I saw this in an IMAX theater. Great video. About 45 min in length

Excellent! Very well done.

Fighter Pilots Red Flag ~ Nellis AFB, NV

A very realistic portrayal of not only what it was like to fly fighters, but also the super demanding role the pilots and crews face when they go to Red Flag, with seven and a half million acres of ranges to practice on. The missions there get tougher and tougher with each mission and when you graduate from those couple of weeks of training, you are ready to face an adversary in the real world. 48+ minutes long filmed in IMAX. Be sure to use full screen. Great photography.

Subject: FW: Wings of Russia - Fighters - A Struggle for Superiority



I just watched this not expecting much. It immediatly captured my attention. If you were a military flyer it is interesting to see the developments of the Soviet aircraft in comparison with US aircraft development at the same period of time. Most interesting of all is looking at what the "Russians" had when we had our time in the cold/hot war. I was especially interested in comparing my/our airplane with what we were told/briefed on as the capabilities of the "enemy" aircraft we would be facing in ....for me, Vietnam. Enjoy the vidio..you will see what I mean. Eric Jensen

The most informative thing I have seen on Russian fighter development for the last 60 years. I can't vouch for the accuracy of everything, but it sure is interesting--and a little frightening.

The video quality is excellent and has many shots not available elsewhere. It runs for 52 minutes and is well narrated with Russian (Soviet) propaganda.

An interesting historical article about a P-51 B/C that the Japanese obtained during WWII.
