 Synopsis

Royal Air Force

Over fifty years ago, Spitfires and Hurricanes waged a deadly contest in the
skies over London with the German Luftwaffe. The descendents of the Battle
of Britain fighters are the interceptors of today’s Royal Air Force.

Strike Command: Strike Command is the inheritor of the Battle of Britain air
units. Flying a wide range of aircraft from Harrier jump jets to Tornado strike
fighters, Strike Command is the Royal Air Force’s most potent tactical arm.

Tornado: Fifty years of aviation technology have meant a major leap from
the propeller-driven Spitfire of 1940 to the hot Tornado F3 interceptor of today.
See what changes have taken place in the nature of air combat technology
since the Battle of Britain.

Semper Agressus: The essential element of air combat the air crew, has
changed less than the aircraft.  As the wing’s motto goes – Always Aggressive!
Listen to RAF pilots as they describe what it takes to be one of the elite
members of RAF’s Strike Command.

RAF Base: Come along to RAF Leeming, home of today’s air defense Tornado
wing. Find out what it takes to prepare a fighter plane and its crew for long
missions over the chilly waters of the North Sea!



Air Guard

The United States Air Force bolsters its active duty aircraft squadrons with the
forces of the Air National Guard.  Take a trip to Syracuse, New York to visit the
Desert Storm veterans of the Air Guard F-16 Squadrons.

Falcons on Guard: The Air Guard pilots are some of the most experienced in
the business. See how these airmen make the transition from being peacetime
airliner pilots to combat strike fighter pilots.

Guardsmen: What does it take to operate modern high tech fighters like the
F-16 Fighting Falcon? Take an inside look at preparing and flying one of today’s
hottest jet aircraft.

Desert Falcon: The F-16s of the Syracuse Air Guard squadrons were amongst
the armada of aircraft taking part in Operation Desert Storm. Several of the
Syracuse pilots are veterans of the Vietnam Air War and recall their combat
experiences.
