Sawamura Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Drawing a blank. What is this plane? Mitsubishi F-1.
Frostiken Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Man I love the Japanese paint schemes on the F-15s. They look totally useless as far as actual camouflage but look really sick on the Eagle. Meanwhile the USAF just wants everything two shades of gray :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cali Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Meanwhile the USAF just wants everything two shades of gray :( And there is a good reason for that also, but I'm sure you know. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED

Meanwhile the USAF just wants everything two shades of gray :( Well Japanese F-15s are also gray, just the aggressor squadron has those awesome paint schemes. US Aggressor planes are also painted differently than the the other planes in the AF/Navy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sawamura Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I think the JASDF F-15 have paint shemes, they actually dont/never will need. Its just for the show and for the spotters. :D
mikoyan Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) That boring gray is to make the airplane harder to see. Incredible that a machine as old as the Eagle still looks super cool! an even better; still one of the best; if not look at the raptor; grounded; reinstating the eagle as the supreme ruler in the US air force!

Sawamura Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Some photos of the previous airshow from the JASDF Blue Impulse on Higashimatsushima. Soon, they will return to their homebase, officials said.
topol-m Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 thanks Sawamura, it's always nice to see these beauties in formation :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 nice clip if you turn down the volume :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sawamura Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 True. There are some more vids on the web with some strange music. But some are realy good. Here is the maybe most known one. Here another one.

Pilotasso Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 If my memory doesnt fail me looks like a towed target pod. The red canister is usually used for gunnery practice. .

power5 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 So no conformals on the Japanese F15s? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109
topol-m Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 So no conformals on the Japanese F15s? What do you mean by "no conformals"? Conformal tanks? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 So no conformals on the Japanese F15s? What do you mean by "no conformals"? Conformal tanks? he means FAST packs. While that equipment was originally tested on F-15C's they are exclusive to F-15E's, I's K's and I think the Saudis have the S's (not to confuse with SE). F-15J are actually licensed production F-15A's. That = no FAST packs. .
topol-m Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks Pilotasso for clarifying that. @Sawamura Nice pics, there's something very cute about that little aircraft T-4 :) Must be awesome to fly one. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

F-15J are actually licensed production F-15A's. That = no FAST packs. Good info. From pictures though the JASDF have 2 seat F15s. Those do not have the FAST packs either. What are their 2 seat versions based off of? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109
