 Synopsis

Strike Force

For nearly five decades, aircraft wearing the American insignia have patrolled
the skies over Europe. Take a look at the men and machines of today’s United
States Air Force in Europe – the USAFE!

USAFE: The US Air Force in Europe flies all the hottest aircraft. F-15 Eagle,
F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Warthog. This program invites you to the USAFE
bases to witness their fight operations.

Attack Fighter: The special focus of this program is the F-111 strike fighter,
the offensive punch of USAFE’s tactical units. Listen as the pilots explain how
its sophisticated laser-guided bombing system works.

Prepping the Bird: Modern combat aircraft require care and patience to keep
them flying. F-111 crews explain their mission, and suit up for a flight aboard
their “Aardvark” strike aircraft.

Flying the F-111: Strap yourself into the seat of an F-111 and find out what it
takes, to fly the Aardvark. F-111 pilots describe the joys and terrors of flying
one of America’s hottest combat aircraft.

FL Dorado Canyon: The prelude to Desert Storm was Operation EL Dorado
Canyon, the retaliatory strike on Libya by USAFE’s F-111s. See actual combat
footage of the bombing attack, a preview of the F-111’s later mission over Iraq.



Test Pilot

As aircraft technology has became more and more complex, there has been an
ever-greater need for skilled test pilots. Take a flight to the home of “The Right
Stuff”, Edwards Air Force Base in California, and see test pilots in action.

The Right Stuff: Test pilots have the reputation of being daring adventurers.
But modern aircraft are so complex that test pilots have to be skilled engineers
as well, familiar with every aspect of airplane design. See how modern test pilots
are selected and trained.

Testing the Birds: Visit the flight line at Edwards Air Force Base to see the latest
aircraft in action.  The F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter is the hottest tactical fighter
ever tested at Edwards. The new C-17 transport has set records in its combat
capabilities.

Advanced Fighter: Get an exclusive in-depth look at the most advanced
American fighter, the F-22, as test pilots take it through the paces in the
skies over Edwards Air Force Base.
