Can you imagine traveling back in time and telling all the American pilots that were training at Williams Field during WWII to fly and fight against Nazi Germany that someday, Luftwaffe pilots would be trained by the US Air Force and would fly in and out of that same airfield they were training on?  Mindblowing if you think about it.

You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.

The first time I saw an Antenov at Nellis and shots of MiGs at Red Flag (Indian Navy IIRC), I thought nearly the exact same thing about Russians...

Two not-so-common things going on here that I dig - full serial presented on the tail, and taxiing with the canopies closed.  They're typically open by the time they pull onto the ramp.  Red Bull's C-model at Willie:
