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.

Google +USAF +"brevity code".

I went through a lot of this jargon preparing an OFP single player campaign based on piloting an A10 Warthog. I received a lot of help from AF servicemen on various game forums. I used the soundtrack of this YouTube film as background environment noise played during one of the campaign's missions.

Gee was that fun!
OK, what are these calls?
Magnum
Shotgun

Rifle is for AGM-65 Maverick.
Magnum is for AGM-88 HARM.

There doesn't seem to be any munition in Falcon 4 that will give me a "Shotgun" call so heck if I know.

A few years ago I went to Duxford on a cold day and I spotted a MIG-15 on the runaway I had to wait some 20 minutes to watch it take off, well worth the wait.

Default launching fighters from trucks

I remember reading in "Smitsonians' Air & Space" a while back how US Air Force tried such a program. Article showed F-100's launching from flatbeds. Found out that it was harder on airframes (and pilots) than normal carrier launch. Check mag. archives at library for full details.
