You should try flying the F-15E against jamming targets like this. It would be cool to see the radar performance, plus its been a LONG time since its been on the channel :D
Briefly look away from my monitor, look back, "Why is he defending upwards?" GS like 2 seconds later: "A little bit disorienting sometimes, just cuz the ocean is blue, the sky is blue . . . " Me: "huh, so it is . . . "
4:20 - Jeeze, you weren't kidding! In my head I was going, "Why is GS heading up?! Those missiles will get him for sure!" I think that's the first time that's happened to me watching one of your videos.
As a Canadian and former avionics technician in a CF-18 squadron I always appreciate anything Hornet. So, thanks! Even more crazy, in terms of Canada/China, would be something like what happened last October in 2023. You know, a Canadian Aurora patrol aircraft (P-3 Orion) off the coast of China gets intercepted by Chinese J-10, two-seaters, very distinctive canards, fuel probe, and PL-8 missiles. Tail number 64358 and I'm not kidding. Seriously, that J-10 was 10 to 20 feet from the wingtips of the Aurora where you could actually read the tail number. Now, of course, in typical GS style... Canadian patrol aircraft get intercepted by Chinese J-10. And hiding under a Chinese transport, well, you know, all of a sudden missiles are fired. WTF? Mission accomplished, lol.
Good lookin aircraft. It’d be rad to see the CDN Govt snap up some F-15 EX to go with our order of F-35s and get them decked out with that beauty of a paint scheme
It's a shame the F-35s will never look like that. The RAM wouldn't like it... Also a shame that Canada's population is about the same as California's alone. Otherwise we might get to see a couple supercarriers with giant maple leaves on their decks.
Love that you post the mission link as well on most missions now. That's always the thing that makes me take some breakes off DCS. Creating missions is just so clunky without 3D, and setting up the ai...
well just blew like 400 bucks getting a T.flight hotas one, some pedals, and desk mounts.... absolutely loving it still learning the f18 but holy smokes is this a step up from vtol VR don't get me wrong that game is great but the graphics and full fidelity cockpit on this game in a vr headset is absolutely mind blowing to me. love watching your vids GS!🤣🤣🤣
The DF-21 is an anti-ship ballistic missile. You were correct on each. It has since been developed into a couple other variants, but its original purpose was anti-shipping.
You know the Canadian Air Force is getting low on aircraft when they send out the airshow painted birds.... so better be careful flying that one - its likely 1/2 their total air force!
Hope the F-35 becomes more fleshed out especially the cockpit and features based on public information. Needs more love on this channel for this kind of operations.
Where can I find a video of your background in flying? Just curious and thought about it while binge watching the adventures of the two morons last night 😂😂😂 love the channel!!
Do you have a vid on your track ir profile? You are the reason why i am playing dcs nowdays aswell but i kinda struggle with my trackir would be dope if you would share your preset , non the less i do love the vids , keep up the great work man 🤙🏻
hello, I uploaded my trackir profile a long time ago but I dug it up for you, if you ever lose it, its in the community section of my channel, but you have to scroll down a lot. That being said, make sure you have precision mode on when using this profile. Download here: drive.google.com/file/d/1dNcSHNmpSfH0jZ-Y5yNRK-sPY_Rh7DAW/view
Fun fact: the HQ-22 missile defense system was sold to Serbia as the FK-3, the export version of it making Serbia's army the first in Europe to use it.
In this video and others, GS has used JDAMS. Are they better than Mavericks? Are Mavericks not a thing anymore? They were so great in Falcon 3.0 and 4.0
Great vid! Why were your missiles more effective than the flankers? You both shot within the MAR. Is it due to human vs computer or the actual technology of the missiles? Just curious.
hello, I actually was not in the mar, I was 1 mile outside of it. So when I went cold I survived, he did not, he chose to notch it, which he failed, and died for his mistake, if he went cold he probably would also have survived.
Out of curiosity, what skins are available on the F/A-18? When i was in the Marine Corps, I went Mirmar to see the Blue Angels for the second time. One display, there was one F/A-18 that and a MARPAT in shades and tints of gray with EGA's throughout the paint job. Thought it was one of the best paint jobs there that day. Anyways, if there's a skin in DCS like that, I'd like to see it on a F/A-18 some time in a mission.
Hi GS, could you set up a Su-34 ground attack mission inside a Patriot envelope without AWACS? I just want to see if you can defend after dropping the payload. You know what situation I'm referring to, it's pretty... weird.

