Jeff every year at Scott AFB in Illinois they would have an F 15 come in from St Louis and it would make a low and slow fly by...then a fast fly by and on the 3rd pass he would put it on its ass and go straight up..I think the F15 held a record for time to climb and was one of the few jets that could accelerate vertical...or something like that...say ar SR 71 do the same thing there...My brother was career AF and he never saw an SR71 until then....at Clark AFB they would take off and land under cover of night usually and go directly to the hanger
