Super hilarious that the first 3 times you ejected you didn’t get any chute. I know it’s a horrible and horrifying way to go but in this case it was just too funny
The F-35 isn’t a very good model and from what I’ve heard it barely has a complete cockpit. It might be done, but GS probably wouldn’t be in the F-35 for it
I’m a huge fan of the F/A-18, so whenever I see it come up on this channel I’m usually a little bummed when it so often gets outshone by its other fourth generation colleagues in a dogfight (particularly against the F-16). Safe to say after this video and the last one against the J-35, I’m happy to see the Hornet still has its sting :) Great vid as always GS, keep up the great work!
Speaking of the East German MiG-29s, I read an interview with the first USAF pilot to fly the MiG-29. He was an exchange pilot to the Luftwaffe shortly after Reunification when they were integrating the 2 German armed forces. He said the MiG was like flying a big F-16 with some extra tricks. This was when NATO was learning about the HOBS capability of the AA-11 Archer, and was playing catch up. For sure the MiG has some tricks to play as a dogfighter that could catch enemies off guard, but it's very old tech, especially vs the Rhino.

Please make a Vid with The A-10C and F-15E competing against each other while on the same team! VS Couple Mi-24's, few Iglas, Strela, Tunguska, SA-11, and couple SU-25's! Plus provide ground support VS .50 Technical Trucks, BTR's, BMP's, T-72's, and couple T-90's!🙏👍
What? Legacy Hornet had roll rates like 720/second! Ridiculously fast. Super hornet has more thrust, better control in high AOA (legacy had an issue with asymetric bomb loads - like if you dropped one - at high AOA it would go into a spin). Also, Super Hornet has significantly higher thrust to weight. With half a tank of gas more like 1.1:1 So it's a Hornet that not only can get slow, but theoretically get fast again. Also the front aspect RCS is roughly .2 M (the legacy about 2.0M)
The MiG-29 falls like a rock when it's critically hit so you really can't hesitate to eject when you're on the deck... or you end up eating the missile and the ground.
OMG! THE LIVERY! I just had to comment on this vid because the 2005 50th Anniversary Camo of the Diamondbacks is my all time favourite! The snake has never looked this good! And I got a model of it right here in my room!
For me the MiG-29 is kind of an overall mix of an F-8 Crusader (short legs) and a legacy Hornet (modernized aerodynamics). If the late model Crusader was in DCS I'd request a dogfight between an early MiG-29 and the late model F-8.
In 2000, I used to play a mig29 simulator on an old Gateway PC out neighbor gave us. If I'd known then what you've taught me about defeating missiles, I have benn unstoppable. I played it from the f16 side too.
10:22 - SPLAT! 😂😂🤦♂️ Keep your eye on about 40-50 feet out in front of his nose and you’ll see the pilots parachute and deploy and it and him disappear into the ether. 😊 😂 🤣
The Super Hornet is not only stealthy in the front squad, but also has a reduced heat signature. That's why you couldn't hit it so easily with those archers.

At least you won in the race to the deck... vs. your own plane.
This is the first time I've seen GS hitting the ground so many times while ejecting.
hehehehe.
1:55 He was indeed not too close for missiles
"He's a little to close for missiles. Oh not he's not." 😅
Shit happens.
Famous Last Words
Well his last words were "alright eject. Oh where's the chute" (SPLAT)
That "splat" sound you use when your pilot craters is so perfect, I laugh and cringe each time lol
15:07 "Why do I hear a Hornet?" *Angry Hornet noises rapidly approaching your location*
Buzzing the canopy.
15:10 *Howling intensifies* Clearly a Canadian pilot following the "no prisoners no wounded" doctrine.
He can't go back to base without being able to put some checkmarks on the Geneva Checklist.
RCAF do not have Super Hornets, to be fair.
F/A-18F Pilot, excellent flying and some super great turns/maneuvers.
Who was flying the Super Hornet, you need to have them back again.
I just noticed that you changed the skin of the Fulcrum pretty much every engagement, so it felt like it was a different MiG-29 each time
Kinda agree
GS: "He's too close"
Hornet: "hold this AIM-9X for me, my dude"
So much Russian barbecue
Hot potato!
Super hilarious that the first 3 times you ejected you didn’t get any chute. I know it’s a horrible and horrifying way to go but in this case it was just too funny
At least it's a quick way to go
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 2
The F-35 isn’t a very good model and from what I’ve heard it barely has a complete cockpit. It might be done, but GS probably wouldn’t be in the F-35 for it
@@mrcelsius2928I know but it would still be cool if GS did. The F-35 should be much more aggressive. F-35 pilots say it is like a hornet.
Yea. I like the idea.
@@mrcelsius2928 I just would hope that he would give them both 9Xs.
@@mrcelsius2928the F-35 has the F-15C cockpit. Not very appealing to see.
This was a Blockbuster of a duel. Have that opponent again.
12:00 the plane got shot facing up and it unceremoniously went down without wings.
It's been a while since i could watch DCS videos but hearing the Hornet Howl is like greeting an old friend
I’m a huge fan of the F/A-18, so whenever I see it come up on this channel I’m usually a little bummed when it so often gets outshone by its other fourth generation colleagues in a dogfight (particularly against the F-16).

