RL Red Flag Info!

Thanks! Have one playing in the backround already :)

good stuff, good quality too.

Speaking of which, the IMAX Red Flag movie is worth watching, even though it has some hokey and unnecessary special effects.

great stuff many thanks for this i love it.

RF and Area 51 site

Here is a site http://www.dreamlandresort.com/ I visit often. Lots of good information on Red Flag, Area 51 and black projects. :thumbup:

makes a nice change from Liveatc KLAX heheh. thanks great find.:megalol::megalol::thumbup:

I liked the Imax vid, too bad it had to be so chessily narrated. Should have had James Earl Jones or the ED version of Samuel L Jackson. Great insight into the red flag exercises though. Had no idea how many pilots and aircraft were invited.

Yeah I've seen the IMAX movie and coming from someone who was in the Air Force and crewed F-16's on a daily basis, I laugh so hard how cheesy and obviously fake some of the scenes are. Now I understand that to get actual video of some views that are CGI are almost impossible, but for me its the vibe that the film puts off, like they try too hard to make you believe those are actual real video recorded. At least 90 percent of the footage of the maintenance crew marshaling is so unbelievable and scripted. I know they are not actors and all, its just for me at least its just very hard to watch.

That's the one. Little more impressive on a 60' screen though :)

straight talk. Try Jetstream from Discovery Channel Canada.

Another great free flying movie

thx for the link, gives some video opportunities :)

Pardon me but where on that page do I download the actual audio/video clip? everything I click on takes me to a page to download that particular player.

It's probably trying to stream it in your browser. Instead of left clicking the links, right click and choose "Save Link As" or "Save Target As", depending on the browser you're using.

Tomcat video was much better than that Imax film.

In the Imax video I was shocked that they called in A10s to combat the enemy Helo. Seemed odd considering no radar on A10s.

Its funny, the Luftwaffe boys keep reverting to Deutsche over English

A-10s bagged some Helis in gulf war 1, flying low and slow might make it easier against such a slow moving target. Most likely they were the closest asset at the time though.

Jetstream is a great show. Love going through the training experience with those pilots.

This page includes recordings, frequencies, call signs, target coords, etc. for the real Red Flags 2002 through 2007. Awesome!

I was at a few of those Flags as an AWACS WD. That site is a little confused about some of the things they say, for example misunderstanding Callsigns or 3-1 Brevity term usage, i would be happy to answer questions that I can on here in regard to AWACS - Fighter ops or Red Flag in general.
