P51 has no problems with 250 mph so.....

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Nice film Golfer.    I never understood the reason they always seem to play music at the airshows during the air demonstrations and flybys.   the sound of the planes is music enough  :)

Raider did you even watch the video?  He popped the speed brake a bit when he was getting into formation and was clean the rest of the trip.

The P-51s were probably doing close to (+/-) 200kts.  F-15 has no trouble with that number.  F-16's will hang with a Mooney and Piper Apache (piston twin).

Just departed and was about 8 miles west of my home airport with a student and we leveled off at 5,500ft.  Cruise checklist complete and I was thumbing through my notes on how I was going to be a sadistic evil person to this guy.  Next thing I hear is a loud "Oh S#!T" and look over to see him looking at our 7-8 oclock position.  I look back and there's an F-16 hanging there.  I took the airplane, waggled my wings and started to tune the radio to 121.5 to talk to this guy when he rolls left, comes up underneath our airplane and accelerates ahead of us.  You could clearly see the yellow checkertail trim and panther on his tail (Confirmed he was from Springfield's Training wing...same guys as this Video for the Ohio ANG.  He lit the burner a few hundred yards ahead of us and up he went climbing for several thousand feet and leveled off heading west.  Never did see his wingman...wonder if he was practicing target aquisition :O

If they can hang out with 320hp (2x 160) and 200hp GA airplanes...they can easily fly around with very high performance military airplanes with 1600hp.

It's funny , i tried googling the F-15 stall speed and couldnt find anything concrete.  I find that kinda weird , i'd really be suprised if it was classifed .
