A little bit long,about 45 minutes,but interesting and there are 30 second commercial breaks.

Just tried it and it takes about a minute to come up.

The flying footage is pretty good, but the narration made me vomit on my keyboard.

Why does the Air Force consistently produce or participate in the most completely corny movie projects ever conceived? The heavy-handed PR direction is so apparent.

Cannot be streamed in japan

I saw this last time I was TDY at Nellis. Replace the word "keyboard" in Coachs' post with "floor of the TV section of the BX" and you have my situation. I was not impressed.

I'm pretty sure thats the one I saw in the IMAX theater in The Luxor whn we were at red flag a few years back. Dittos on the not impressed part.

Was just going to ask if it was the one at the Luxor, I saw it a few years back and left sick....I couldn't believe how terrible it was. Going in I had hoped it was going to be good, was excited to see it but the excitement didn't last long once it actually started...

Come on, you know you want to buy it for home!?!?!

Ok I have seen this movie. I always thought it was more akin to Disney productions of the 60's

Extra Cheezy!!!

You mean it doesn't get any better with a bigger screen?!?!

Being an old 462, I especially loved the \"Live Fire\" convoy scene. Couldn't have been more faked for the most part. And the part with the camera under the A-10 and watching the Mk-82s drop, and the Mavrick light off. \"Computerized for your viewing enjoyment.\" Noticed that even on my 15\" laptop screen.

I think you're way off target- all of you. To NON AIRFORCE PEOPLE that was a great sales pitch, very well done, and the 'character' was very earnest and like-able.

I am willing to bet countless young kids would be influenced by something like this. Brilliant. To a layman, the flying scenes are fantastic.

Seriously, i doubt the USAF put one seconds thought into whether or not YOU GUYS would like it....they already have you....

Good point Snipe.

The $$$$ spent could of been saved by re-using the 1970's
ABC's \"Sunday Night Movie\" \"Red Flag\" With Dennis Weaver in it as a F-4 Pilot.

It had a Plot , and some nice F-4 & F-5 flying.

Yes, but the dumbasses that we recruit with this crap have to work for people like me.

I would just like to see a bit more truth in advertising by our AF.

Coach

So you want to see a video with...cocky pilots, half ass crewmen that don't get the job done causing their other buddies more work, lazy EM's in the back shops and supply, bad officers that harass good troops over the dumbest shit....stuff like that?

LOL

Saw that one already...Fire Birds with Sean Young.

Coach

LOL, now THAT was a bad movie.

(that's the AH-64 Apache movie right?)