Great vid as always GS, keep up the great work!
Man this turned into a GS Moments of Death montage really fast xD, way to hang in there as long as possible though and rack up a couple yourself
I also was not expecting the 9x that early in the last fight, definitely jumped at my desk when it came in
Jeez that last 9X scared me .. I jumped! Didn't even see it launched.
1:44 "Too close for guns, switching to missiles"
- F/A-18F, probably
I was so happy when you finally got that 4th chute to open and land, despite the Hornet's best attempt to sabotage that landing too! 🤣
Every time You got nailed by a 9X was screaming out for you to eject instantly so you had time for the chute to actually open😭
Well its not often you see someone get the best of Captain Pancake that many times in the same video. Fun times!
Captain Pancake ! hahaha
Like bugs on a windshield.
Thought he was going to cut your chute on that pass.....the ultimate insult.
I love these ultra slow 1 circle fights. Idk why they are just so satisfying to watch. Then I still love some good BVR!
2:23 GS, you actually hit the ground before your Mig did!

God the hornet sounds so good
I’ve been wanting to watch this matchup ever since reading Red Storm Rising. A period accurate 1980s match would be amazing!
What a great vid! I know you probably didn't mean it but the chute antics were hilarious!
That was good flying on both parts, yours and Br3aker7's! Really good 1-circle moves for 4th gen.
that intake howl....truly they are modern dragons
Gotta love that hornet howl at the end
A hornet in HOBS merge is pretty terrifying

DO A WW1 CARGO PLANE ESCORT, (OR A WW2 ONE?)
Please make a Vid with The A-10C and F-15E competing against each other while on the same team! VS Couple Mi-24's, few Iglas, Strela, Tunguska, SA-11, and couple SU-25's! Plus provide ground support VS .50 Technical Trucks, BTR's, BMP's, T-72's, and couple T-90's!🙏👍
Please create a scenario with NGAD, SR-72, and B-21! All three 6th gen aircraft in one vid!🙏👍
Ya need differential thrust in those ejection seats.
Now I feel sorry for bugs on my windshield.

