Israeli Air Force in Action
By John
I'm not sure what to make of this...I think that it's a video game intro? Either way, once they switch to actual footage, the clip is a fine summary of the Israeli Air Force's distinguished history.
Course it's like Moshe Dayan said, "in war, it always helps if one can arrange to fight Arabs." Not to take away from the IAF's accomplishments...just sayin', is all.

With the "Copyright Electronic Arts" at the end it's definitely a video game.
ha, yup. Not bad though!
that gun camera footage was no "vidieo game" The IAF is second only to the USAF. The F15 Eagle is still the best fighter ever produced, it has never had a combat loss.
The F15 is indeed an amazing peice of hardware. Check out this footage of an Israeli pilot landing one with the right wing completely torn off!
This is actually the uncut intro sequence from Jane's IAF, a flight sim from a few years back.
Yeah, it's from Jane's IAF like Stefan said. EA made a whole slew of great flight sims for a while under that name. Never got to play IAF though, but always wanted to.
Cool!
Hopefully they will be able to add:
"Iran 2007" to the highlights shortly..
Didn't one of the Israeli officers say something along the lines of, "It isn't so much that we're THAT good, it's that our opponents are morons..."

Pretty neat, John. Of course as a Jewish American I am biased. I did have to laugh at the Moshe Dayan quote. Perhaps he was detracting from his own brilliance as a commander?
