So how did they get the POV air shots?
IMAX cam in a custom hard-point pod?
Custom rig in the back seat of a 2-seater?
(IMAX cameras are not small, due to the huge
65mm negative format.)
Got to see them fly overhead whilst filming! It was a small AF jet, (C-21?) flying in and around the formation doing the filming.
BTW not all the filming was in Nevada. Some was filmed over Southern Idaho at the Saylor Creek Range. At least thats where I saw 'em.
