Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag(2004)Documentary | Short ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A state-of-the-art, edge of your seat experience!

Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag delivers speeds of up to 800 miles per hour with thundering, roaring, screaming sound and stunning aerobatics that will blow you away! Filmed over the Nevada desert with unprecedented access to military procedures, the film features an enormous armada of aircraft including four U.S. squadrons of F-15C Eagles and F-15E Strike Eagles, F-16 Aggressors, Stealth F-117s, B-1B Lancers, B-2 Stealth bomber, C-17 Globemaster III, a U-2R and more... For more details about Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag on Blu-ray, see the Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag Blu-ray Review Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Encoded in VC-1 and averaging about 20 Mbps, Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag has the advantage of its IMAX filmstock to back up its good picture quality. Contrast is generally good, and what colors are present on the film's desert landscape are rendered realistically. Blue skies and golden mornings look especially vivid. Unsurprisingly, the standout segments are artificial ones - specifically the animated AWACS computer simulations. Blacks and shadow details are well depicted, and the bright flare of engine burners or practice "missile fire" pop without blooming. Not a stunning high definition presentation by any sense, Fighter Pilot still fares pretty well on Blu-ray, especially for a film who's strength is drawn from the size of its screen presentation. Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() With a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix, Fighter Pilot boasts a superb aural experience. Simply put, the roar of jet engines is incredibly impressive on a good 5.1 system. A rich soundscape engulfs the viewer, with aircraft surging well across the front and into the back. Narration and dialogue are kept to the center channel, but the ambient noise is where most of the experience is created. The rear channels help to flesh out the presentation, with everything from engine warm-ups to exploding lines of "enemy" tanks filling your home theatre space with a rather dramatic cacophony. To this end, the LFE channel gets a hefty workout lending ample boom and rush to the soundscape. Overall, Fighter Pilot's audio fits its subject matter to a tee, and takes it above and beyond!
