If the data was so important why send an F-16 when the F-22 or F/A 18 would be the stronger opinion cuz of their higher maneuverability and better stand off capably

@@GrowlingSidewinder Is there a reason you say you’re going “bonsai” like a little tree rather than “banzai” like the Japanese term for an all out charge on the enemy? Just curious if it’s a little joke I’ve missed along the way.
@@thegreyarea-WPP Its Banzai, pronounced I guess what you think "bonsai" should sound like, here is a video where the dude says banzai at the start. ruclips.net/video/RqiiXcEkWNg/видео.html&ab_channel=bunnyhead48
@@GrowlingSidewinder Thanks mate. I figured I might be missing something. I’ve never actually played DCS but spent enough time flying Typhoons and since retiring from that role have found myself rather hooked on your vids. I have to say that I’ve had more jump scares from you being shot down than I ever once faced in my years of flying. You do a great job here, I really do think that. Stay awesome, and if I can make one request it isn’t a Typhoon one, but simply a little more Two Morons.
You never, Ever leave your wingman. Oh wait, no wingman. Try this with one of your friends we see on the one on one vids, flying as a wingman this time. Our pilots do not fly alone.
I can imagine an F-22 or F-35 flying alone, as they are stealth jets - but not an F-15, F-16 or F-18. Then again, in this mission, the Chinese would probably have 4 Flankers involved and not 2
mmmm F-16 *drools* My dad used to work for General Dynamics down in Texas, we lived just down the road from the plant/airstrip...could watch those beauties fly all day.
Well, if people are suggesting some engagements, why won't you go crazy? A. Two same planes against each other or B. You and wingman against someone + wingman guns only Sick content, man, I always enjoy it!
Love these Banzai missions, I also remember the F-15 vid which was a mission success but sadly didn't go well for the pilot either. That rendering showing the pilot inside the cockpit so mega dope 🔥🔥🔥
Every vid I have ever watched and I have been watching GS a very long time. Always edge of the seat hoping that GS will come out unharmed. He also keeps fighting till the end. Always an awesome watch. Every video. Much love.
Your untimely demise may have been avoided if only the base had used those all those Hornets to help with the mission, and I dunno, maybe escape so they wouldn't get blown up?
@@mwdouglas3794 Possible. I know the US has cruise missiles armed with cratering munitions specifically designed for runways. China may have something similar.
In such scenario, if the enemy is committed in a suicidal manner to shoot down the copters (prioritize attacking the copters and ignore incoming missile), would the F-16 be able to do anything?
Not really. If one just bull charged the F-16 with the orders "Either you eat his missile or you'll eat a bullet when you land" and the other went around, there's really nothing the F-16 can do unless there is a very significant disparity in missile performance.
Awesome fight. Great scenario. I was wondering what version of the AMRAAM you were using and then you did that awesome close up of the Charlie. Very entertaining.
Did anyone notice that the SF landed on an airfield full of F/A-18s. Where are the pilots for them? Did they go out to lunch or were they so scared and ran? Oh wait a minute… is this one of those scenarios where we make the Navy/Marines look pathetically incompetent that they had to actually call in Special Forces and all they can send them was two Chinooks and an Air Force Flyboy in an F-16?? Not worthy enough of a F-22?… 🤔 lol but seriously I absolutely love these videos!! Keep up the good work GF “Semper Fidelis”
You could do a similar video but with the Gripen. Thailand and the Phillipines both operate the JAS 39 and have won mock-battles against China several times.
I have been watching you for a while and one thing you mention to make missile dangerous, SPEED and ALTITUDE. You are in a F-16 and you stayed on the deck...why? I know it also makes his more lethal but it gives you room to drive his into the water when you defend. Am I missing something?

Odd question but what if the DSB-LK tried to strike Washington DC from Siberia against a modern U.S. fleet?

You have been posthumously awarded The Distinguished Flying Cross.
I was thinking Silver Star personally. The citation is quite glowing.
Air Force Cross at minumum
Purple Heart too
I mean, with some of these comments, why dont we a 747 vs A380 with gunpods into the merge???

Really needed a wingman on this mission
whole DCS is autistic simulator, completelly different than reality would be.
@@jurajhablak3424 : Different how?
GS...love the scenario-based engagements. Keep 'em coming!
.... Gallantry and Intrepidity in battle, going above and beyond the call of duty at the cost of his own life, reflecting great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force...
We always had Apache's for cover, and for some reason my brain just clicked and said, "Well, yeah ... the enemy didn't have an air force..." 😅
The countdown to that last AMRAAM launch, knowing the SOF Chinooks were in the air and it was go time, was great story telling.
I think it’s so funny that GS going banzai is literally just: “YOU BASTARD GET OVER HERE!-“
Next time you use the F16, if you could use the “FM” tail code skin that’s my local unit, the 93rd fighter squadron “florida makos” thanks :D
no
You APG?
Was thinking about suggesting this, turns out someone beat me to it… we do need some mako representation though!
@@blablabla5361 nope, I’m just a photographer that’s always at the base seeing them takeoff

