F-16 and F-15 aggressors launch and recover during Red Flag.

[Gladioter1903]

Believe me the pilots from 64th and 65th are one of the best you don't want them haning on your 6

[lkj802]

am i right saying the 64th have f16s and the 65th have f15s just wondering also which agressors have f18s

[Helicopterpilot16]

What is the grinding winding sound on the F-15s landing?

[StormJordan15]

@Helicopterpilot16

c-17 or c-5

[Helicopterpilot16]

@StormJordan15 No its something to do with the controls.

[skipplet]

@Helicopterpilot16 It's the nozzles moving as the throttle is adjusted.

[coolyo366]

1:49 ITS TRACTOR (the aggressor commander) if you watched fighter pilot operation red flag thats his F-16 scheme

[superhornet1974]

what call sign do the agressor f-16"s use?

[coolyo366]

@superhornet1974 based on the movie either sniper flight or choclo flight

[luv4metallica]

Did anyone notice all of the F-16s are carrying only the right wingtip AIM-9 Sidewinder. Is there any significance of that or is it just a training requirement ?

[phantomTomcat1985]

@luv4metallica To simulate the Aim-9 they only need it to be carried on one weapons station. The other wingtip is occupied by the ACMI pod. That pod will keep track of how many "weapons" have been fired and record data to a cartridge for evaluation later. The pod also simulates Aim-120 and Aim-7 missiles along with the aircraft radar.

[luv4metallica]

@phantomTomcat1985 Thanks alot for that info. Well so what u mean 2 say is that on the left wingtip it is an ACMI pod? Well it doesn't look like a pod 2 me...looks more like an empty pylon.

[phantomTomcat1985]

@luv4metallica Its there, it looks like a missile without fins and a long nose probe. You can see it clearly at 0:36 on the video.

ACMI-Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation pod. Basically its a giant data recorder.

[luv4metallica]

@phantomTomcat1985 Hey thaks aton 4 dat info.I know what ACMI means. I follow and read alot about warfare avionics. Though I have nothing 2 do with it...its just a hobby and fascination for military technology. I had seen the F-16s in this configuration in many videos and I always thought it was a vacant pylon for the Sidewinder. Thanks for enlightening me on that.The last time I remember seeing an ECM pod was on a MiG-23BN.That pod was huge.

[TuAFFalcon]

What models equals the F-16I's? Block 50/52+?

[OlderG0ds]

F-16I is a variant of block 52+

[TuAFFalcon]

So the IAF only have PW engine equipt F-16's?

[OlderG0ds]

I know F-16I has P&W engines, not sure about the other ones. They have some A-D models, they do a few modifications on them but not to the engine I'm pretty sure.

[pablytuzz]

0:32 love that F16i Well painted by Israel :D

[OlderG0ds]

"Painted by Israel"?

These aren't Israeli planes, they are USAF 64th / 65th aggressor squad

[pablytuzz]

my mistake, now i see the "WA.." i throught that their were the F-16i ;)

they have a similar camo but of course they arent the i version--

[avi99998]

i love IAF

[JasonC9774]

Falcons are beautiful birds. Viper is my all-time fav.

[manta540]

que es ese ruido ?del F15 antes de tocar el suelo?

[DiabolicHellfire]

Might be the intakes

[GVAPhotography]

What's that noise right before the F-15s touch down?

[KrisRamJ]

It's the hydraulic actuators on the afterburner nozzles that make them open and close as the pilot makes throttle movements

[Raptorguy22]

Why are they carrying external fuel tanks? Are they allowed to Jettison their stores over the Nellis Range?

[lukepevensie]

what's wrong with that blue camo that had to TOGA

[jordanextreme]

love the blue camo

[LuxuryAndExotics]

I like that brown camo paint job on them F-16's

[namelesuser]

actually.. im pretty sure WA stands for Weapons Academy

[F110GE129VIPER]

From a text I`ve had on Test and Nellis units for quite awhile. A U.S military data base list simply states WA as Warfare, and ET as Eglin test. Check with people at Nellis next time you are there in case unit and program names have been renamed. Nice footage.

[F110GE129VIPER]

The Fighter Weapons School aircraft have the same code as the Aggressor units at Nellis. OT is for Operational Test, and ET is Experimental Test, out of Nellis and Eglin .

[F110GE129VIPER]

8081rt. The WA stands for Weapons Analysis

[8081rt]

Isn't it Weapons Academics?

[dream555be]

Correct !

[vadimo]

really good video and HD is so nice

quality stuff!!

[alvaradoandy]

Great video!!! How did you get on base?

[JEFFMM71]

nice vid i once stayed at a hotel in las vegas called nellis sweets and every morning i was woke up by the roar of an f-16, i even saw an f-22 take off it was awsome.

[Nastafar]

Were those IDF bastards in Red Flag?

[adampope64]

so these guys ever escort flights into groom?

[caddykevin]

Great video as always sir! What does the WA on the tail stand for? Is it for Washington or something else?

[killjoy270]

nice video man

[8081rt]

Thanks.

[nick0912nascar]

awesome as always and nice paint scheme on the f-16's!

[rednight666666]

what are the requirments to be an agressor?

[WildBillHabiki]

I'm sure they only choose the best and probably the more senior pilots to be agressor pilots.

[skachj2]

Super video.
