Your Uncle was a King. May I ask wich branch he flew?

My condolences

End credit says IMAX production

I know right, that was the best f-15 movie/documentary I've ever seen

Probably better than today, and in 1080P. When you look at all the military technology in this film it's hard to believe it is 20+ years old.

We’re you drunk writing this

​@@sonicsupersam7793 you just think he was because he is talking faxs

@@kevinshelley9766 no I just genuinely can’t understand what he is trying to say

Thank you for saying it, The world forgets American involvement in World War 2, we caught wars on two fronts at the same time, one with Germany, and the other with Japan, not counting Italy. And we never occupied their country when they were defeated. Yes, we have bases there and still do, but we will leave if they want us to. So Thanks again.

Really? 78 ? Hell yeh 😎👍

@@arcanjopixel my pic is me at 50 years old

This documentary is 20 years old. These guys aren't so young anymore.

@@marktrain9498 ohhhh...I was wondering why the were not flying F35s and F22s. I thought maybe because it would've been unfair to some of the other nations that didn’t have em lol

@@marktrain9498 this doc is from 2002? Damn, the camera quality back then was stellar. Seems more like 10-15 years ago but you could be right

Those were not the true picture on the displays in the AWACS, those screens are classified. There was a lot of CG but it was cool and yes I hope we always stay ahead of the rest!

That's because none of those views in the AWACS are real. The AWACS guy running the mission on board is an F-15 Guy. The displays in AWACS looking nothing like that, they are very old and outdated.

My grandpa didn't fly prop jobs (my great uncle trained pilots in Hurricanes in BC during WWII), but he fought in Dunkirk, Dieppe, North Africa, and the rest of Italy through Anzio and got to rest to end at Monte Cassino. But he did tell me the same stories I heard in this show. I want to say propaganda but its a true story. If you're in the West the US still has its shit together gods willing.

@@faabound so those 3D graphics are not real?

I'd kill to see this with f22's!

Nevermind I just found all of the other spark videos I can now watch!!! They are all awesome!!

Well, a lot of these amazing angles and views are CGI

@@MrRadialdrift I was wondering how much was CGI, but considering when this was made CGI wasnt as good as it is now it was really well done. Still exciting and well made, I think it would be interesting to see how much was CGI but eh. still a great watch!! Thank you!!

Aviation photography masterpiece

It is awesome to see a great documentary of the integration and training behind our Air Force and Allies. Capturing the entire cadre of the war machine, intel, maintenance, munitions, fire and rescue really speaks to the true story of professionalism it takes to accomplish the mission. I spent 3 years at Nellis AFB in the Bomb Dump maintaining, building, delivering, planning, and supporting all facets that go into delivering the explosive armaments employed during these Red Flag exercises, Air Warrior exercises, and the USAF Fighter Weapons School training. I had the honor and pleasure of working with the best, most dedicated professionals found in any industry or enterprise. They include the men and women of the Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Army - plus several other nations. I really don’t believe there’s another nation that trains it’s military and it’s allies harder and smarter than ours.

Simmering away delightfully isn't it, I wonder if you know what date?

Do excuse my stupidly, 2004 it states under the title, gonna devour this right now. ✈️

Me too

Reminds me of "step into liquid " or endless summer the way its done

Nellis AFB has a great display of Russian aircraft and AA and tanks that takes a top secret or secret clearance to see. I had one in the 80's and got to sit in many Russian aircraft and ground vehicles including AA and ground to air missile batteries among many more interesting aircraft like the ground attack aircraft. It was interesting and great fun.

you know... I was just thinking, "this feels a lot like an IMAX film." Thank you for validating my suspicions.

The only thing more impressive than the pilots and flight crew, are the amazing minds that created such a machine

@@asteve6537 indeed

I wish you could experience it at an IMAX location! It’s incredible to watch and listen to on there 👍 They have, or at least had it at the Air Force Museum at Wright Patt AFB! Watched it many times as a kid as I lived 15 minutes away and went with my dad once a month. He had to have hated the museum after a while haha. Man do I miss going there.

@@ridestolenbmx100 Man, IMAX makes everything sound good.

John is my wife's cousin. I've met him a few times & watched him play soccer against Creighton up in Omaha. Great guy.

There are so many people that want to be at ur place rn ur a great guy man

“A-10 ‘Hog’: ‘At $60,000 an hour to fly - better buy a gas ⛽️ station!” 😜⛽️🤪⛽️🤪⛽️🤪

Between being a crew chief of the C-130 E at red flag in 1987 in my spare time ground crewed a T-38 aggressor aircraft earned a aggressor crew chief patch that is totally cool. Very few if any ANG enlisted have ever gotten that patch from the USAF. It includes the hammer and cycle is red with the red star in gold. I was a E 5 at the time USAF 1964-1968, ANG 1983-1990 go Air Force.

At least we hear the precious history we missed

Not everyone went through this You jealous?

the Grumman F-14 Tomcat

In Iran ?

Ummmm F14s have been retired since 2006. So how can your dad be a tomcat pilot lol

@@spitfirealexix3640 right!!! They've been retired since 2006 in US lol

I’m glad you mentioned the year, was starting to doubt the fact that Royal Navy Harriers took part considering they went out of service years ago, just goes to show how well this was filmed as it seems quite modern! :)

yeah, the tail flashes were all over the place.

I find it more amazing how many still are, hoben how Ole this documentary is. The F-16, F-18 and A-10 for instance are still in use.

I'm thinking they're in the back seats of f-15d, the 2 seat eagle, but not strike eagle?

@@qbasicmichael very possible, most of this was shot at Mountain Home so it could have been either the D or the E

Really curious how old this is, they're talking about the F-15 being the most powerful and the best fighter in the world, when the F-22 has been around for 20 years. And the Brits? Flying Harriers? How long ago did they get rid of those?

@@Ekatha I believe that this was filmed in 2004. It may have been released that same year too, but I’m not too sure.
