This video commemorates the 67th Fighter Squadron winning the Raytheon Trophy--which is awarded to the best air superiority fighter squadron in a given year. 2011 in this case. The 67th is part of the 18th Wing, commanded by Brigadier General Matt Molloy. Molloy used to command 1st Fighter Wing until the middle of lastyear.
Despite its age, the Boeing (originally McDonnell Douglas) F-15C Eagle is still regarded as one of the best-if not the best- air superiority fighters ever built. With upgrades, the jet should remain a formidable fighter for years to come with its new APG-63 (v) 3 AESA radar, JHMCS+ AIM-9X and a host of other modifications in either already on the jet or soon to be added.
Not bad for a jet that first flew in 1972 (in the A-model form).
Version two for the US audience since apparently the youtube version doesn't work here (we have a British IP). This video is courtesy of a person calling himself "Jersey", presumably the flight lead if the video's description is accurate. If you happen to be Jersey, feel free to clarify or add more details.
