F-16 Evasive Action Against SAMs-Desert Storm 1991 (2:27)

Thats some of the most horrifying footage I've every seen. I can say it doesn't look fake at all, and when he starts pulling those heavy Gs the camera starts to go crappy. I saw at 1:45 the com trail, if this is fake the recorders of the audio did a helluva good job. Its rare for pilots to go O sh*t on the com channel. They really needed low and slows inbound on that SAM site, our a counter air strike. I actually felt the hair on the back of my neck go up, because to me it didn't look or sound fake at all.

I agree its pretty frightening. It would be the equivalent of a person being chased by a pack of pitbulls. This is probably the most terrifying thing a fighter pilot would experience.

@Krupo: not that I know anything about the subject first hand, but it seems to me that pilots, even in "the shit" rarely make comments like that, in that kind of a frightened tone, over comm. It definitely sounded scared / scary as hell to me. Contrast with the pilot's coolness at the end of this video.
