Thats just for an exercise they are probably using the actors to help with the scenario it probably has little to do with the pilots and is more for the FACs on the ground. Its also practice before deployment final tests etc.

But this is not yet Afghanistan - it's the Nevada desert and an exercise called Green Flag West. The strange sights of the Las Vegas skyline lie in the distance with mock pyramids and Eiffel Towers providing the backdrop for the runway at Nellis Air Force base.
This exercise was the final chance for the Typhoon to go through its paces before it was declared ready for combat.[/quote]
