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.

Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, Big thank you Mike Romeo for making the Israeli Skin for the F-4 used in this video and also please keep in mind this is not 1 long continuous flight, these are many flights spliced together in the interest of time. Thanks again, much Love.

I grew up near Andrews Air Force. There were F- 4's as far as the eye could see. Back at that time they also kept B-52's. Once every couple months they would have a doomsday practice. Anything with wings had to be off the ground and under 15 to 20 minutes. When they did that at night nobody got any sleep. I remember when I first moved we saw an F-4 go in. Both pilots ejected and we were close enough just see the plane hit the ground 10 seconds. What a place to grow up!!! My father being a high-profile government employee got us tickets to see the hostages come in from Iran.

@StuartKoehl 8 ай бұрын

The IDF-AF were never big fans of the AIM-7--it was expensive, and not all that effective (at least, not until the M model). So it was not unusual for them to put an ECM pod in one Sparrow well (usually starboard forward), and sometimes a rearward facing BDA camera (port well forward), and only carrying two Sparrows in the after wells. This could free up the outboard wing pylons for additional air-to-ground ordnance, including an AGM-45 Shrike or two, or perhaps a couple of CBUs for FLAK suppression. By the latter half of the Yom Kippur War, the IDF tended to stay above 16,000 feet, and rely on a combination of Shrikes and jamming to defeat the SA-2, -3 and -6, because AAA, especially the ZUS-23-4 Shilka, was causing the majority of IDF losses.

@aceblaneescabusa5371 6 ай бұрын

13:36 reminded me of TGM final dogfight between Mav and the unknown pilots when the flares hit the radar missile at some perfect timing. I suggest you for the 47th time a boss fight between the MiG-29 Fulcrum/Su-27 Flanker vs Su-57 Felon for a dogfight or mixed BVR scenario to test your pilot skills since you mentioned in that back in the old days, it probably means that pilot skills matter the most while the existing tech did less. Impress us GS! Keep making meaningful flight contents!

Is there an F-4 sim that uses two players per jet, one pilot and a WSO? For AIM-7s lockons and IFF were done by the WSO, the pilot flew and kept the aim dot in the ASE (Allowable Steering Error) Circle, got Shoot lights, watched his Rmax/Rmin, selected Interlocks In, selected missile stations, turned on the CW transmitter which the missiles would tune to, and would fire an AIM-7 when parameters were met. A pilot could also shoot an AIM-7 using the Auto Acq function (nosewheel steering button)
