On this episode of Access Granted, I’m uncovering one of the best-kept secrets in the Air Force—how you can fly fighter jets as a part-time job. Join me for an epic flight in the legendary F-15 Eagle to see what your life could look like as a pilot in the United States Air National Guard.

One of fastest out there.
AMAZING VIDEO SAM!!! Thanks for this!!
Yeah, man, you can only get a privilege like that in great America. Period!
The back f 15 has the same skin as in warthunder
I’m curious—are those who do not yet have a pilot’s license and IFR on active duty while they learn to fly? Learning to fly doesn’t seem like something that you can break up into 1 weekend/month, 2 weeks/year schedule. After you’re qualified on the F-15C, that would be doable, but learning to fly is a somewhat lengthly process, with an awful lot of study/planning time in between time spent in the simulator and actually in the air.
It may be getting a bit older now but the eagle is like the A10 it's so good it should never be retired
💚🇲🇦🇲🇦
I have been intimately associated with the Eagle. I was in the Air Force in the 70s. There was one base that was the test and evaluation before the Air Force bought it,
I was at Luke AFB as an avionics tech. When the Air Force bought a flock of Eagles they roosted them at Holloman AFB, NM. In fall of 1977 I was part of the change over from the F-4s to the F-15. I received 3 letters of commendation for that.
In 1983 I went to work at Mc Donnell Aircraft at Edwards AFB as an avionics tech on the F-15 ASAT. I helped the Celestial Eagle shoot down an orbiting satellite in 1985.
I have Eagle blood in me.
I am so sorry i'm to old ( 52) to become pilot , but i ❤️❤️❤️✈️✈️✈️✈️ The best , the coolest job , hobby …, to fly , and specially a jet fighter !
I love you, Sam. Heartfelt❤️ greetings to you , to the United States of America 🇺🇸, and to its crews.
2026. The Netherlands Airforce is now short of an F-15 Squadron we dearly miss.
The 32nd TFS Wolfhounds based at Soesterberg. Camp New Amsterdam. The only Royal designated Squadron in the U.S Airforce by title given by his Royal Prince Bernard of the Netherlands.The primary Squadron to intercept Soviet Planes from the mid 70's untill the mid 90' and the first Squadron receiving the C and D model before any other U.S airforce sqaudron ever got there hands on them. Always on 247 QRA duty. We still miss you guys, greetings from Holland.

now thats some good propaganda
I’m 11 right now, but my dream is to fly a f16 or f15 and this will tell me how to sign up when I’m a lot older
Always dug the f15 more than the f16… Just sayin
As an 11 years old, I wanted to be a fighter pilot this channel made it become my passion
This was amazing. Thank you for doing this and showing us this
Starscream ❤️
GOD bless USA

Dude that green and orange paint scheme is insanely awesome
The author of the video studied and graduated from the US Air Force Academy, but behaves like a civilian and asks stupid questions about airplanes and much more. It's unpleasant to listen, it's scary to think about what he did and how he studied at the academy if he doesn't have basic knowledge.
Listen to what he says…

Автор видео учился и закончил академию ВВС США, но ведёт себя как гражданский и задаёт глупые вопросы про самолёты и другое. Слушать не приятно , страшно подумать чем он занимался и как учился в академии если не владеет простыми знаниями
Послушайте что он говорит…
i live there!!
Having the Air Force as a sponsor is wild.
Should make something if you pass out from the g's wake you up. Shock, squeeze, or maverick. 😂
