Here’s a short yet cool video of the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Fighting Falcon in action, recorded during Red Flag by an IMAX high definition camera. Keep your eyes peeled for the wingtip vortices!

About the F-15
The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It possesses an unequaled combination of performance, firepower and avionics. First flown in July 1972, the USAF plans to keep the F-15 in service until 2025.

About the F-16
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, single-engined jet fighter aircraft developed for the USAF. Though designed as a lightweight fighter, it has evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven its worth in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. The Falcon is the largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since its production in 1976.

About Red Flag
Red Flag is an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted at Nellis AFB, Nevada and Eielson AFB, Alaska. Conducted in four-to-six cycles a year by the 414th Combat Training Squadron of the 57th Wing, the exercises are very realistic aerial war games. Red Flag trains pilots from the United States, NATO, and other allied countries for real combat situations. Since 1975, air crew from the USAF and other US military branches and allies take part in the exercises.
