Gosh! I haven't seen this video for over 20 years. If I recall correctly, wasn't Phil Collins a little miffed about his soundtrack being used? Or is this an Urban Myth? Also great to see a few people I have worked with in MB years later, in their youth, so to speak.
On a more serious note, this video en passant demonstrates how the nature of conflict has changed over the last two decades. Today, we would not dream putting together a video of ops over, say, Iraq, that identified the crews, showed their faces and casually described many aspects of the mission profile. The moment something like this is made, it is shared instantly around the world and could be exploited by any number of hostile groups and individuals, as well as FIS. Our aircrews are now, largely, anonymous, visor-down, back to the camera entities: increasingly de-linking the human dimension from the Western way of delivering air power.
