    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!

    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)

    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.

    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.
