Overall, most of it appears to be shot in Scotland in what the RAF calls "Moon-Country." I asked--"Because it has the same population density as the moon, and even if you pi$$ someone off for low-flying and noise, it will take them a week to find a telephone to complain to the MOD."

What could be better than watching Rhinos (trademark!) flying low and fast, with Joe Satriani for a soundtrack?

Here's a link for another "F-4" video:

Those at the start of the video I thought might have been Dutch and I thought I saw what looked like the German markings on one of the echelon shots - but I don't know enough about them to talk about squared off vertical fins so I'll default to you!

I've heard of that area in Scotland from our Jag and Tornado exchange pilots. Even near Death Valley I don't get to go THAT low

Thanks for the other links!
