Red Flag - Viva Las Vegas

This is the infamous crash video shown at Red Flag, well at least it used to be, maybe it still is. Not all the crashes are from Red Flag. Still a good video...many consider classic.

The C-130 crash was fatal for the entire crew. I think it was at Ft Bragg, in the late 80s I believe. The Sheridan has been released out the back, but the AC went into some trees and disintegrated. The rest of the video shows that.

He actually hit the tips of the tree's and damaged his F-16 and he was able to still fly it and bring it back home.

Still, you can't see much on videos like these, and reading AFM or Combat Aircraft's writeoffs is about as offensive as this. Not like it's one of those retarded Faces of Death things, those I hate too.

I don't personally think people make these videos for viewing pleasure. I find that it acknowledges the brave, heroic pilots who risk their life everyday doing what they do and allows you to spare a thought on the sacrifices people make. Just my opinion.
