Kaman 99 tribute

A video tribute I made to the Iranian Operation Kaman 99.

On September 22nd the Iraqi Air Force bombed several targets within Iran trying to wipe out its air force on the ground including Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, following up soon later with a ground invasion consisting of over 70,000 men.

Iran launched a massive aerial counterattack against Baghdad the next day with over a hundred F-4's and F-5's hitting military targets while over 60 F-14's covered Iranian space in case of any retaliation.

Notes:
* The footage used to make up this video are from various stock footage of the Iraqi invasion from documentaries and from Press TV.
** US made F-15's are seen more than once, this isn't factual correct since Iran doesn't and never had F-15 Eagles, but for the most part the aircraft represented in this video are of the F-4's, F-5's and F-14's that took part in that operation.
