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.

IRIAF definitely one of the most slept on air forces in history. Ridiculously effective, especially considering they were up against a power that could draw from all the major powers for replacement ordinance and spare parts while Iran had to make every missile and cannon round count.

I remember training the pilots and ground crews during this time. I found that they were very professional and articulate. I'm currently 75 years old and spent 15 years in the AF working on the F4 C,D, and E models from 70 to 85. Loved the F4 and started teaching ground maintenance on them in about 1979. We did a lot of declassify work and such on the aircraft prior to handing them over. Taught their pilots and ground crews what they needed to know to keep the birds flying in good shape. It's been so long ago I can't remember the base I was on at that time, was moved around a lot in 15 years, but think it was at Homestead AFB. in Florida.

I attended air shows back in the day at which the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels were flying Phantoms. The noise was half the thrill. When I next saw the Angels flying the follow-on aircraft (the Skyhawk II), i remember being disappointed by the noise, or rather the lack thereof. (Just saw the Thunderbirds over Tacoma two weekends ago. Gotta love the F-16, but, ironically, they also lack the Phantom's thunder.)

This is unrelated to this video but I always found it weird how you were able to make the F-16 work so well but then I went to a dogfight server and it absolutely sucked, never seemed to outrate anything even though I held consistent 400-430, and everyone told me that the F-16 sucks. In some recent videos I was able to notice certain things you did differently and applied them yesterday. The result was a series of such prolonged and intense fights against an F/A-18 that it broke my joystick and now I can't capitalize on my newfound insight until the spare part arrives. Still, prior to that I would never have been able to touch that Hornet but now I killed him a few times. Feels good.

@GrowlingSidewinder Жыл бұрын

Ya people love to blame the aircraft and don’t really see themselves as the problem lol. That being said the DCS hornet is over preforming in the 2 circle fight. So also keep that in mind. When fighting the hornet IF u can stay locked in at 430 knots you might beat him based only on pilot skill. Hopefully ED can address/fix the hornet 2 circle performance at some point.

The F-4 was a jet that was made to be an all weather intercepter, and became a fighter, a bomber, a spy plane, acrobatics demonstrator, and can SEAD. A jack of all trades if I ever saw one. The opening years of the Vietnam War showed how important Top Gun and Red Flag were to train F-4 crews on how to play to its strengths, and exploit its enemy's weaknesses. Not to mention it had the only supersonic gun kill ever recorded, and flew as a Blue Angel, and a Thunderbird. Plus its just mean looking. To say that I am excited for the Heatblur F-4 would be an understatement lol. Until then the F-4 mod, although basic, is very well done.
