepted these conditions for one reason you made him do it this isn't the first time the f-15 has gone head-to-head with the mig the f-15s dominance has extra significance it's because of the mig that the f-15 first came into being may 1967 the united states is two years into an ugly war with north vietnam u.s forces aren't just getting killed on the ground taking a pounding in air combat too the vietnam war early on was a huge shock to the american concept of air superiority there's no doubt that air power was not as dominant as it had been in world war ii dick anderegg was the director of the air force history and museums program he commanded an f-15 squadron for two years the air force coming into the vietnam war it had been designed to be a nuclear force to shoot radar missiles at large bomber sized targets in a nuclear war scenario but the war over north vietnam wasn't like that the aircraft there were small fighter-sized targets highly maneuverable at much lower altitudes the disadvantage for the u.s pilots was that they were flying heavier aircraft not designed for air combat north vietnam's premier dogfighter is the small tough mig it's built and sold behind the iron curtain vietnam took place during the height of the cold war and in the cold war the soviet union and its allies in the eastern bloc and around the globe were our staunch north vietnam got its migs from the soviet union the migs were small very agile and their pilots although fewer number were quite well trained the north vietnamese shoot down almost two u.s aircraft a day the cost is more than just the planes [Music] the demographic of the prisoner of war population in north vietnam in hanoi was almost totally airman in the hanoi hilton and other prisoner of war camps in north vietnam the population there were almost exclusively air force navy and marine corps airmen inadequate planes thousands of pilots captured or killed it's a big wake-up call for the u.s air force the air combat experience in vietnam almost immediately indicated that the u.s had the wrong type of airplanes to go up against the soviet migs just when it seems things can't get worse russia unveils its latest threat the soviet union always liked to show off its top military equipment in big public displays it was done with a view towards intimidating the west one plane grabs u.s attention immediately it's called the mig-25 it's a more advanced version of the plane that is beating them in vietnam to western analysts it looked like the mig-25 might be the most dominant fighter ever built analysts estimated that it might be able to fly in excess of mach 2 maybe even mach 3 that means three times the speed of sound it was received as a threat here's another leap into the next generation of fighter aircraft that we don't see that we have anything that can match right now suddenly it looks like the united states isn't just going to lose vietnam it's going to lose the cold war too the u.s air force knew they had to build a true air superiority fighter and get it into production as quickly as possible december 1968 the united states air force gathers at the pentagon their new 15.4 million dollar weapons program demands the impossible a combat fighter that can shoot any soviet plane out of the sky at first the air force wasn't sure what approach to take what was going to be more important the ability to turn and burn and get the advantage over your opponent or pure speed as they look to the future the list of requirements grows we need to be able to see and we need to be able to dog fight we need to be able to pick up the target at long range with a radar that can see not only above the horizon but below the horizon and if we get in close then we need to be able to be very powerful very agile very maneuverable and be able to fight visually as well the air force reviews dozens of potential designs the air force put out requests for proposals for a new fighter that fall they went out to all of american aerospace industry at that point specifically mcdonald douglas general dynamics fairchild republic north american etc finally aviation giant mcdonnell douglas comes up with the goods mcdonald douglas got to work very fast the first f-15 rolled out of the production facility in st louis just 30 months later july 1972 the mcdonnell douglas plant in st louis missouri the air force rolls out a brand new fighter the first it's commissioned in almost 20 years they call it the f-15 eagle i christen the eagle and may you reign supreme in your domain yeah it simply looks like no other aircraft that you've ever seen it's streamlined for speed it has the ability to withstand the gravitational forces its aerodynamic qualities are truly original it looks like no other fighter that came before it one of the key parts of the design the cockpit it was essential to give the pilot a 360 degree view so that he could see any angle of attack by an enemy fighter you look up through that cockpit and you know that you are in a position to dominate the whole sky around you what the pilot can't see with his own eyes he can use the f-15s radar to track the f-15 had something else that made it dominant and that was its a pg-63 radar this revolutionary new radar is so powerful that it can spot enemy fighters way beyond the pilot's visual