Thank you for your service.
Damn, that second Flanker, tho...
He was in an all-black jet, so you know he was a REAL baddie! 😂
@@coffeeguyd Plot armor.
I wait for the latest gaming video everyday....I love watching this.
Following the trend I want to ask for
F-16 with no engine vs F-22 with no elevators
Su-27 with backwards engine vs J-10 with no wings.
Since this is what we’re doing in the comments, I’ll request sr71 vs ISS
repost
6:15 that's a lot of nearly friendly fire arty coming in!
What makes you think that was friendly?
Please do a few WWII prop plane duels. You haven't in a very long time.
Thank you GS for scratching my DCS itch while my household goods are being moved. You’re alleviating my boredom in my empty house haha.
All the best brother I know that feeling. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

Curious as to why you carry a LANTERN pod and a targeting pod for HARM’s but you’re only shooting AMRAAM’s?🤔
Great video , great ending !
1x Darkstar VS 10x J-20 Chinese Dragons pls
Darkstar in DCS is used for strike missions, also, I don't think it has a modeled cockpit yet
Well, if people are suggesting some engagements, why won't you go crazy?
A. Two same planes against each other
or
B. You and wingman against someone + wingman guns only
Sick content, man, I always enjoy it!

I'd guess whatever the attack was probably took out the runway first.
@@mwdouglas3794 Possible. I know the US has cruise missiles armed with cratering munitions specifically designed for runways. China may have something similar.
@@Ifoughtpiranhas Yeah, but they may only work in DCS. China's newest nuclear sub just sank. 😐
@@truthseeker9454 It looked up to it's bigger brother, Kursk, so much it followed in his footsteps!
This is a signature Ranger Battalion mission -- airfield seizure and classified material retrieval/destruction. Awesome!
Really enjoyed the action movie current events type scenarios. Being inside your helmet cam when that missile hit Really hurt.
Probably the best video yet.
GS really loves the Viper, really solid aircraft
8:43 That is got to be one of the coldest yet accurate statements I’ve heard you make to date. 😂
The Ultimate sacrifice! Great Job! Gold star my friend!
Those flankers look beautiful.
In such scenario, if the enemy is committed in a suicidal manner to shoot down the copters (prioritize attacking the copters and ignore incoming missile), would the F-16 be able to do anything?
It might be a detection and engagement distance problem. I guess one could run one flanker full speed for the airfield.
Not really. If one just bull charged the F-16 with the orders "Either you eat his missile or you'll eat a bullet when you land" and the other went around, there's really nothing the F-16 can do unless there is a very significant disparity in missile performance.
Likely not,especially if mig 31s or r37s are involved
Nicely done. I'm wondering if an Eagle or Super Bug might have been a better choice based on the AO?
6:11 That is really danger close artillery.
Did those Chinooks land in the middle of an arty strike or something? That was a hectiz lz.
Really enjoying the mini missions and reattempts when you don't complete them
you are getting a medal for this one.
Love these scenario videos, great job!
This was awesome and refreshing from the normal stuff you do! Not saying the others arent but I felt like it was something at stake here good video
personally i enjoy these scenario x videos a lot keep it coming GS. much love!
I love F-16C❤❤❤❤ Great Video ❤
YF-23 vs eurofighter!
Absolutely love the mission based videos
Heli crew, "We just lost linebacker!!! Evac, Evac, Evac, now, now NOW!!!"

That Flanker lead was just as good as GS it seems. I look forward to finding out it was your secret Chinese brother
Awesome fight. Great scenario. I was wondering what version of the AMRAAM you were using and then you did that awesome close up of the Charlie. Very entertaining.
Watching this during the hurricane
would be cool to see you do some stuff utilizing Jamming Pods, BVR, SEAD etc
Thank you for your sacrifice
Its amazing how much better American aircraft are than their Chinese/Russian counterparts when flown by a capable pilot.
Good stuff
The Special Forces team have all memorized your name and undertaken to look after your family.
That was an excellent dogfight!
Looks like you will be awarded the Air Force Cross for that mission, posthumously.
Right On Go Army!
Thats heroic move
The sacrifice
The joke on a lighter note
Every time you say something along the lines of let’s try to survive this one you die so next time just say it’s going to kill me and I’ll will live
You should dogfight in the j10 against the hornet.Yknow...complete the set?
You just got awarded a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor, Sir.

the rain is dope imo
So that others may live... Booya Lieutenant GS!
A noble sacrifice. Rest in peace.
Well done making that last missile count.
Lightning vs Lightning II pls
Absolute Cinema
You could do a similar video but with the Gripen. Thailand and the Phillipines both operate the JAS 39 and have won mock-battles against China several times.
Another purple heart... to the family.
This was a bad ass video!
Like the mission oriented content better then the dogfights/one on one!
16:25 I had a jump scare when the missile struck💀
I have been watching you for a while and one thing you mention to make missile dangerous, SPEED and ALTITUDE.
You are in a F-16 and you stayed on the deck...why? I know it also makes his more lethal but it gives you room to drive his into the water when you defend.
Am I missing something?
Best one yet 👍🇺🇸
Last Friday the Netherlands said goodbye to the F-16. Definitely a beautiful plane to see! The F-35 will be completely replaced by this.
Stealth Blackhawks may have been a better Helicopter choice for this mission ...... yeah, assume they are not in DCS 😊
Heck of a fight!
Love your stuff man!
Way cool dude!
Next, the 45-second video it takes using the Raptor.
We had our Farewell F-16 Flight today in The Netherlands, I will never see them fly again :(
"there's a glitch in the Matrix"
the boys made it home safe though
Poetic ending
very cool video !
Hell of a fight
Salute!
