That was an awesome video!

the f-15 can fly as slow as 110 mph guys... A p-51 and f-15 can easily fly together.

Whats really amazing is the size difference between the P-51 & F-15. Fighters have really grown in size over the years - you don't see them side by side often.

They did the same thing a few years ago at Dayton with the F-14 Tomcat and the F7F Tigercat.

I think it crashed, broke the wings off, and killed the pilot.

Delta wing fighters don't really have a conventional "stall". They just get progressively harder to fly and require more and more power to stay airborne as they slow down. The f-16 computer keeps it from getting too close to a true stall, and the f-15 controls typically can't force a high enough angle of attack to lose all lift as in a conventional stall.

I suppose 150 is a reasonable enough number as a practical minimum for an F-15, as below that speed a mistake could result in significant altitude loss.

For a comparison, here is what the 300mm Nikkor lens will do for you:
