Loved the video. They sure paint the planes different then they used to. Caught the backdrop of the Thunderbird Hanger in some of the footage. I used to drive up and down that flight line all the time.
So cool. I could watch this stuff all day, everyday. What blows my mind is how those F-15's land at such a high AoA and deploy their air brake and then just stay up on their rear wheels for a looooooooooooong time and the engine nozzles are only a few inches off the asphalt and they never scrape the ground! You can see the horizontal stabs continuously adjusting to keep it in that position for as long as possible. Some of the F-16s do it too. You'll see some planes drop the nose almost immediately after the rears touch down which I think is safer and probably better on the front gear suspension because the other way around is a heavier drop. Either way, those F-15 landing and keeping the nose up for so long on the runway is really cool to watch.
ahh actually every country that participates in RedFlag gets invited, you can't just show up at the exercise. and Pakistan participated in 2010 exercise, Russian Fighters will soon be there also. It was on the news.
