    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 believe in Kosovo Canadian CF-18s totaled more than 600 sorties dropping almost that many bombs. The Hornet has really served well in the roles Canada has asked of it. Didn't mind the night flight at all!

    One of the things I was amazed by in desert shield/ storm was as busy the airspace was we didn't have issues with aircraft running into each other. I was part of the ground forces. My unit was responsible for 70km of the Saudi border. Part of what we did was to retrieve air crew that got shot down within a range of the border we were watching.

    The Triple A is CRAZY TO SEE at NIGHT, I love watching all the tracer fire open up, it's just nutty when everyone and their grandmother has AAA firing into the dark
    Love your night missions! Also, some rare sparrow action was cool to see! Props for getting 2 vids in one day! Day 45 / Video 23 of asking for some MIG 31 FOXHOUND high speed high altitude action!

    Exciting memories - was there, flying with an HSL Detachment (Seahawk helicopters) from an unnamed frigate - ALL my flight time was at night. AND back then - I as the Sensor Operator/Door Gunner was the only one with NVGs - pilots didn't have them yet - but we DID have a brand-new, zip-tied to the aircraft FLIR. Sadly, we didn't get Hellfire missiles for another few years.

    There's a reason the Hornet's designation is F/A. It was the first purpose built, truly multi role tactical fighter for the US. Delivering hate and discontent in air, on land, and at sea.

    I've been loving the varied missions recently. I am a huge fan of SEAD, CAS, and the like so having high quality content related to those roles is so nice. The mixture of A/A and A/G is also a great thing to have as it offers a little something for everyone.

    Jack of all trades... I guess it's only real drawback is that it is not as fast as otherJet's... But it does ground strikes particularly, well. AND it can defend itself against airborne threats. It truly is a Jack of all trades.

    07:00 When a whole bunch of AAA gunners are sending lots and lots of angry bees😡🐝 dangerously close to your aircraft even with your afterburner _off_ …lighting up the *“HEY GUYS, I’M OVER HERE!!👋🏻😁”* blow torch in the dead of night does not seem like a such good idea🫣 in that particular tactical environment. 🤔😲🤔
    But maybe that’s just me and my crazy talk... 😅

  • @christopherofarrell8665
    @christopherofarrell8665 3 месяца назад

    I'm guessing this might have been inspired by the attack in Desert Storm on the Iraqi H3 airbase? Where USN Hornets on an attack run had a pair of Mig-21s move in to attack. And the Hornets simply switched to A2A mode, took them both out, then switched back and bombed the airfield?
    But yes, good showing here - luckily that Mig-29 didn't properly merge with you though when you were carrying that much ordinance!
