• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Just over 30 years after the U.S. Air Force officially shuttered the super-secret 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron, or Red Eagles, and its fleet of Russian MiGs, the service has released a little film about the unit's activities, also known as Project Constant Peg. It's short, but it's still full of interviews with pilots and ground crews about their work, as well as images and video of the squadron's unique fleet of foreign planes. It offers additional insight into the world of U.S. military units charged with what is known as or FME, a service that the latest incarnation of the Red Eagles continues to provide to this day

Hear the declassified story of a secret U.S. AirForce Squadron that trained with real enemy aircraft for nearly 10 years!

"Sierra Hotel!!" Thanks for Sharing. For those of you who don't know, Colonel Gail Peck, who was featured in the video has a book about his days as a Young Fighter Pilot during the Vietnam war. "Sherman Lead" is an excellent read. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of the Air War over Vietnam.
