Footage of US Navy Shootdown of Libyan Mig-23's released

[mikmykWS]

Impressive previously unreleased footage shows how two F-14 Tomcats shot down two Gaddafi’s MiG-23s

Pretty good for the era this was recorded.

Great find, noticed the rapid change in breathing when the Migs were 35 miles out and switching to warning yellow weapons hold at about the 4:42 mark. Pretty intense stuff.

I think that this footage was available already, but good video anyway.

Some parts of the audio footage from that video were actually used for theme/background music of Falcon 4.0 (1998).

If you listen to the voices, they're there: Falcon 4 theme song

Didn't know that. Very cool

Same music with these voices in BMS too, though for Falcon 4 Allied Force the music is different.

Wish they had gotten more footage, but even the 15 seconds or so that we see the MiG is more than enough for a Tomcat fanboy like me [:)]
