What bugs me about the film is that there is no mention of the pilot's grandfather's name. I want to read about him. Yes, I love the jets, but the Corsair is the thing that dreams are made of.
It is a nice film. But c'mon, 24:35 dont try to sell that to me! Also there are some obvious blue/green screen shots where parts of the planes are obviously superimposed. And most of the sound seem to be done in post production (Foley). It is not really that quite inside a jet, im sure.
@Pestilence86 All the fake stuff in the film ruins it completely! I don't consider this a serious documentary about Red Flag for a second... It's a pity, though. Lots of great footage!
For the Search and Rescue Mission... how'd the cameras not give him away? Like if you're looking for someone and see a bunch of cameras, wonder how they did that. ha ha.
The dog fighting scenes seem mostly computer generated. If you look at 21:43 you'll see the aircraft appears to be decreasing in altitude, but the altimeter is actually increasing. Possible explanations for this behavior could include optical illusions with the rapidly varying terrain elevations, but I doubt it.
@naval8viator actually, if you notice, the horizon( horizontal line, is almost right in the middle between the +5/-5 degree pitch lines. What that means, is that the jet's nose is level to the horizon. Depending on trim settings, this means you can climb, even if the Angle of Attack is 0, given enough airspeed. Yes, the aircraft IS climbing, but at a negligible amount. =)
@MrLaCubanisima Actually, my observation had nothing to do with the aircraft's AoA. My observation had everything to do with the altimeter not correctly displaying what was happening outside the cockpit. The terrain was getting closer, yet the HUD indicates a climb. Again, as I stated, this could be an optical illusion, but I don't think it is. Also, the HUD itself seems to have been pasted onto the scene, there's no bounce as the plane moves, its too steady.
@naval8viator Your observation is flawed. The altimeter has nothing to do with the terrain. The altimeter, runs off of air density. It does not account for terrain. Only a radar altimeter does that, which the HUD does not display, obviously, if it did it would be illegible during this type of flying. It would distract the pilot, because it would be constantly changing so rapidly. Certain aircraft have a terrain hugging mode, to prevent slamming into the ground, but I don't think the F-15 has it.
@MrLaCubanisima I'm well versed in how an altimeter works. Altimeters measure atmospheric pressure relative to sea-level, not density. Again, the aircraft appears to be decending, the terrain is moving closer to the aircraft, yet the altimeter is increasing in altitude. For the third time, this can be explained by an optical illusion from the varying terrain, or because, as I suspect, many of the cockpit shots are faked.
I'll certainly agree with you that the imagery looks fake and is faked to a certain extent, but in your example the flight path marker does seem to be above the level line, so i dunno...they might have faked the entire HUD in afterwards I guess..
but look, the whole thing is probably fake anyway. Dogfight training at couple dozen feet above the ground?
That's turning the hard deck into the actual hard deck. Doesn't sound very safe. Theres a big safety margin for such training.
@MrLaCubanisima Furthermore, the AWACS displays are all completely fake. The icing on the cake is that one of the guys that supposed to be flying an F-16 is actually in the back of an F-15 in one of the shots.
Theres nothing like being on the fixing end and getting to watch the dropping of some 50 500 lb bombs at once, once in the day, and once at night. Those were some of my career highlights of a stay in an A-6 squadron.
morons working for the bankers to take over all countries for a global Government. And they have no idea they are doing it. Because of propaganda.. They will just follow orders. and do anything
That's not chilling out at all! One guy operates the engine from within a control unit (he is behind the window) while the other guy makes adjustments on the engine while it is running.
I've done this many times at Volkel Airbase on F16 engines.
That was AMAZING! I've been in aviation for 36 years as a pilot and a mechanic and this stuff never gets old. Thank you for uploading this great video.
The UK would not have sent RN Sea Harriers to a hoopla like this. They would have sent RAF tornado Fs. As the Harrier is just not built to fight in this kind of battle.
Thanks so much for your nice sharing. ^^ I've enjoyed it but I'm not good at English listening skill. Thus, could you give me English subs for this video??? Thanks again and wish you a nice day!!!
How did they fit an IMAX format camera into the cockpit of an F-15? LOL
