![]() (From the Red Flag Fact Sheet, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada)Įstablished in 1975, Red Flag is a two-week, realistic combat training exercise involving the elite aerial forces from all four branches of the U.S. “Easily the most exciting aerial IMAX movie ever shown at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum.” Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Doree Armstrong “For every little kid who dreams about flying, the Pacific Science Center has the movie for you… FIGHTER PILOT: OPERATION RED FLAG” “the real reason to see this film is its startling, surprisingly moving, footage of F-15 Eagles breaching from clouds, otherworldly Stealth jets floating into view from the edge of Pacific Science Center’s six-story screen, or a cockpit view of parting heavens.” “The 45-minute film should emerge as one of Imax’s higher flyers….” “Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag a state of the art experience that thrusts the viewer into the cockpit of an F-15 Eagle fighter plane during rigorous maneuvers.” The rush is palpable, and you will feel it, too.” Times Community Newspapers, Northern Virginia “Behind the control panel, you can feel the sun on your face and watch the earth recede in the distance. “I’m not one of those people who grew up dreaming about flying, but the new IMAX flight film, Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag, made me want to take to the sky.” “…the stunning aerobatics will blow you away, while the close-ups enhance the sense of intimacy and urgency. With every shot that features an F-15 thundering across the Nevada desert, the new IMAX movie Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag delivers excitement.” “It’s hard for a film to go wrong when the stars of the show are dozens of fighter jets in all their roaring, screaming glory. “Red Flag flies as a tribute to these heroic folks and provides a rare supersize peek at the teamwork and dangers involved in flight training. Indeed, it often adroitly enhances them.” “Fighter Pilot is never shy about exploiting the prodigiously magnified audiovisual resources of Imax films. Five minutes into Fighter Pilot, your stomach will be doing the rumba when an F-15 Eagle zooms straight up into the sky (the land beneath going, going, gone) and then. “You can forget about all those old-school Imax tricks here. “Exhilarating….the film succeeds in making pilots of us all.” Winner, Best of Festival, LFCA 2005 (Large Format Cinema Association)
