    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 was an aircraft mech in an A6 squadron on the Midway during Desert Storm. The night before we got started everyone who could, was up on deck loading bombs. 500 pounders,1000 pounders, and laser guided bombs. That first night of operations we were working 17 hours shifts. Thanks for the call back to Desert Storm

    Day 1 of asking for F-117 vs F-117 dogfight. I'm kidding, I wouldn't want to waste time on that.
