They're great looking skins. Awesome work!

Thanks, PHH!

Not at the moment. I may open one in the future though.

I know a lot of the examples and diagrams I show on this channel are 2-D/on the horizontal plane, but the same exact rules apply for vertical BFM too. When you add the vertical element always keep the EM diagram in mind. You're going to lose speed going uphill and gain it going down (ie negative and positive Ps). So if your game plan is a maximum sustained turn rate, then it might not be a good idea to go up over the top and better to stay where you can maintain speed on that 0 Ps line. Later on in this series we'll cover a situation where you actually do want to lose speed. But I'll leave the details for that video. As a side note, I do remember that during the Vietnam war, F-4 pilots figured out that they had an energy advantage on the older MiGs used by the N. Vietnam AF. Those old MiGs turned much better than the heavier F-4s. One of the first things taught by the then new TOPGUN school was to go into the vertical instead of into a turning fight with a MiG. Just bear in mind that's a specific instance where that was the best call and it may not always work for you.

@@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom I think in the situation that made me question my sanity, I should have opted for more of a single circle fight instead. I was in a live dogfight with a Viggen, unsure which one, and I was in the F5 already below ps 0 mark so I was just trying to use my small radius to deny him a good kill. Coupled with the bandit blunders of the stress, cloud coverage, and everything I was probably early on the turn circle entry queues as well due to the very high LOS change of him being at least 150kts faster. I tried to opt him into my slow fight but he insisted on the vertical so the only valid tracking points I had was roughly at or below the horizon, and being below PS 0 I couldn’t keep the alpha for a shot before he would pull away. He was out of parameters for the sidewinders as well so the missile couldn’t pull the lead either at the aspect I was at. Later in the engagement after about 7 or 8 minutes of maybe single digit gains per minute trying to figure him out, he had a wingman join in a mig 15, in which the fight continued for some 15 minutes total before I ran out of fuel and had to e-land in a nearby field. Gonna have to be more precise and check the gas before an extended dogfight on the deck next time 🤷‍♂️

That's okay with me. Enjoy!

@@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom Great, thanks! It is just a small mission ;-)