ty for flyin the canadian colours
NGAD vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns and missles plzkthx
SU-57 vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns only plzkthx
Can you please, at least once, pull that big black and yellow "CANOPY JETT" lever on the left? Dammit, I've been wanting you to do that for ages.
@@hoilst265 🤣
*shoots down Flanker in Canadian F-18*
“Sorry about that bud…” GS getting into character 😂
Well he is actually Canadian
@@hauptmanndosman did not know that! Checks out then lol
Our CCP-admiring PM JT will not be happy 🤣
"That ought to just aboot do it."
@@yowie0889*aboat
It’s called Canadian Raising. OA not OO.
The Scottish say aboot. We’re not Scots eh.
Briefly look away from my monitor, look back, "Why is he defending upwards?"
GS like 2 seconds later: "A little bit disorienting sometimes, just cuz the ocean is blue, the sky is blue . . . "
Me: "huh, so it is . . . "
I was, in the same moment, thinking the abolute same :D
Ditto, looked and thought he was upside-down
pilots have died due to the phenomonon, you really gotta fly by instrument in that situation.
I thought the clouds were the ground...
"sorry about that, bud"
Yeah, we know, you're in the Canadian Hornet.
You should have strafed those four fighters are lined up nice and neat. It would have been a whole lot easier than fighting them in the air.
lol they had short range IR down there I didn’t want to take the chance
I love that you're posting the missions now too.
That F-18 rockin the "All Dressed" skin.
More like the "Ketchup Chips" skin.
4:20 - Jeeze, you weren't kidding! In my head I was going, "Why is GS heading up?! Those missiles will get him for sure!" I think that's the first time that's happened to me watching one of your videos.
Exact same thing happed to me. I was sitting there thinking, how is he gaining speed while going up at that weight?😅😅
"...which are 2000 pounders."
yep. its GS
As a Canadian and former avionics technician in a CF-18 squadron I always appreciate anything Hornet. So, thanks!

Agreed, it actually serves our NORAD requirements far better than the F35.
Take the F-15EX out of NORAD protection and you have one vulnerable 4.5 gen aircraft.
F-35A is way more superior aircraft.@@djf817
I'd rather they get rid of the F-35 contract and grab the F-15 EX
It's a shame the F-35s will never look like that. The RAM wouldn't like it...
Also a shame that Canada's population is about the same as California's alone. Otherwise we might get to see a couple supercarriers with giant maple leaves on their decks.
@@SwordOfApollo because the F-35 is not supposed to wear bright liveries due to stealth reasons.
Loving the recent hornet stuff.
It's quite nice having a bit of everything in these multi-role videos.
Good stuff GS, have a good one!
Woo Canadian colours! I saw that paint up close, was pretty stellar in person
As a Canadian, makes me happy to see this aircraft...thanks GS
Love that livery on the Hornet. Cool video, GS. Keep'em coming!
Really grooving on the F/A-18C model. Still learning the avionics packages but aircraft is a really slick.
Thanks GS for all you do here !!
Ya.... the Royal Canadian Red Baron is in the skys again. lol Really admire that skin ;)
Loving the f18 in general
Great video! Really like the red arrow too. Very helpful. Thanks GS!
at 4:19 lowkey thought that you were inverted, almost made me sick when I realized you weren't
How cool that Canadian F18 look with the blue of the sky and the ocean shooting it's missiles.
Thank you GS For posting the mission download I was the one who suggested it in discord ♥
JUST when you were talking about it being disorienting I thought you were upside down but you weren't xD
Great paint job on our Demo Hornet.
I figured that some of those SAMs wouldn’t burn water well enough to launch 😂
Huge respect to Growling Sidewinder for working hard and uploading pretty much everyday, I really enjoy the content

Thank you for showing off this RCAF skin again! One of the best-looking planes in DCS!

It really looks great wearing the maple leaf 🍁
Thank you so much for including mission downloads!!!

If it’s Canadian it’s technically a cf-18, not an f/a-18c. Though basically the same thing. Great vid.
Actually, it is a CF-188 Hornet.
True, but Canada did pick up a few of Australia's legacy hornets
That red paint is outstanding.
Thx for the mission downloads, I really like that.
Hope the F-35 becomes more fleshed out especially the cockpit and features based on public information. Needs more love on this channel for this kind of operations.
I was so disoriented until GS started talking about it 😂
Mission download links are awesome brother. Thank you
Love the paint scheme on this hornet.
Day 29 of asking GS for I-16 vs Su-57 Felon
I need see that
Please GS please do it!
Not normally a 1v1 fan, but that one I DO want to see.
This needs to happen,I honestly think it’ll be a fair match up
Spoiler alert, the I16 wins in BVR
Whenever you fly that beautifully painted Canadian F-18 you should refer to yourself as "Red Leader." :P
I like that you have your anti-collision lights on, just to give them a fighting chance ; )
Aircraft color skin package as well was a cool addition
Great job and thanks for sharing GS
thank YOU for watching man.
My man really said "sorry bud" in a Canadian plane 😂 kill me now 🤣
"sorry about that bud" 😂
Thanks for posting the missions
love the hornet content! KEEP IT UP :D
Those J11’s on the ground looked like they needed a JDAM
Very cool paint scheme, keeping it classy like you northern neighbors do!
Knock knock!!! Who's there? Big Red. I have 3 packages for you.
Great video and thanks for the download!
Love the look of that Jet!
RCAF celebrates it's 100th anniversary this year! Go RCAF!!
The Tim Horton’s 60th anniversary edition hornet
Could you do F-35C vs Legacy or Super Hornet, US Navy Old vs New?
Where can I find a video of your background in flying? Just curious and thought about it while binge watching the adventures of the two morons last night 😂😂😂 love the channel!!

Those Temu T-11B are tricky.
your Canadian social credit def took a hit with this one
Looked like some staffing targets you left.
I still don't know how a lawn chair can be such a threat.
Fun fact: the HQ-22 missile defense system was sold to Serbia as the FK-3, the export version of it making Serbia's army the first in Europe to use it.
the little hornet that could!
@GrowlingSidewinder >>> Great video...👍
Time to postpone my studies for another 15 minutes, thanks GS!
Good video. Beautiful aircraft.
Hold this AMRAAM my dude. lol.
Hey bud, what about a video of different navy jets doing night landings on the carrier in poor weather conditions?? That could be fun
Could you or anyone answer about how long it took you to be able to fly these at-least average ability.
It doesn't take that long to learn the basics of flying. To get good can take a while, nut it's a journey that's worth it.
I thought you were up side down until you mentioned how disoriented it can be 😂
If that was an actual Canadian plane it would be parked because Justa Traitor wouldn’t let you fuel it or load weapons.😂😂
Love the vid! More A-10 content tho?
In this video and others, GS has used JDAMS. Are they better than Mavericks? Are Mavericks not a thing anymore? They were so great in Falcon 3.0 and 4.0
Requesting Su-57 vs J-20.
The legacy Hornet is a beast.
Good practice, what about for the 79th time, do a boss fight between a MiG-29/Su-27 vs Su-57 Felon?
Let's see some F-35 vs. other U.S. 4th generation fighters. Since this is supposed to replace these other aircraft.
Great vid! Why were your missiles more effective than the flankers? You both shot within the MAR. Is it due to human vs computer or the actual technology of the missiles? Just curious.
hello, I actually was not in the mar, I was 1 mile outside of it. So when I went cold I survived, he did not, he chose to notch it, which he failed, and died for his mistake, if he went cold he probably would also have survived.
Oh ok. Makes sense now. I'm a novice at all of this and don't know the nuances. Love your vids and how you explain everything!
Out of curiosity, what skins are available on the F/A-18? When i was in the Marine Corps, I went Mirmar to see the Blue Angels for the second time. One display, there was one F/A-18 that and a MARPAT in shades and tints of gray with EGA's throughout the paint job. Thought it was one of the best paint jobs there that day.
Anyways, if there's a skin in DCS like that, I'd like to see it on a
F/A-18 some time in a mission.
There are plenty of skin + tons of community made ones
Could you do a mission like this in a rafale? You have only ever flown it in a dogfight and I’d like to see how it performs using fox 3’s
Awesome video.
Hi GS, could you set up a Su-34 ground attack mission inside a Patriot envelope without AWACS? I just want to see if you can defend after dropping the payload. You know what situation I'm referring to, it's pretty... weird.
"Sorry bout that, Bud."- GS after killing a Chinese pilot.
That skin is gorgeous.
Hi GS, wouldn't the radar detect the HARM and avoid it by switching off?
The Canadian Hornets, or CF-18's as they are designated in the RCAF, are old and out of date. Held together by duct tape and prayers 😂
I’d like to see you try the mission they did in top gun maverick.
BLUD NEVER DISSAPOINTS US
Good day and hello excellent work on this one
These mission videos are the best
Miss watching you on my tv so i can see all that's happening. If my ex sees this, up yours xD
Beautiful skin for the FA/18.
Nice video my guy keep it up bro
Pretty interesting that a fully loaded F-18 hits 600+ knots in a bvr fight no?
Is it me or is the Hornet the Mac & Cheese of Fighters?
Can we do these missions with other aircraft? Or with a wingman?
Canuck here! Is the CF 18 skin available for download?
Great Mission. Tried the download but how do you it? its not the usual .miz file.
