Showing off their incredible machines and what they can do with them, this video by the 67th Fighter Squadron is mind blowing.
We’d never heard of the Raytheon Trophy until today, but it is awarded annually to the best air-to-air team in the US Air Force. This year’s winners, for the sixth time, was the 67th Squadron, known as the Fighting Cocks.
They fly F-15C Eagles and to celebrate their win they put together this video, showcasing what they can do. With lots of helmet and plane mounted GoPros you get to see them fly incredibly close to each other, fly terrifyingly close to mountains in Alaska and even refuel in mid-air.
The sheer manoeuvrability of the planes is stunning, so if you want to pretend you’re Maverick for a few minutes, stick this video on full screen and enjoy.
The GoPro stuff starts at the 1.00 mark and the music is not good, so maybe hit mute before pressing play.
Enjoy.