range with the beyond visual range radar it was possible to take what pilots now call a bvr shot what that meant essentially was that the pilot could detect an incoming enemy fighter line up a shot all before that fighter knew that it was under attack the pentagon is impressed but pilots see a problem the f-15 appears to have one fatal flaw i think the biggest surprise was how big it was uh we had just been fighting small migs in north vietnam and so we knew that small was an advantage especially if you're dog fighting so when the f-15 and its large size came out we went hmm wow this is a big airplane as these large fighters roll off the assembly line the air force must also roll out an elite class of pilots ready for the challenge there was no question that the air force chose to put its best pilots into the f-15 why wouldn't you you have to have your best pilots to get the best capability out of a top air superiority fighter it starts with a year in the undergraduate pilot training program there are no vacations no days off it's tough wannabe pilots study subjects like aeronautics and aerospace physiology weekly tests rank them in order of performance those who can't cut it drop out f15 is a very highly desired assignment so only the top ones get it so by the time you get to the f-15 training you have a handful of people that have been through many many competitions many many selections survived all of those and come out on the top then there's the physical component pilots spend hours getting tossed around in a centrifuge learning not to pass out from the massive acceleration you have to be physically fit and i mean gain fit because flying these airplanes is very very physically demanding when you're sitting in a cockpit and you can pull nine times your body weight for 30 or 40 seconds in a turn you have to be physically fit to withstand those kind of g-forces today it takes pilots almost two and a half years to earn their wings by the time they do they have studied hundreds of possible air combat and emergency scenarios i'd say the hardest part about being a fighter pilot is just the preparation and mentally relying on your training making sure that that's second nature so you can actually do the mission basically being ready for anything the pilot's motto bring it on and three years after the plane debuts the first group of f-15 pilots decides to show the world what their new toy is made of january 1975 grand forks air force base north dakota an f-15 pilot puts on a high-altitude pressure suit and prepares to test an f-15 street eagle his goal to push the limits of what's possible and see how fast and how high the new fighter can go the f-15 takes off 17 seconds later it's flying faster than the speed of sound it tilts upward executing an almost vertical climb in just three minutes the f-15 rockets up to 98 000 feet faster than any plane that's ever been built anyone who flew or saw the f-15 in flight was pretty confident that this was the true air superiority fighter that the air force wanted so badly it's a triumph for the air force especially because the record was previously held by its old enemy the soviet mig but with the vietnam war over the f-15 still has to prove itself in battle it gets its chance in a most unexpected place 1979 the cold war spreads to the middle east the soviets arm countries like syria and egypt with their most advanced weapons its top seller the mig israel looks to the u.s for support it must protect itself against the growing threat we've always had quite a relationship with the israeli air force where we've traded knowledge of airplanes and tactics when they saw the f-15 they wanted the f-15 for obvious reasons by june 27 1979 the israelis operate 25 of the new american jets the new weapon comes just in time a few minutes before noon four syrian mig-21s zoom towards israeli airspace a surprise attack the israelis detect the threat and alert four f-15s they have on routine patrol i remember the the horizon were very very clear and below us there were a little bit of clouds and we got the green light to go and intercept the milks brigadier general mosha melnick was one of the israeli air force's top fighter pilots for over 38 years on that day in 1979 he's in the hot seat of an aircraft never before tried in combat we got a very immediate locks and radar locks um on the on the migs it was uh in a distance of about 30 or 25 miles and we got permission to to fire to determine when and where to fire melnick relies on the f-15s heads-up display the heads-up display or hud is a piece of transparent glass located on top of the pilot's instrument panel airspeed altitude targets they're all displayed right in front of the pilot's eyes all the controls that you needed to do that were on the stick and the throttles so you never have to take your hands off to move anything while you're dog fighting everything is at your fingertips melnick's heads up display shows that the mig is approaching fast this is moshe melnick's actual video melnick launches one of his missiles it misses now the migs are on high alert the migs were turning took a very sharp turn to the north because they have seen the missiles and that's how you protect against the missiles so the the radar lock was broken and it was obvious that these missiles