FYI: While P-51 Mustangs were in active use in Korea, the “New” USAF used different paint schemes for them. The P-51s included in this video are from the 352nd Fighter Group which was deactivated in November 1945 - a full 5 years before The Korean War officially started. P-51 Korean liveries are and were available for the making of this video.
Sims like DCS and games like War Thunder are doing a good job of making the Korean War no longer forgotten. The only flaw I saw in your epic footage here was the mounting of a GAR-8 in one scene otherwise top notch keep up the good work.
Believe me, I don't have enough fingers to count the number of small details I wished I had changed. ;) The thing with video editing is that it can take an infinite amount of time... and even then you will still forget small details. At some point, you have to draw the line somewhere...
IMHO they are different planes built for different purposes. The MiG-15 was primarily used for interception of high-altitude bombers, while the Sabre was a pure dogfighter. At low altitudes I prefer flying the Sabre: it's slightly more nimble and has a better dive speed. At high altitudes (over 35,000 ft) I'd prefer using the MiG. As far as looks go, I like them both equally.
DCS is beautiful, but it has a prohibitively steep learning curve and price tag for add-ons and equipment (HOTAS and VR). While I greatly appreciate and respect all the labor that has gone into DCS, I really do wish there was something out there more akin to what one could find back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Chuck Yeager Air Combat, for example, had pathetic graphics compared to modern-day sims, but it was still fun to play. I didn't have to go through actual flight school to learn how to get an F-86 off the runway (I mean, I'm not really going up against a Mig-15).
Nice job.
Thank you, Wags. Coming from you, that means a lot to me.
Fantastic! Nice job Chuck....as always.
Jack Flash Thanks, Mr. Flash!
Great work, Chuck, old chap. Just great! ~S~
Heck yeah Chuck! Let's do it!
I hope to see a couple of JG52 folks as well. What are you gonna fly?
9./JG52 Meyer and I will be flying the Mig15 bis. We'll be part of the Red Horde ;-). When is the server up?
Stunning work!
Thanks, buddy.
Beautifully done sir! Bravo!
Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it.
Sounds great. I will have to give it a try!
There are some amazing pilots flying the MiG-15 in "F-86 vs MiG-15" servers. The upcoming event will be a real challenge for everyone involved.

great vid - good job. I am torn between the Mig and the Sabre. Haven't yet decided which one to get..
Fred Garcya Both are excellent machines, and overall great modules. My suggestion is to get them both on a sale. They are equally enjoyable to fly.
amazing! nice job :)
Thanks for watching, Exocet. :D
Corsairs and F9s with naval ops would be the berries.
Leatherneck Sims did hint at "maybe" working on a F4U Corsair... And VEAO might also work on a Seafire.
Wondering if the server is still up these days :)
The ultimate question: Sabre or MiG-15? I, personally, prefer the Sabre. :p

Hey man, you should join the Korean server
