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.

The F-4B, F-4B(2) w/gun, the F-4G, F-4J, F-4H (2000) and the F-4 Terminator, come to mind. Kind of like how every freaking variant of Flanker is available. But, I know, the difference being that the Flanker is an FC aircraft, and probably way easier to work on, if modding the Phantom is possible at all. I do love this aircraft though. Even as I grow and my appetite for this kind of thing gets lower and lower, the Hornet, the Sabre, the Phantom, and the MiG-15, and MiG-19 keep pulling me back in anyway.
