"I don't have friends, I got family" -Dom Toretto

“Those who abandon the mission are scum But those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum”

Irony of this is that two f4 phantom 2s did this in Vietnam in order to not be captured and held as POWs

"that would never work again in a million years." "Don't need it to, Brian."

"He's not heavy, he's my brother!"

Lets be honest, we have all tried to be this kind of teammate and ended up killing them on accident.

0:23 Never before could I have imagined what an aircraft carrying another one would look like. Legit, it perfectly depicts a wounded being carried by an ally.

He’s not the hero you deserved, but the hero you needed.

The dude really risked having to pay for his own aircraft crashing just to ensure his buddy doesn’t slam into the ground…MVP here…

we did a little pushing

"I may not be able to carry your burden, Mr. Frodo...But I can carry *you.* C'MON!"

This man , right here , shall receive the medal of honor for being a great pilot.

Imagine the enemy’s reaction: “Yeah, the enemy had a midair colli-… …sion?”

Without the help, I don't think they would have made it to the airfield. Hats off to that teamate

This is True Loyalty and 100x Kindness My Salute to that one...

“Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?” “…no, but I served in a company of heroes”.

“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry YOU” - Samwise Gamgee

To be honest, we all need that teammate in all games

I stood up from my chair to salute...

"I will carry your plane, John." "It's not possible!" "No, it's neccessary!"

The fact he was able to not only match your speed perfectly but also maintain *_EXACT_* same flight path of yours is amazing...

Whoever helped this pilot and if you ever read this, thank you for your service!

Never played War Thunder but that was one of the most beautiful moments I've seen in all of gaming.

I remember two guys did this for me when I was in my crippled B-17, they got their wings under mine and practically carried me back to base. All my engines where smoking and it was the single greatest thing I had ever seen

He carried him over his shoulder like a marine.

That move was based on an actual event. During the Vietnam conflict, 2 F-4's were returning from a sortie when one was critically low on fuel. The pilot of the low fuel aircraft was directed to drop his tail hook, and the other pilot flew their aircraft up to the tailhook, using the windscreen to push the aircraft into safety.

To whoever was in that other plane, you deserve all of your hopes and dreams to become a reality

This actually happened in the Korean War. Robbie Risner pushed his wingman's damaged F-86 for 60 miles to keep him out of enemy hands.

if only there were more teammates like these.. fantastic showcase of will and skill

I’m the Vietnam war, 2 F4s were flying when they were both hit, one of them started leaking fuel and ran out shortly thereafter. The second Phantom got behind the first one and ordered the #1 pilot to lower his carrier landing hook which the second pilot placed in the middle of his windscreen and proceeded to push his buddy almost 100 miles before bailing out in safe territory. Sort of related in terms of a plane flying on top of another, in WW2, a formation of B17s were going to bomb German targets when one was hit and starting pulling up, lodging itself in the belly of another B17. Amazingly, the pilots of the top plane were able to coerce the aircraft(s)? back to Germany where they made a crash landing and both pilots of the top plane survived. War is random as hell.

This really happened in Vietnam once involving two F-4 Phantoms

When your skill is high. (No skill issues for today.)

An event very similar to this actually happened in Vietnam. The event was known as "Pardo's Push" where Captain John Pardo used his F4 Phantom to push his wingman's badly damaged aircraft, flown by Captain Earl Aman, 88 miles toward Laos. Pardo had his wingman lower his tail hook and he pushed the other F4 by lodging the tail hook on his canopy until one of his own engines caught fire and he ran out of fuel. Both pilots had to eject and they managed to evade capture before being rescued by helicopter. They were both eventually awarded the Silver Star.

This went completely opposite of how I imagined it would go from the thumbnail.

That one guy who unflips your tank:

That's the most courageous act of simulated bravery I've ever witnessed. You sir, have my simulated respect.

He literally carried you that game. For real, though, what a legend, getting you stabilized enough to the point where he knew you could then touch down safely!

im glad i started my day off with this

I WATCHED THIS VIDEO FROM SO LONG AGO AND ONLY NOW IVE REALIZED YOU POSTED THIS! I know im very late but it justs shocking on how it took me so long to find this video.

You could say he “carried the team”

This man did not carry his teammate. He carried the entire game by one action. The Pilot we do not deserve but the Pilot we need. We salute you

It's said he is still helping pilots to this day. SALUTE ❤

Nothing more magical when 2 brothers touch tips

The F-4 Phantom is proof that with a big enough engine, anything can fly.