5:50 "Man, fuck yo' rate fight"
"sorry I was so rude, have a missle!"
The MiG-29 falls like a rock when it's critically hit so you really can't hesitate to eject when you're on the deck... or you end up eating the missile and the ground.
Thank you for all the dogfight videos. I like them very much.
There appears to be something wrong with our bloody parachutes today
Please fly The F-15EX VS The MIG-31 BVR!🙏👍
OMG! THE LIVERY! I just had to comment on this vid because the 2005 50th Anniversary Camo of the Diamondbacks is my all time favourite! The snake has never looked this good! And I got a model of it right here in my room!
"Oh, where's the chute. Classic."
For me the MiG-29 is kind of an overall mix of an F-8 Crusader (short legs) and a legacy Hornet (modernized aerodynamics). If the late model Crusader was in DCS I'd request a dogfight between an early MiG-29 and the late model F-8.
"OH WOW!!", lol. scared me when the missle came out of the sun, haha
Really enjoyed that fight, great flying by both of you.
In 2000, I used to play a mig29 simulator on an old Gateway PC out neighbor gave us. If I'd known then what you've taught me about defeating missiles, I have benn unstoppable. I played it from the f16 side too.
didnt realize the Hornet was half Tie-Fighter lol
Had my laughing so hard at the end of the round 1 😂
I don't think I've seen GS splattered this much in one video before.
ngl the parachute gag cracked me up. i'm sure it wasn't intentional, but still. good for you surviving the last round haha
Its the "Squelch" when you die that produces the Simultaneous grin and grimace 😄
1:52 ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT??
This is gotta be my favorite video. Especially the end!
Gimmie a MiG-29 anyday, they fly like a dream and the power to weight is glorious.
High level banter in this one. "Why do I hear a Hornet? Might be the best one.😂
That was awesome to watch...maybe one of the more interesting ones for me....being so close to each other and trying to maneuver to get the advantage.
I love how you just cut back into the conversation when you re up haha
Love the one rule dogfight. Survive!
😂 I laughed at every splat..thanks for the entertainment
that ejection into the ground was just. perfect
Love hearing your commentary in the engagement , l wonder if hearing both of you , talk each other tactics would be possible
*LITTLETOOCLOSEFORMISSILESNOHEISNT-KABOOM* - a classic GS moment
I enjoy these as much as the guns only fights.
I always think about my dad building these airplanes when I watch your videos.
'Gonna lose it if this missile misses' is a fun admission to hear. This was interesting to watch.
That fly by was incredibly disrespectful
When you punched out when you were upside down in that first round; it looks like you got fired out of a gun!
Seeing the ejection straight into the ground in the replay was pretty funny.
10:22 - SPLAT!
😂😂🤦♂️
Keep your eye on about 40-50 feet out in front of his nose and you’ll see the pilots parachute and deploy and it and him disappear into the ether. 😊 😂 🤣
The eject right into the ground had me lmao
Love that after the missile strike, the whole way down your jet continues to deploy flares 😂
It kills me that you technically won most of those fights, but the missiles didn’t track.
Man that howl at the end was sinister 😂love the hornet
F-18: Have a 9x.
MiG-29: Thank you, sir! May I have another?
I love your frustrated and distressed noises after you get hit by the hornet
2:00 Holy chute
lmao the parachute worked one single time
I honestly love these modern dogfights so much, really shows how scary technology can be.
LOL! It’s about time GS got a taste of his own medicine. Both are a beautiful aircraft.
Thank goodness the ground crew didn't sell that last plane's chute.
“Fulcrum” has got to be the coldest name in aviation.
Those thick black/green smoke trails visible in the 29's mirror.... Behold the MiG-29, the first diesel-fuelled jet fighter! 🤣
"You will believe the Admiral Kuznetsov can fly..."
@@stevepreskitt283 Well, why not? After all, who'd have thought flying tank turrets would ever be a thing...
Famous Last Words "He's a little too close for missiles, no he's not."
On a side note, if these two pilots aren't careful they could FOD each others engines with those flares they keep spitting out....
GS, i must admit that you're the master of jynxing yourself.
Pilot was like: "Oh, look! A penny!"
dewd... did you piss off your ejection seat maintainer? Did you preflight for safety pins left in place?
Check THAT out! That missiled his wings off and then his plane went down perfectly: pointed backwards and BOOM 💥
Man, you are just having horrible luck with those ejections. 😂
I Like hiw he just adapts not just to the jet, but also to the whole experience, u see’em using the metric system as a measuring term
That last buzz: When the FOD is so foreign it's carrying a passport
Love the ejection into the ground lol
Love how GS hits the ground first while trying to eject twice. 😅😅😅
You are honorable comrade, going down with your ship! In my best Ivan voice!!
Every time the missile hit’s his aircraft it jump scares me because I don’t see it
The Super Hornet is not only stealthy in the front squad, but also has a reduced heat signature. That's why you couldn't hit it so easily with those archers.
Patiently waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”
The splat sound effect is hilarious lol
You’ve been grinding brother!!! Keep it going!!
"too close for guns, i'll just mince him with the compressor.."
I felt so sorry for that guy who kept squashing to the ground 😂
That was a *REALLY* unfortunate chain of events...
