Red Flag Time Lapse!

You know, it doesn't happen often on youtube, but they absolutely nailed the soundtrack for that footage. I'm half tempted to go download that music now.

Hope they got permission from Power Glove to use the song. YouTube will whack it otherwise...

Never listened to them before but I like em'. Might have to buy that EP.
 
BTDT, a few times, as I'm sure @Hacker15e has too.

Best things about LSV, are the takeoff from RW 21 and having to make the immediate north turn. Or if RW 3 is in use, watching heavies like KC-135s and KC-10s making the extreme tight constant-turn base to final, where they rollout for a very short time prior to touchdown.

But yeah, 117 was first to launch, last to recover when it came to the fighter/attack aircraft, due to our mission profile as well as fuel. Even in the video, you can see the fighters recovering, followed last by the tankers and bombers. Tankers taxiing to the main ramp, and bombers to the east ramp.

Standard night recovery of proceed Arcoe, for the HI-ILS 21L.

Red Flag was much more interesting back in the day when there many more aircraft types playing, such as the F-111, F-4, RF-4 and F-5.

My last Red Flag, had F-111 and Tornado IDS planes taking part. Night F-111 takeoff........a sight to see:
