The Warzone/The Drive: Watch This Crazy Video Of An A-4 Running For Its Life At Low-Level From A Menacing F-22
It's like a frantic life-or-death scene out of the documentary Planet Earth.
Once in a while we are be blessed with an awesome video or picture taken from the Nellis Range Complex. Sometimes it is of secretive aircraft undergoing testing, or a B-1B screaming through the mountainous terrain at low level. But in this case it's something really special—watch the world's most capable fighter run down a diminutive A-4 Skyhawk as it turns and burns at very low-level in an attempt to save itself from seemingly certain death.
This video may look like a "found footage" reel from Top Gun, but it also has a real wildlife documentary feel to it. These jets could just as well be a sparrow and a falcon, a mongoose and a viper, or a cheetah and a zebra, going about their life and death business in the animal kingdom. It's candid and ultra aggressive and intoxicatingly exciting. The second that A-4 breaks the ridge, it really is a real-world holy shit moment.

WNU Editor: My only beef with the above video is that it is too short.