are not going to hit the mix the mig's counter-attack roaring toward melnick at 650 miles per hour melnick has to come up with another strategy quickly or risk getting shot one of the f-15 strengths it has more than one way to take down an enemy fighter we have several weapons available one of which being a long-range mighty amram the amram is a beyond visual range missile meaning that once the pilot locks into a target the amram's radar guides it towards the kill they call this feature fire and forget pilots can launch the missiles from almost any side of the plane these are the fuselage stations so we have two on either side this is called the the eagle claw that when you are in a firing solution you hit the pickle button it will eject the the amram out into the slipstream before fire the motor and it's on its way to deal death for closer targets the f-15 carries heat-seeking missiles like the aim 9-l sidewinder for anyone who gets past the missiles to face it up close the f-15 has yet another weapon this is the the mighty m61a1 gatling gun it provides 6000 rounds per minute in a high rate of fire which is 100 rounds per second and that is a lot of firepower at your fingertip over israel it's clear that f-15 pilot mosha melnick is in a dog fight to the death and his first missiles have missed now you have two choices get a new radar lock or to get go back to the old pilot habit good habits and to use your best trader in the world your eyes melnick sets his sights on the migs now just seconds away this time he turns to a designed specifically for the israeli f-15s it's called the python 3. this missile has a name in hebrew called is abbreviation of god forbid god forbid that you will encounter this missile in the in the air it was in in range and i pressed the trigger and i took the first shot and this missile hit first the first mig less than 30 seconds after melnick first got the alert the israeli f-15s defeat the syrian migs this was the first time the f-15 faced a mig in combat and the world could see that any time the f-15 came up against a mig the f-15 would win moshe melnick becomes the first pilot to show the world the lethal qualities of this new fighter i'm so proud and so happy to be the first that actually am proved its abilities in in the combat [Music] the mig king for so long dominant in vietnam is finally toppled [Music] over the next five years melnick and the other israeli pilots go on to use every single weapon in the f-15s arsenal shooting down over 60 migs [Music] as f-15 pilots we followed the actions of the israeli air force pretty closely i don't think by 1980 there was a fighter pilot in the free world that had any doubt that the f-15 on in one-to-one combat would defeat any other fighter in the world any place anytime the only question was could it fight well enough to overcome its size disadvantage of being a big airplane and the israelis showed that to be absolutely the case it seems like the f-15 is the perfect weapon so perfect that the u.s military decides to give the f-15 its most challenging mission yet to conquer outer space 1985 the pentagon the u.s military has been locked into a cold war with the soviet union for nearly 40 years when the cold war was going on we and the soviets had a little contest going on who could be beat their chest the biggest major general wilbur d pearson commanded the air force flight test center at edwards air force base california the soviets had built their empire that expanded around the borders of russia and they were interested in protecting that so they had forces massed they were very interested in continuing to expand or at least protecting what they had russia versus the u.s spy versus spy each determined to gain control of the ultimate high ground space the soviets would put up satellites frequently take pictures and very very accurately keep up with united states military forces they could very quickly launch satellites in a matter of hours and launch a lot of them the pentagon sees the satellites as a dangerous threat to national security they already have deployed an anti-satellite missile they can knock down and have knocked down satellites that have been set up in their testing we wanted to have a capacity to be able to shoot down satellites and we didn't have the capacity to do it satellite to satellite so we tried it off the f-15 in theory the f-15 made sense it was powerful enough that it could carry a 3 000 pound rocket and it could carry it to the altitudes and at the velocities that would allow the rocket to launch and go up into space it sounds like science fiction but it was a very real plan with very high stakes success might have the soviets rethinking their entire spy satellite program failure could allow the program to continue unchecked this is a very very difficult thing to do you talk about something you have to be perfect i mean that thing's going 17 000 miles an hour that satellite that's in orbit it's going 17 000 miles an hour you can't be off x number of feet left and right or it'll be it'll be by you before you have a chance to do anything the satellite chosen for destruction and out-of-date american research satellite called p-78 one the man chosen to destroy it major general pearson when they asked me when i considered doing it it