Don't Screw with the IAF

(Yes, it's a commercial.)

1 Given that the commercial is from Electronic Arts, I wonder if its a computer game.. an air combat flight sim highlighting IAF. Interesting timing..

Nice vid tho!

2 Warmongering Jews! (My tongue is firmly tucked into my cheek)I doubt many of Isreal's neighbors will be buying a copy of this one. Unless they want to learn from Israeli strategy. I wonder if the PLO is going to come out with a game about Munich?

3 Just checked EA's website.. nothing came up on an IAF or Israel game searchl. oh well.

4 The copyright notice at the end says "(c) 1998".

Might be a good time for a re-release.

I remember back during Desert Storm, when you could sell a dried dog turd for 10 bucks with the appropriate marketing (e.g., "pre-processed MRE").

5 IAF kicks a lot of ass. But the PAF is better, but if only they had the kind of support from the US as Israel has.

6 So, in other words, the Paki Air Force is worse, then?

7 Don't get him started...

A friend of a friend told him a story once and now they're looking to cast the PAF version of Top Gun.

That and they shot down some Iranians in the 70's - BFD!

9 Yeah Barney,

Somehow, Some Dude is stuck with the idea that PAF is the best of the best, according to a testimony from a PAF pilot who went on a training run against some ill-equiped Iranians...

And by the way, IAF was a flight sim produced by EA a couple of years ago. It was one of the first to incorporate sat mapping tech.

10 That was totally sweet! Aw man, that made my day! ^________^!

11 Good game back in the day. You can probably find a copy online somewhere. EA no longer supports it, IIRC. It was kinda the last gasp of the "Jane's" series with the equipment they had from that run.

17 Israel built the LAVI jet fighter to replace the F-16 but then scrapped it:
