I will do Peter. Cheers.

ya the f22 part was cool...just how excited he got saying the ease of locking up f15s and 16s and them being clueless on where he was....very cool

Cheers :)

I thoroughly enjoyed his interview. Would be great to get Hwang and Wright too, they must have some crazy stories aswell, but it will be hard matching Dozer for the experience - F-22 was a cherry on top.

Cheers Dustin! I am hoping to get him on again to chat more about the Raptor.

Aircrew Interview Oh man that would be great!

LOL

Keep in mind the F-15 and other supersonic fighters like to break through the transonic region of .8 to 1.2 Mach, where supersonic wave drag is harsh on fuel efficiency with most designs. Especially F-15Cs flown in standard 2-tank configuration, they need to punch through Mach and get to 1.2 and greater to extend away from the fight. They don't cruise at Mach 1, so the fact that the F-22s had Mach 1 of closure is scary.

Hear, hear.

Great to hear we “hit the nail on the head” for you on this one buddy.

Thanks Asad. Nice to know we have some viewers over in Pakistan.

What types has he flown?

Raider 21 if you could email me at aircrewinterview@gmail.com to chat further buddy as I am interested buddy.

The F-16 and the MiG-17/19 would be a great interview.

Cheers!

Shows air superiority.

@@chuckgibbs5960 I've heard senior fighter weapons school pilots say that a higher exchange ratio is air superiority where they quickly eliminate threat air from challenging strike and cargo aircraft, rotary wing, etc. F-22 brings in Air Dominance where from the start, there isn't much you can do to challenge them, while they can pick you off at will. F-22As had conducted 587 intercepts over Syria as of 2018, where the threat aircraft never saw them. Had it been 4th Gen fighters, there would have likely been many skirmishes that would have escalated to weapons release and losses for the Syrian AF like the Super Hornet vs Su-22 incident. Instead, we have a merciful air dominator posture that doesn't need to shoot them down, since they can be contacted over Guard frequency and told to go away or be fired upon. This has happened so many times, it would surprise people, but since the USAF likes to keep its cards close to the vest, it says practically nothing about it. I can only imagine the threat briefings and ready room discussions in the Syrian and Russian Air Forces.

It's funny because... Su-35s pick raptors via IRST from 100km routinely

@@user-qn3xu5ee3t Nyet. Su-35’s OLS-35 can barely detect a standard fighter-sized TGT from frontal aspect at 35km, 90km rear aspect. That’s for a fighter with no IR stealth systems. The French Rafale with far superior optics and electronics can barely make out the F-22A within visual range on its dual-band OSF IRST/TV optical search/track/ID system. No sensors on the Su-35S are capable of detecting the F-22 at any useful distances, not in RF or IR spectrums. That was the whole point of VLO in the ATF program. We tested various systems on instrumented range complexes and already had a ton of experience with RF and IR signature reduction from several previous stealth programs.

Those are not my words. That was said by a su-35 Pilot who conducted caps in syria

Iron Eagle 2....''this shirt used to belong to Arnold Schwarzenegger comrade..''

Iron Eagle is an awesome movie. It's not like Top Gun, but not inferior in any way...

@@robertorolfo There is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much wrong with Iron Eagle... I don't even know where to start!

@@ShayneJenkins Well, pick a few things. Seriously, what is wrong with that movie? It's brilliant in just about every way. Casual Queen song in the soundtrack? Check. Motorcycle racing a plane? Check. Twisted Sister in the soundtrack? Check. 2 F-16's beating half the world? Check. I think you are just worried that Doug Masters and Chappie Sinclair versus Iceman and Maverick might be a tough showdown.

AZ, you were in the 550 AMU Silver Eagles?

Thanks :)

Cheers mate.

Thanks Brian!

I agree Brian, this channel has swiftly become what is in my opinion the best aviation related YT channel available. I've run out of superlatives, and every friend without exception I introduce to this place, invariably begins stumping it to their friends in turn. I'm hoping this channel hits 100k in the next year, it certainly deserves it.

Thank you very much for your kind words and supporting the channel. I really hope we get to 100k subs at some point too!

Cheers Chris

Cheers Iain. Great to hear you enjoyed it.

Very much, this was all kicking off when I was on the Tornado GR1 OCU at Lossiemouth, so I was more than a bit interested in events then, and amazing to hear it from the 'horses mouth' now. Keep up the good work. btw I am very much appreciative that you have not gone down the road of auto-ads popping up, that is V annoying, whereas your own voice giving a quick nod towards the Tomcat models etc does not detract at all from your overall presentation in my opinion.

Iain Bradford Thanks again, Iain. I know what you mean, and obviously our sponsors help us to keep the channel going and I would only want to work with companies that I am a fan of or would purchase from myself, and I hope this comes across to our viewers and that I am not “selling out” as it were!

Trust me, it does not seem like you are selling out. You provide a fantastic set of interviews and you need to make ends meet. That is more than acceptable :-)

Cheers Iain!

Cheers Michael.

Angel King bring the link~ here please !!!

I was looking for it but no luck yet. I'll keep searching.

Those Two Serbian Pilots maybe: Radosavljevic Slobodan Peric

It was Nikolic - there is a documentary about it, goes for like 2hr almost. Its good, quite down to earth. This is part 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ1zgMd8krWZnXU.html Nikolic is from 2:36min or so, that's him.

Hopefully,​ we can get Dozer back on for one, but due to his schedule, we didn't have enough time to cover everything.

Glad you found us!

Thanks very much. It would be great to interview a Serb pilot, I will have to look into that.

I'd love to see that as well! Best wishes to you En Trinit from the USA.

Stay away from serbian pilots please.

I don’t think that English of Serbian pilots is good enough.

Try to get hold of Suad Hamzic, he flew during Yugoslav times both western and eastern planes. Or Dani Zoltan who shot down F117(Not a pilot but an interesting storey non the less) Could need a translator though.

Cheers

I hope you enjoyed it, ​buddy!

Cheers Kevin.

Thanks! I am hoping to get a Denmark Viper pilot sometime this year.

Great that you made that point, and well said. He’s the epitome of the honorable warrior.

Thanks Paul. He certainly lot enjoyed flying t that’s for sure.

Cheers Ben :)

Thanks.

Cheers Simon.

Simmo Real fast talker indeed.

Cheers. It’s a possibility I suppose.

@@Aircrewinterview I would pay anything to watch that

Problem with the 22 is that they really were a ahead of the curve and too expensive because of that. The F-35 is the solution: it's cheap (relatively) and gives the capacity for 4 planes to wipe out an entire enemy airforce without ever showing up on radar. It's all in the sensors, stealth and datalink.

It's not like the US doesn't have a lot of F-22's, it's just that the US military needed more because it's mission is global! The US Air Force has more F-22's than the UK has Typhoons! But all that doesn't matter now because the US is now getting the F-35 which is just as awesome as the F-22. But instead of only having 190 of them, the US will end up having 2,400 F-35's! That's more than double the total amount of aircraft Russia has in it's entire air force and that's from fighters to transport to trainer aircraft lol.

Cheers.

Ben SMITH because AIM-120 is much more precise and frags in warhead are better prepered.

Thanks Nick. We do publish upcoming interviews in the “Community” tab you will see on the channel, the Facebook Page/group ,Twitter and Patreon. Also our Fox 2 and Fox 3 tiers on Patreon can post questions for each interview and we pick around 2-4 questions (depending on how detailed they are) that make it into the interviews and you can have your name shouted out if wanted.

@@Aircrewinterview Thanks Mike, you're on it! I'll have a look to try to avoid any repetition of such suggestions... 🙈🐴

Thanks Marc!

Swaglife 81 correct

Swaglife 81 >> Yeah, that’s right...it wasn’t the only problem; they flew the same exact route 4 days in a row I believe.

The joint foreign intelligence asset network helping Serbia had spotters near Aviano AB in Italy. That night, they noticed that none of the normal EA-6B EW support aircraft had taken off, and this information was reported to the Serbs, who then knew they could be more aggressive with their search and track radars. The Clinton WH also restricted US forces to a very narrow, predictable corridor for the strike packages to fly through, which was repeated each night. After the F-117s had flown over the particular S-125 site and headed to the target area, a brief glimpse of something gave a radar return, which was allegedly the weapons bay doors, which then disappeared. Dani knew then they were dealing with some type of stealth, and he instructed the radar crews to violate their orders and scan in a lower frequency range. As the strikers turned around and egressed along the same stupid corridor, Dani had his men scan that area in the sky. It wasn't until 13km (7nm) that they got a good return and weapons solution, at which time they salvo-fired 2 missiles. Major Zelko saw the missiles, the first detonation not affecting him much, but the 2nd one was close enough when it proximity-detonated and blew off a wing, forcing him to eject. Since the F-117A didn't have radar warning receivers and countermeasures, it was vulnerable when subjected to repetitive flight profiles. Had that been an F-22A or especially an F-35, it would be a different story. You don't want to be the crew of an S-400 or Pantsir-S1, let alone S-125 with JSF in theater.

I dint' know that serbia is atack us??? When???

In simplest terms the 15 was a modernized 4th gen and the 14 was an older awesome 4th gen. The 15 had newer stuff basically. The proposed Super Tomcat would have gave the 15 a run for it's money

It’s always a possibility that’s for sure.

But...it was a whole 15 years before the Raptor was ready for frontline service after the YF22 flew at Edward's against the YF23

The thing with Skype interviews is it’s hard for me to tell the guest to buy a good mic for the interview (even tho I suggest even inbuilt earphone mics as the audio is decent enough on that)

Aircrew Interview I understand, maybe using something else than Skype could help a little bit already, Skype is not known for it's good audio. (Google's Hangout or any equivalent may be worth a try)

sccypc I have been thinking of using hangouts for the next Skype Interview on the 14th.

burtlangoustine1 >> Very true I wish him luck tho.

Mr.Ruffy uhhhhhhh, where in the interview does he kill someone? The pilot he shot down survived the fight.

Ben D Jr yea but chances are if you shot a missele at a plane you gone kill someone

Mr.Ruffy THE........PILOT......HE.....SHOT........DOWN........LIVED.

Ben D Jr yes I fucking now but he could potentially died so could have the others. Look at how dissatisfied he is when saying he couldn't id the second and third guy and or lost look.

Ben D Jr also as he as he said some died ejecting

Rafael Lastra com You’re his employer?

You mean the devil that allows you the freedom to make a fake ID and post ignorant comments without fear of reprisal?

Rafael Lastra com Shut up troll. If it weren’t for the USA you would not even be able to post your comment here on YT. You probably believe all the Russian propaganda that is so ridiculous that only a person with gullibility issues would fall for it.

Cheers!
