Fun fact: Draken International, Private Adversary contractor still fly Ex New Zealand Airforce A4s, fully upgraded, for the US military services. A testament to how well it does in a turning fight even against the current generation of jets.

another fun fact, the Australian navy A4G depicted here may have been one of the ones purchased by the RNZAF and upgraded to A4K 'kahu' model .... then decommissioned by an ugly hippy witch Prime Minister and eventually sold to Drakken .... all the single seat A4ks obtained by Drakken are all former A4Gs 😎

[@slowhornet4802]

At times it looked like the A-4 wanted to poke the F-5 out of the sky with its refueling probe.

[@Boolag01]

I posted this vid in the “Friends of the RNZAF/RAN A4 Skyhawk” page & a former RNZAF member said the following “This looks very reminiscent of many of the Kiwi A4 v F5 dogfights fought out of Butterworth thru the 80s-90s. This one doesn’t appear to have a hard deck. Reminds me of a similar ‘no holds barred’ dual near the Thai border at a time when the F5s were flying real CT missions. Of course nobody would ever break the deck, but there were some pilots who would never give up either. The two aircraft were closely matched but the A4 had an edge when the fight slowed down and in rolling scissors.”

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

very cool thank you for sharing the video AND the response.

[@tigerpjm]

That's cool! I honestly would have thought the F-5 would win in most circumstances with pilots of equal skill. But that's just based on intuition and the fact one had "F" in its name and the other has an "A".

[@Kelgo102]

A-4E is such a fun plane to fly... I keep putting a server room out there with 10 A4s with missiles and guns for dogfighting, only had a few takers but the laughter and smiles are great!! Really a pilots game rather than tech.

[@robinflack231]

Growling Sidewinder do you know there's a radar auto acquisition mode on the f-5 as well as a lead computing gunsight? Just I haven't seen you try and use it yet.

[@MrAeroshady]

Could you elaborate on it?

[@414Chevy]

[@kenulvantwest8804]

4:20 That rolling scissors was epic, but he was kinda given the kill when you couldn’t turn, after he rolled out. I’m not sure if this would work, but you could try and pull hard up, or hit the deck, it might counteract the advantage the Skyhawk has with regards to maneuverability

[@orionprime2543]

F-5,the most underrated fighter plane in east Africa, from kenya

[@FusionAero]

Jambo! Keep em' flying, even if you have to 3-d print the spare parts yourselves. Convince Northrop that the Tiger isn't anywhere near a natural death, and the may yet revive the TigerSHARK, but under the more modest desigination of the "F5 G", as it should have been in the beginning.

From 4:14 to 4:32, the way the camera rolls is so damned cinematic, the A4 pulverizing the ground in round 2 was just.. So.. Good, to the eyes.. As always, a great watch man! 👌👌👌

[@colyott1985]

Nice to see you giving the tiger some flight time. Very underrated aircraft!

[@allmight1612]

Hey GS, try using the lead computing sight, it helps a lot at situations where the target is right in front of you and is turning. Overall, nice video! I’m glad you’re making more videos about the F5E-II, this module certainly deserves way more attention. I think it is my favorite in terms of flight model. It can do any maneuver while still not limiting your input whatsoever, unlike the F18 that feels like someone else is controlling the stick.

[@ashman8891]

GS: I'm gonna try to bring him in closer and force an overshoot. Translation for aeronerds: I'm gonna hit the brakes, he'll fly right by

[@jeremyortiz2927]

These lower generation fights show more of the technical & tactics side of dogfighting. Well done.

[@tigerpjm]

I agree! I think the Gen 3 fighters are the most interesting to watch dogfighting as it seemed like they were actually still designed with gunfights as a primary design consideration. Gen 4 fighters are still really interesting, but it's more about the utilization of missiles. Still interesting, but different. 🙂

[@mikeyhbr5027]

A novice observation.. if you have a aircraft that does not turn well, use it as an energy fighter. Get in, get out, go vertical. The reason the (Actual Pilot) in Mirage went vertical (in earlier video) at merge is to gain altitude to trade for turn speed. Actually I would recommend going vertical on merge for all gun fights. It gives you more options. BTW.. I just subbed and belled. :)