When the world needed him the most he appeared give this guy a medal of honor! 🎖

That's the equivalent of infantry soldiers picking up their wounded brethren getting them to safety

If this was in real life, that guy deserves a Medal of Honor!

I have poured thousands of hours into this game and I have never witnessed anything like this. Thank you for sharing

They are only a few, but they will help all teammates on their side. WT is a game and at first you should have fun playing the game. Teammates like this secure the fun. Helping others, fight together, share every victory and defeat. THAT is the spirit.

Bro recreated that one event in the vietnam war with the correct plane (F4 Phantom).

Brother probably being punished for "misusing" his F4.

Even though I don't know this person's name, their actions and dedication will never be forgotten. I salute you.

When the enemy saw this, the enemies were like: "Sir, should we start shooting?" "No, let them be..."

Now that's what i call a "Wingman"

These are the type of people you award medals to.

Good team work

Truly Wholesome

This is honestly just amazing. Too bad that 99.8% of all players playing War Thunder will never see teamwork like this in their matchmaking.

If you watch closely, you could see how close they were to fucking up their aircraft. And you could even tell how that Phantom 4 was seriously hauling ass trying to get his friend out of that situation dude. Respect.

This man is a comrade 🎖️🖖

_This isn't flying! This is falling.. with style!_

Respect to the game for not just instantly detonating on impact

If I'm not mistaken there was a true ocurance extremely similar to this, I believe even with roughly the same models of air craft.

Pardo's Push was a real thing that happened in the Vietnam war.

Rumor has it the enemy team immediately surrendered, emotionally awestruck from such a display and determination.

"Anakin, you're not helping!" "You're right, Master, bad idea"

A true brother in arm 🪖

"I got you, brother!"

What a hero. I wish more teammates played like this. Truly makes the game *way* more enjoyable than just "getting kills". Anyone can get a kill, but it takes real skill and heart to do something like this with little to no communication or planning.

Why tf am I getting emotional at work.

Soundtrack had perfect timing

If there is a teammates heaven, this guy has a réservé there I can watch this 1000 times and it still won't stop being amazing

can we all just take a moment and appreciate the best teammate who risked his life for someone else's?

U earned a sub

absolute G of a squadmate

In the Vietnam War Two F4s had been on patrol, one has an issue. Like fuel or broken engines I forgot The broken one used its carrier hook to be pushed by the other F4. The pushing F4s window was fucked but they both made it Edit:Thank you everyone for having a good discussion about the story in the reply section.

The push was very minimal but likely helped a ton with the distance, increasing the glide distance just enough to make it to the airfield bounds

😢to be honestly, when i see this i just wanna cry,what a best teammate ever

Now that’s a top gun move there

That aside can we appreciate how skillful that pilot is without damaging both planes

The fact he wasn't even a medic makes this man even more respectable, We salute you, Brave pilot!🙌

Try's to help...kills us all trying. lol

This is me in fps games as if team keeps dying ill have enough confidence to ti try to push thinking I can change things around.

Whoever that was actually knows their history. It was called “Pardos push” and involved a mortally wounded F-4 in Vietnam. He dropped his arresting hook and another F-4 used his jet to push long enough that the stricken crew could eject in safer area.

This better be on Thundershow

This has restored my faith in humanity.

Man moments of teamwork like these really make this game amazing, the best experience I've had in War Thunder was when I was fairly new to the game playing as a bomber, I got attacked by a couple fighters that I couldn't fend off. In comes maybe 4 teammates who shoot them down and escort my barely airborne bomber back to the base.

It's been a long time since I've even played WT. In all the shenanigans that my previous squadrons tried to pull off I have never seen two aircraft touch no matter how gentle without having something just fall off and both crash. Must have been an update

Yall should look up the "Pardo push" from Vietnam. An f4 pilot used his aircraft to push another damaged f4 back to safety to avoid the pilot becoming a pow.

This actually happened with two F-4 Phantoms but the F-4 Phantom that was getting pushed its engine died and the tail dragger for the Aircraft Carrier Landing was pressured against the cockpit and the other one's talked at nearly exploded because of the force and it actually fluid for like an extra Sperry long distance to get out of I believe North Vietnam in the South Vietnam when it was safe

"This first rule of war is to trust your brothers in need" - Sun Tzu , the art of war

I've never played this game before, but this brought a tear to my eye.

"You know if you mess this up we both go down, right?" "Then I guess you better keep her steady so I don't mess this up."

Not all heroes wear capes.

If you were able to get a Medal of Honor in games, this man would totally be a candidate for it. Salute to this fellow phantom pilot.

I never played this game but i have to admit this was a pretty good looking play and obviously isn't easy.
