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.

Normally, it's not a fight until the F-16 drops its external tanks. Here, though, you needed them to double as skids for your crazy low flying.

Worked on the older F-16 blocks in the hangar, also was assistant-crewchief during my compulsory. The Viper will always have a special corner in my heart.

[@seaotter6811]

Cool. I was a crew chief at Hill AFB when they arrived. I loved working on that aircraft. Lots of fun but lots to learn. We had F-4Ds prior. Miss it.

[@renevanderkraats224]

@@seaotter6811 Yeah, I miss it too sometimes. I was at an airbase in the Netherlands, so old block versions at that time, I think 15? Loved the work, but the better paycheck in IT and the wish to get my own home won me over in the end.

[@Beau-wp9yi]

You ever hear of a pilot ever flying like 10ff off the ground like this? How possible is this?

[@Beau-wp9yi]

@@seaotter6811I lived next to HILL AFB my whole life. Up until a year ago. Loved hearing those planes screaming by. My dad was a pilot there and retired there. Don’t remember the squad number but he was a “diamondback” I even got to sit in the cockpit of an f16 as a kid. He retired in the late 90’s His name was LT COL David A “Wilson” Pickett

You have alot of awesome videos, but this one has got to be my top 5 favorite. Good job, man.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Appreciate you.

[@baginatora]

The ultimate "you're not that guy, pal" F-16 video so far.

[@adamtheninjasmith2985]

So something interesting to think about with hypersonic missiles trying to engage a fast moving target, is that at the terminal phase they will have very little time to make fine adjustments. Both in processing speed and the actual ability to maneuver. A slower moving missile on the other hand has a lot more time to process and potentially maneuver. Of course the missile has to be moving faster than it's target so it doesn't just get outrun but that's pretty obvious.

[@AllSquirrel]

Okay, been watching you for a while. Love your content. That low flying section (wont ruin it for others.) Had me on the edge of my seat! Great video this one! Thanks for the awesome content!!!

[@208SledHead]

This might be one of the best videos you've made yet. Wow that was fun!!

[@stevepreskitt283]

Base public works dept.: "Well, if you were gonna be cutting the grass while keeping your tanks, couldn't you have also had the ground crew bolt a plow blade on and taken care of some of the roads while you were there?"

[@E-Lighterswon]

I love watching how you evade the enemy missiles. When I practice what you have shown , it's starting to work for me as well. Awesome fight!

Damn bro. This is one of the best fights we've ever seen in this channel imao. GJ for both.

Fantastic screen shots of the f16, GS ! Thanks !

[@MichelVaillancourt]

Nearly any other pilot, I suspect, and that mission would have been marked as "maneuver kill" for the SU35. Absolutely wild.

[@nymalous3428]

That missile contact wasn't so much the missile striking the aircraft as the aircraft striking the missile. And at that speed, the missile wouldn't even have to explode to bring the aircraft down. (Also, those hypersonics exploding the terrain around you was pretty terrifying.)
