This stunning display at The Royal International Air Tattoo with perfect clouds created one of the best displays I have seen in a very long time! This BOEING F-15QA ABABIL aircraft will be configured ‘clean’ to show off the maximum performance of the aircraft, flown by Boeing test pilots.
The F-15QA Ababil was originally ordered by the Qatari Emiri Air Force during 2017 and 34 aircraft will be built in total. The F-15QA represents one of the most advanced F-15 variants ever made incorporating more powerful engines, a digital fly by wire system, an advanced radar and additional weapons pylons. The advent of the fly by wire system has increased the aircrafts agility and allows aerobatic manoeuvres previously unavailable to the F-15, including the tail slide. The F-15QA has also formed the basis of the newest F-15s to be ordered by the USAF - the F-15EX Eagle II

When you look at this F-15 and view them beating up the Mach Loop, a person tends to forget that this beast is almost 64 feet long. It's brutally graceful.
-
That was a SHORT takeoff roll.
-
Float like a butterfly and strike like an Eagle!! Awesome display!!❤❤❤
-
Never occurred to me before how much the Eagle reminds me of a raptor without the stealth.
-
The noise when it pulled out of the high alpha into the loop was epic, its a beast!!!!
-
Best F15 display ever seen
-
The Ole Girl can still dance !!!Awesome display and Thank You Elwyn for your stunning cinematography
-
SO that is what an f-15 can do with a fly by wire system. Amazing!
-
It makes sense they would send an F-15QA to a show... so that it's ready to answer questions for the crowd.
-
Just got back to Cornwall after visiting the show today and had to look for this already. Absolute beast, and the highlight of the show for me. I overheard a crew member saying one airframe has only 17 hours and the other 22. Incredible piece of kit 😎
-
We were there today as well....a truly gobsmacking performance. Thanks for posting this. It really is an amazing transformation with this new version.
-
That FBW and those GE-129 engines really opened up the envelope for the F-15 by the looks of that display.
-
Also, pitch up is crazy impressive, especially without thrust vectoring.
-
The first time I saw an Eagle demo was 1981 at Langley AFB. This is a different beast. Same frame but huge upgrades
-
Эти парни отлично знают свое дело !
-
The remarkable cobra maneuver and tail slide...wow!
-
Amazing camera work as per usual! I was there today as well! My first time at Fairford or any major airshow like this for that matter. The vibration in your chest as the thing rockets past you with burners on was incredible.
-
Who said the Eagle can’t do the Cobra maneuver and dance on its tail!! Love this video!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
-
My local ANG base just got it's first two F-15EX Eagle IIs. Such a beautiful aircraft.
-
In all my years as a pilot that is one of the best military displays of the F15 i have ever seen, well done!
