Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., hemos recibido información de la Agencia Espacial NASA, sobre los adelantos de su Super Avión : Águila F-15D, que es una herramienta de trabajo para la transmisión de informacón desde el aire, consta de dos asientos, el piloto y el copiloto quien es el que trabaja en los videos.

View From an F-15D
NASA pilot Jim Less and photographer Jim Ross pull their
F-15D #897 aircraft away from a KC-135 refueling tanker. NASA is
supporting the Edwards Air Force Base F-15 program with safety and photo
chase expertise.
NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center currently flies an F-15D Eagle aircraft
for research support and pilot proficiency. NASA research support
aircraft are commonly called chase planes and fill the role of escort
aircraft during research missions. Chase pilots are in constant radio
contact with research pilots and serve as an "extra set of eyes" to help
maintain total flight safety during specific tests and maneuvers. They
monitor certain events for the research pilot and are an important
safety feature on all research missions. Chase aircraft also are used as
camera platforms for research missions that must be photographed or
videotaped. Aeronautical engineers use this pictorial coverage (photos,
motion pictures, and videotape) extensively to monitor and verify
various aspects of research projects. The F-15D is also used by
Armstrong research pilots for routine flight training required by all
NASA pilots.

Armstrong currently flies an F-15D Eagle aircraft for research
support and pilot proficiency. The F-15D has a two-seat cockpit and like
the 2 seat Support Aircraft F-18, it is normally used for photo or
video support. It will be transmitting live video from the air back to
Armstrong so engineers can visually monitor the mission as it is being
flown. This feature greatly enhances flight safety.
