THE AMAZING VIDEO SHOT BY F-15 FIGHTER PILOTS
THE AMAZING VIDEO SHOT BY F-15 FIGHTER PILOTS USING GOPRO CAMERAS THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVEN’T SEEN
UPDATE: Links are fixed.
For a year, F-15 fighter pilots used mountable GoPro Hero cameras to capture footage that was compiled in a video to commemorate the 67th Fighter Squadron winning the 2011 Raytheon Trophy for outstanding aerial achievement.
After viewing the nearly 10-minute film, we have to ask: How have we not seen this yet?
The “2012 Raytheon Award Video” was posted on Vimeo and YouTube in April and wasn’t really been picked up aside from some aerial and defense blogs and websites at the time. LiveLeakposted the video over the weekend, and Business Insider picked it up from there, writing that it rarely posts videos this long but “this one is an exception.”
Edited and uploaded by the user going by “Jersey,” he describes the award the squadron was honored with as the being “given to the top air-to-air squadron in the USAF.” The video itself was shot entirely by the pilots, spanning a year of flying. Jersey is sure to note that not one combat camera personnel was involved in its production.

It’s a great video, except for the music. I had to turn the sound down because I just didn’t like the music. And that forced me to miss all of the pilot chatter. They should have a copy without the music.

I have lots of parts on F 15′s.
I love to see my tax dollars at work that way.

Great video. Just cause I’m a bit of a nostalgic I would have like to have heard them weave “Danger Zone” from Top Gun in there for a minute.

The video is INCREDIBLE… the hack flogging “Bad Company,” not so much…
