Desert Storm F-15 Dog Fight

[Simpo Two]

A soundtrack I haven't heard since schooldays!

Nice shot at 4'20".

Yeah, the video is nice enough - song is quite fitting, but no-one should be under the impression that this film shows events taking place during Desert Storm. For a start, no F-15Ds made kills during Desert Storm - and yet we see most of the filming taken from the back seat of an F-15D!

..and they appear to be targetting QF-4 drones (1'06").

And dogfighting other F-15s, and the pilots are wearing patches. I didn't want to go too much into it and reveal myself to be an even bigger geek than I already have!

The start of the video looked very much like RAF Lakenheath.
