    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.

    I live in the south of England, Boultbee operate their fleet of Spitfires offering joy flights from an airfield less than 2 minutes drive from my house. In the summer I get to sit in the back garden and watch Spitfires fly over several times a day and the sound, the silhouette, and the nostalgia the whole affair induces is something I can't describe in words - it's just something that you can only experience in the flesh. It's nearly US$4,000 for a 30 minute joy ride so I'm squirrelling away a little each week to save up for a flight in a Spit for myself. I've flown in a Hornet, Hawk mk127, Pitts, Chipmunk, Winjeel, Long-EZ, the list is endless, but the Spitfire by far is the aircraft I'm most excited about. I'll try to remember to send you a video of the flight when it happens! Thanks for this video GS, was very entertaining to watch.