took me about two milliseconds to answer i want to be a part of it because space was always where i thought the next war was going to be fought september 13 1985 vandenberg air force base california at 12 40 in the afternoon pearson straps into his f-15 there's a 2700 pound 18-foot long missile mounted to the jet's center line okay this is pearson and 084 we're 64 seconds we had worked so hard to understand and make sure that we didn't miss anything it was just it was it really wasn't something you thought about on on the day of you just did it at 12 58 pearson takes off this is actual video from his flight right the satellite is 345 000 feet above the earth it's moving at 23 000 feet per second once his f-15 reaches 30 000 feet pearson has just a 10-second window to fire the missile if his timing is off he'll miss it completely at 0.86 rocketing into the air pearson pulls the f-15 into a steep [Applause] climb at 35 000 feet he fires an infrared honing device on the rocket guides it as it heads into the sky the f-15 has done what no other plane has been able to do conquer the heavens [Music] and then as the rocket went up it created a contrail large plume of smoke and i watched that as far as i could it was pretty it was a moment it was a real moment it was almost anti-climatic because so much work and so much practice and so much training went into it to make it look easy it actually did but it on the on show day it looked easy it was a cool moment really cool shooting down the satellite sends a strong message to the soviets we convinced the soviets they shouldn't use it for military purposes because we'll smack them and and we could and we we at least demonstrated that with this success the f-15 seems up for anything but its biggest challenge is still ahead nearly 20 years after it first rolled out the f-15 has to prove itself to the people who brought it to life no american has ever used an f-15 in combat yet august 1990 a hundred thousand iraqi troops invade neighboring kuwait iraqi prime minister saddam hussein is out for oil and for blood 39 nations vow to liberate kuwait from hussein's clutches gulf war one is imminent the united states leads the way we must resist aggression or it will destroy our freedoms the coalition's plan starts with a full-scale air attack they call it operation desert storm the first job for operation desert storm was to gain control of the air and the leading role in that fell to the f-15 january 17 1991 the start of the first gulf war eight f-15 eagle interceptors lift off a strike force of coalition bombers follows behind my mission goal was basically to take the eagles out in front about 100 miles out in front of the strike package and clear the air of any adversary aircraft marine captain chuck mcgill was an exchange pilot with the air force and a mission commander during operation desert storm we were protecting 40 f-16s the f-16s were carrying 2002 2 000 pound bombs the bombs are meant for al takadam airfield and weapons center 45 miles west of baghdad al takadum was a place where planners feared saddam hussein might have chemical or biological weapons the coalition had to neutralize the effect of the chemicals or of the biological weapons that might be stored there something else is at el takadum 2 the iraqi air force a long war with iran has turned them into seasoned fighters the iraqi air force was a substantial air force the fourth or fifth largest air force in the world and they were very well equipped with aircraft they had the newest mig-29 so we expected to see a real air battle coming about 20 miles west of their target the f-15s get an urgent message from the airborne warning and control center they had intel that there were two mig-29s airborne south of the target i immediately push it up push it up so now we go full after burner and the eagle which is you really start hauling now and we're chasing them down mcgill and his wingman quickly realize they've fallen into a trap we started getting launch indications from surface-to-air missiles at first we blew it off thinking that it was that can't be there's nothing there well there was something there and so we came under heavy anti-aircraft attack with mcgill and his squadron distracted by the missiles the migs close in for a fight they went from 380 to about 650 so now something's up when i see the closure between the two airplanes is 1295 knots so we are smoking at each other there's not a lot of time with the iraqi migs just seconds away mcgill locks onto his target and fires first missile was down low and it came up and popped the mig right in the right wing route when i go to fire the second missile everything got quiet i could tell i was moving but i couldn't feel that i was moving i watched the missile come off then i just watch it kind of float away lasted maybe four or five seconds and then all of a sudden it's like someone hits you with a cymbal all the noise comes back and attacked as it could be and you're moving moving away again then you look down at the migs and they're about 9 000 feet below you in a slat range and they blow up less than 10 minutes after spotting the mig mcgill has obliterated his attacker and america has finally used the f-15 in combat the f-15s basically remove the threat of all the iraqi migs minutes later