Yeah, but I wasn't impressed by the video... The music didn't align with the video very well, and the image quality wasn't that great. I realize that it's pretty difficult to get good footage of a target being destroyed by one (just think how much the test targets cost!), but I guess the movies have spoiled me with their special effects...

I did particularly enjoy seeing that burning fuselage fall through the sky, though.

The simple fact that you can take a missle that is designed for Air to Air combat and retrofit it to a land-based, high-mobility platform is spectacular. The reason you don't get good footage is because the missle doesn't have a camera. I didn't actually listen to the music, but the video was done almost as well as could be done under the circumstances. I thought it interesting that they were using both the AIM-120A and AIM-120C models (defined by the different color nosecaps (gray is 120A and white is 120C)). The missles actually integrate and perform differently with hardware targeting systems. They must have one hell of a conversion program running in that radar linking system.

I enjoyed watching the flaming wreck fall from the sky as well.

No doubt!

Those are some wicked long-range shots, pretty accurate.

Thought the shot of the missle going THRU the plane instead of detonating in the plane was kinda funny....
