1
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:02,070
- It was a lot of fun.

2
00:00:02,070 --> 00:00:06,470
It was really interesting
to be able to see

3
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:08,240
the public's reaction.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,130
My name is Major Scott Smith.

5
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:12,490
I'm the F-15 flight commander here

6
00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:15,080
at the 339th flight test squadron.

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,380
And we recently were able to participate

8
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:20,363
in the Thunder Over Georgia Air Show.

9
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:24,320
A lot of times, for the
missions that we do around here,

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,160
mostly we get the take off and landing.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,580
And then everything else
is done up at altitude.

12
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:31,890
So, there's really not a lot of impact

13
00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:35,521
or visibility to a lot
of the local people here.

14
00:00:35,521 --> 00:00:38,420
With the air show, it was nice to be able

15
00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:40,650
to show a little bit of
performance characteristics

16
00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:42,840
of the airplane in a way that

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,590
the rest of the general
public doesn't get to see

18
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:47,360
on a regular basis.

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,882
It's still in the top
tier of modern airplanes.

20
00:00:51,882 --> 00:00:55,260
In terms of air-to-air
performance, it's unmatched.

21
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:59,007
104 victories and zero defeats in combat.
