Nice!

Are they shooting at un-manned F-4's? Are they remote controlled.. or?

:lol: this still goes around. You may thank me for releasing this video back then :lol:

They're shooting down QF-4B drones over the Pacific Ocean. The 123FS was at Miramar during this trip playing games against the Marines stationed there. My father is a crew chief for the 142FW.

The original name for this video was Oregon.mpeg instead of 123_FS_Archer_Video However I don't understand the 'archer' part of it. The 123FS is the Redhawks.

One of the planes used this in this video is #89 and it is the oldest F-15 in the Air Force inventory. It was originally used as a test bed for alot of experimental military technology and they flew it until it broke. The 142FW got their hands on it back in the early 90's and repaired it back to flight-ready status. Ever since then, it's been flying on alert duty for the Pacific NW and used around the world in forward deployment such as Turkey, Iceland, Saudi Arabia, etc.
