I've always liked the movies you've produced, however, this feels a little displaced. I think it would be great for a cut scene like you said.
If I may offer a few opinions: the movie definately needs different music, essentially the scene is a mugging of a mig-25 right? or is supposed to feel that way, so perhaps some dark/brooding music may work or even something similar to the score for the rock ( definately not the same because it has been used to death), that kinda feel anyway, maybe.
From my interpretation (ie mugging type thing) perhaps some more intro footage and emphasis could be placed on the aggressors. Mostly to balance the peacefull scenes for the taxiing shots.
Finally, the take-off scene for the mig was brilliant!Great work like always,
Keep it up.
