Have you ever seen the scenes from the largest Red Flag exercise of the U.S. Air Force? Do you know how fighter jets refuel in the air during the Red Flag exercises? How do fighter pilots from various countries rescue their comrades? And how is the simulated bombing plan executed during the Red Flag exercises? You can find the answers in the newly released IMAX film "Flying Warriors: Red Flag Exercise"! **The most realistic simulation exercise, the Red Flag exercise, is the world's first large-scale integrated air combat simulation exercise, and it is also the most renowned and respected simulation exercise, considered the most realistic by the pilots who have participated in it. The Red Flag exercise was established in 1975 by the U.S. Air Force to enhance its pilots' air combat skills, as the Vietnam War showed that most battle losses were incurred by inexperienced pilots within their first few missions. Under the pressure of combat, they had no way to receive targeted training on how to survive in air combat. This concept was proposed by Colonel Richard Suter and implemented by General Robert Dixon. In the extremely realistic training environment of the Red Flag exercise, rookie pilots gradually learn the ways of survival on the battlefield. The Red Flag exercises are held four times a year at Nellis Air Force Base, conducted once each season. Each Red Flag exercise is divided into several two-week training periods. Air combat for the Red Flag exercises takes place in training airspace in Nevada, where pilots training from various places are assembled into "Blue Forces" to simulate air-to-air, air-to-ground, and electronic warfare against the "Red Forces." The difficulty of the subjects increases as the exercise progresses, allowing participating pilots to build their skills day by day. The debriefing sessions after daily missions further help pilots understand what they have learned each day, and by the time pilots leave the Red Flag exercise, except for not having experienced the dangers of actual combat, they have become seasoned air combat veterans. Another achievement of the Red Flag exercise is its fixed schedule over 27 years. While many routine exercises in the U.S. have been canceled due to budget constraints, the U.S. Aerospace Command (AEF) believes the Red Flag exercise is more valuable than ever after various assessments. The main purpose of the Red Flag exercise is to maintain the combat readiness of the U.S. Air Force, especially so that after completing their training, pilots can apply what they learned during the Red Flag exercises to their regular training, which significantly enhances their combat capability. Some Red Flag exercises are only open to U.S. military forces, so some special subjects are integrated into general training subjects. Foreign pilots invited to participate in the Red Flag exercises engage in mixed aerial combat (COMAO) missions with the U.S. military, enabling them to learn from each other’s combat experiences. **The IMAX film presenting real flying is both an interest and a legacy. "Flying Warriors: Red Flag Exercise" pulls on the admiration and nostalgia of fighter pilot John Stratton for his grandfather, depicting the love and obsession for flight passed down through generations. From a pilot's perspective, it comprehensively showcases the entire process of the Red Flag exercise, including aerial dogfighting, ground attacks, air refueling, early warning commanding, ground maintenance, electronic jamming, personnel rescue, and various other scenes, making it a high-quality IMAX film. Most of the film is shot over the desert in Nevada, including impressive imagery of simulated air combat, live-fire exercises, bomb assembly and suspension, rescue operations for downed airmen, and refueling in air. 128 high-performance aircraft from six countries participate through the Red Flag exercise, illustrating the superb flying skills of fighter pilots and the high-tech capabilities of the aircraft. For example, B1 and B2 bombers, F15 Eagles, F16 Fighting Falcons, AH-60S Apache attack helicopters, A10 Thunderbolts, U2 reconnaissance planes, AWACS, KC-10 air refueling tankers, C130 transport planes, C17 heavy lift transporters, C17 Globemaster transporters, F18 Hornets, British Harrier jump jets, German GR7 and Tornado jets, create a vivid representation of live-fire drills and bombing missions. The film lasts for 45 minutes and is sponsored by Boeing, the U.S. Air Force, and the Canadian government, providing you with a unique and unimaginable thrill experience through an IMAX camera mounted on the fighter jets, allowing you to feel like you're sitting in the cockpit of the world's finest jet, experiencing a flying view at speeds of 900 kilometers per hour, enjoying the colorful orange-red clouds of sunset, and experiencing the fast-paced, moment-to-moment world of pilots. "Flying Warriors: Red Flag Exercise" presents the real conditions of the Red Flag exercises step by step, including all the simulated command flights and shootdowns, the gathering of air forces from various countries participating in simulation drills, the flying of various new models of aircraft, and the very dangerous air refueling tasks for pilots. Through these images, audiences gain a better understanding of the exercises undertaken by air force pilots in defending national security, and they experience the horrors of war, leading them to cherish peace even more.