the rest of the coalition's strike force roars in behind they make quick work of al takadam and other military targets they had no hope we shot down 34 of the airplanes in the first two or three nights after that the air fight was over operation desert storm is the most effective air campaign the world has ever seen the iraqi early warning system has completely failed and their aircraft have been caught totally by surprise general schwarzkopf the commander had staked a lot on being able to clear the skies of the iraqi migs that let the u.s and coalition armies move unmolested on the ground with their air support destroyed entire battalions of iraqi soldiers surrender to allied forces you know the objective here is not to have a fair fight the objective is to have overwhelming decisive victory immediately after the gulf war the f-15 seems poised to dominate the skies forever but it's about to learn that sometimes the higher you go the harder you fall november 2nd 2007 an f-15 is on a routine training mission when the unthinkable happens just minutes after takeoff the plane starts to break apart he was in about a six g turn and the way it came apart was literally the cockpit broke off the fuselage and the pilot ejected he was injured but he ejected the f-15 crashes into the missouri countryside it's the sixth time the plane has crashed in just five years the accident board reconstructs the crash and discovers something alarming the accident board found that two of the main support pieces that run along the cockpit and the fuselage had failed and when they failed the whole thing broke up broke apart there's no plane on earth that can bring the f-15 down but there's one thing that even the f-15 can't beat age at that point the airplane operationally was like 30 years old and airplanes do age and they do have structural problems if they've been over stressed you know too many g's pulled and that sort of thing it isn't easy to keep a 30 year old plane running it takes 160 men and women to coax each aging fighter into the sky imagine a whole fleet of 15 1980s lamborghinis and taking those lamborghinis at 150 miles an hour around the track every day doing that would be an immense feat in the civilian world and that's exactly pretty much what we do here we do lots of thorough inspections every time they come down from flight i take about anywhere from two to three hours so any kind of from anything small from a dent in a panel cracking the panel to a major component malfunction up in the air our minimum turn time is two and a half hours those are actually orders that are signed by the secretary of the air force that come down to the troops and say here is exactly how you're supposed to do maintenance after the accident in 2007 the air force immediately tightens inspection requirements the new inspection guidelines come too late to save the f-15 in missouri but they may have saved many other lives there are 670 f-15s in service after inspection the air force grounds almost 300 of them indefinitely aerodynamicists rate fighters for a certain number of hours and after that all the upgrades in the world don't give you the structural stability and confidence that you have when the aircraft has only a few thousand hours on it the f-15 may be the toughest fighter on earth but ironically its high standards have paved the way for its own demise april 1997 marietta georgia at the lockheed martin assembly plant the air force unveils its latest weapon the f-22 raptor so the decision to start research on the f-22 was really to continue the f-15 tradition of having a dominant air superiority fighter that was far better than anything the soviet union or anyone else could feel just as the f-15 had improved cockpit avionics the f-22 took this even a step further with integrated displays in the cockpit the f-22 also had more internal fuel carriage and internal weapons carriage the f-22 brings to the table a new airframe even more maneuverable more agile than the f-15 but it's also has low observable stealth technology that makes it difficult for other radars to see it the f-22s technology is impressive but it comes at a cost a whopping 412 million dollars for each f-22 over 10 times as much as an f-15 [Music] the united states is slowly phasing the f-15 out of service but orders from other countries have the production line running until 2019. there are still over 1200 f-15s in service all over the world including the us saudi arabia israel japan and korea the f-15 remains a cornerstone of every air force that's ever bought it it's still a huge part of air superiority it's the most dominant fighter the world has ever known and it leaves a powerful legacy the legacy of the f-15 is the knowledge that we must never compromise on air superiority to date the f-15 has achieved 104 aerial victories or kills against other airplanes and it has never lost so its kill ratio is 140. this is unprecedented in aerial warfare the f-15 is like no other fighter that came before it more versatile and more deadly it blazed the way for the united states air force to become the most lethal air fighting force on the face of the earth and it gave its allies a shot at power too until another plane proves faster stronger or more deadly the f-15 remains the king of the skies [Music] you
