FYI: the swearing when they're trying to shoot the guy with a 'winder at the end isn't because the missile wouldn't lock, the pilot forgot to turn the AIM-9 tone up to an audible level.
Edit: Sorry, it was Gulf of Sidra, not Sirta.

Yes, most of it is stock footage, and some of the narration is wrong (the f-14s wanted to get low B/C their weapons would work better compaaired to the Lybian MIGs in a shoot up battle...........intellegence report). The audio is spot on and the last few frames when the f-14 splashes the MIG is accurate.
BTW at the end when the fella is talking about 'un-loading' its not weapons he is talking about.
