ACC F-15E Strike Eagle Demo team

Post by skysearcher » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:07 pm

Hi folks, one of my favourite displays - that i never got to see in person- is the strike eagle demo team flying in a 48FW jet.
I was browsing video and photos from when they have displayed over here (RIAT, Duxford etc) and then looked at ACC aerial events - but there is no mention of the Strike Eagle demo team at all..

Does anyone know- is the Strike Eagle demo team finished for good now?
please let me know?

Team was disbanded in 2012, unfortunately.

That's sad to hear. I remember seeing a display at Duxford. Can anyone tell me what year it was?

Oh no... thanks MRTT.. sad news. ACC still have a viper demo, so was hoping with the push to sell newer variants of the '15 airframe the strike eagle demo team might still exist.

No but there is an epic (dont usually use that word lightly) video on youtube of an LN F-15E doing a demo in the wet at MAKS a few years back. Truly stunning display: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2tuj4LWEPw

Theres also a 'dry' display from the same guy which is also very good.

Turn it up!
