On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

A very long time ago, I worked at Hughes Aircraft in Tucson. Among one of the many systems we made (mostly missiles - AIM54C, Roland, Tow2, the *original* AMRAAM, Mavericks), we also made ARBS - the Angle Rate Bombing System that was installed in the Harrier. The only US unit to operate the Harrier was the USMC, and the mission was all about close air support for the Marines on the ground. These Marine pilots took their jobs *very* seriously. Well, along about 1983, Hughes was having some production issues with ARBS, and it was seriously pissing off a Marine general. So, he had one of his pilots fly a Harrier to the Hughes parking lot for a motivational speech. He gave his little intro then popped open the front end of the Harrier to show a concrete block in place of ARBS. He pointedly mentioned the concrete block did not help him in his mission. We had a little more zing after that.

The gun on the harrier cannot be shot while nozzles rolled because it uses bleed air from the engine to actuate the gun. While nozzles are rolled bleed air goes to the RCS shutters for hovering Mobility. There just isn’t enough bleed air from the engine to feed both the systems which is why you get one or the other. 👌🏼👌🏼 (VMA-231 mechanic)

This is a very abnormal fight (DCS). There are alot of lessons to be learned from the Tomcat perspective. First, try to know what your fighting. That dictates how you enter the merge and then how to push the fight you want to have using the advantages afforded you. Second, be aggressive: this Tomcat had many advantages in the vertical space to keep the Harrier nose high which takes away his pitch potential. Bit frustrating to watch.

Hello GS, when I was a kid in 1980 my parents bought me the Encyclopedia of World Air Power. It was an illustrated hardcover book beautifully presented with an F-14 on the cover. I loved that book and wore out the binding. The color illustrations were amazing and I cherished that book. Your videos bring that book to life and I appreciate your content.

The A in AV-8B stands for Attacker, just like it does for the A-10, so yes. It is placed between the A-7 and the YA-9 in the attacker numbering line. With the AV-8B + variant, the Harrier's DMT gets replaced by a radar, giving it a better fighting chance in dogfights, but we have the NA (Night Attack) variant in DCS, not the + (RAZBAM pls)

The "wires" you mention are actually called MDC (miniature detonator cord) and it's inclusion in all RAF fast jets is why protocol for RAF pilots is to put clear visor down every flight. The most common injury during ejection is called MDC Splatter, when the explosion of the canopy creates "perspex" shrapnel that has a propensity to fly back into the crew's faces, blinding them. Goose wouldn't have died if they'd had MDC on their canopy!

Round 3 is definitely a win for you.The way the Tomcat was maneuvering to get the shot also put it on a collision course. A different trajectory would have meant a miss when going for the shot. This reminded me of that video not to long ago, where it was 1 to 1 (you were in the MIG 29, I think) and your missile caught up to the other guy after you were hit. Since he was too low to eject, that was still a win for you.
