I feel the need... the need for speed!

This is by far the best F-15 video you have ever seen: aerial combat with 2011′s top air-to-air squadron in the USAF.



“The footage was shot over 1 year of flying with a Sony HD Handycam and GOPRO Hero. The video was edited with Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD over 2 weeks by Jersey. Footage includes flying and aircraft from both the 67FS “Fighting Cocks” and the 44FS “Vampire Bats”, entirely on location at Kadena AB, Japan. Most of the over water footage was filmed while we were raging like demons from hell in the skies over the pacific ocean like our brothers did 70 years before us.”
