RAF Buccaneer S2 Exercise RED FLAG
Foldingwings
Tune is Spiral by Vangelis. Showed up in one of my playlists. I have no idea how it got there, but it's a cool tune, so here we are. Video is from 1982, which means the video was originally recorded on film with an actual mechanical camera.
The Buccaneer was the UKs low-level transsonic toss bomber. Like really low.
ReplyDeleteAt the red flag exercises it came in across the desert at 20 feet altitude,
but only because at 10 feet it was kicking up rooster-tails of desert dust.
It won the exercise because nobody saw it coming.
