Every so often, a truly unique project comes along with a story worth telling—this one was no exception. To celebrate Draken International’s 10-year anniversary, a 20-minute documentary was produced and premiered in Las Vegas in the spring of 2019.

Draken International provides tactical fighter aircraft for contract air services to military and defense clients. They’re essentially the modern-day “Top Gun,” playing the role of the “adversaries” in training exercises with U.S. and allied forces.

Production took place over several days at multiple locations, including Draken’s headquarters at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Florida, Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, and Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania. Once the primary footage was complete, the flight crew was interviewed inside a hangar to capture their perspectives and experiences. Along the way, there was no shortage of incredible aircraft, impressive technology, and outstanding people.

The finished film quickly became the most-watched project to date, earning more than 160,000 views and continuing to reach aviation and defense enthusiasts around the world.
