I suspect gear and flaps down speed of a F15 to be around 110 or 120 knots.


Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent F-15s from endangering the public
by exceeding the 250 knot speed limit below 10,000'.



Umm, military has never been restricted to the 250knot speed. You really
think they are 'endangering the public' when they do this? Do you think
they don't know where YOUR aircraft is long before you see them?
