FIGHTER PILOT: OPERATION RED FLAG FIGHTER PILOT: OPERATION RED FLAG offers aerial sequences never before seen on an IMAX Screen. The film follows Captain John Stratton in his F-15 Eagle as he participates in Red Flag's complex training. At Red Flag, the combat training exercise for air forces of the U.S. and allied countries, the world's best pilots meet for the most challenging flying of their careers. As Captain Stratton fights through these dangerous exercises, he notices team members who were not in his childhood vision of heroism; the support team and other pilots who are crucial to a successful mission, and a safe return home. FIGHTER PILOT offers a view into a world not many have seen, a behind-the- scenes look into what it takes to put together a modern air force mission. SHARKS 3D Presented by Jean-Michael Cousteau, SHARKS 3D is a breathtaking new three- dimensional film experience that offers audiences an astonishing up-close encounter with the Lions and Tigers of the Ocean. Come face-to-face with a multitude of shark species, including the Great White, Hammerhead and Whale Shark. Witness them as they really are: not wicked man-eating creatures, but wild, fascinating and endangered animals that have been in existence a million years before the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Join the expert team of ocean explorers that brought you OCEAN WONDERLAND 3D on this unique round-the-globe expedition documenting the life of the ultimate predator. NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience The groundbreaking IMAX 3D film NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience, thrusts moviegoers and NASCAR fans into the driver's seat to experience the heart- pounding thrills of stock cars racing at breakneck speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Captured through eye-popping IMAX 3D technology and presented on IMAX screens towering up to eight stories high, with 12,000 watts of pure digital surround sound rendering the thundering engines and the roar of the crowds, the film is a visceral journey inside America's most popular spectator sport.
