In Operation Desert storm, the F-15 Eagle upheld its reputation as a 'super fighter' and the Stealth F-117 Nighthawk put and end to worries that it was a high-priced failure. First flown in 1972, McDonnell Douglas's F-15 surpassed the Soviets' MiG 25 as the fastest, most maneuverable fighter in the world. During the air war over Iraq, they proved their worth with their ability to fly effectively at night and in adverse weather conditions and to strike targets with pinpoint accuracy. They intercepted enemy aircraft but also safeguarded friendly ones, dropping in total 11 million pounds of ordnance. After years of top secrecy, two well-publicised F-117 crashes led many to wonder if the plane's $52 million price tag was worth it. During Operation Desert Storm, they were consistently assigned the most dangerous targets. Their success was due to their stealth technology which gave the element of surprise. Forty-two F-117s flew sorties over the flak-filled skies of Baghdad and demolished the Iraqi command and control network. Not only did every F-117 comeback but none of them bore so much as a stretch. Experience from inside the bombing runs and air-to-air engagement in this enthralling DVD.
