Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag is an IMAX film about a man who wants to be, like his grandfather, a fighter pilot, chronicling his experience at United States Air Force Red Flag training, a simulated air war designed to train pilots for combat. It was directed by Stephen Low. The movie shows how soldiers simulate a war without killing one other, the training of firemen, midair refueling, inside the plane views, and other aspects of aerial combat. The film was released in December 2004.
[edit] A war without guns
The exercise simulates an air war without firing actual weapons using NACTS (Nellis Air Combat Training System). The planes send back topography information to the computer, and when they have "fired," the computer figures out who is "hit." Color codes offer a way of telling the countries apart, and the red planes are the enemy force in the exercise.
