Jet fighter combat transcript

I expected the interest for this to be minimal, but I figured to post it anyway just in case. Funny thing is that I recognize it from the Falcon 4.0 main menu music,

Shootdown !!!


Anyway, real radio recording of the '89 Sidra incident, where two USN F-14's shot down two Libyan MiG-23's.

I love how over time the voices get erratic and stressed - you also have trouble understanding what they're saying.

Cool stuff. I never heard air fight transcriptions, you only see videos, but rarely the strategics and team work between fighters.

Yeah. Apparently the lead RIO surprised his pilot with the first missile. You hear him call it, Fox 1 Fox 1, then the other guy goes "Aw, Jesus". lol
