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.

Yup. They took all the least worn and broken parts, combined them to make two airworthy Hornets. I'm not buying the high G maneuvers without coming apart though. It was nice that all the weapons did release from their stations.

As an Australian who used to live in Canada for several years, I can rest well knowing that all shot down flankers were apologized for several, several times.

Actually saw this exact plane with the 150 livery on it at CFB 4 Wing Cold Lake in the summer of 2017. Was getting a tour of the base and the guys giving me the tour took me out on the ramp and I got to walk around the jet. Gonna miss the Hornets once they go but am excited to see what we do with the CF-35s

[@F15ElectricEagle]

Starting at Scene 13:00. I was surprised GS did not do a double-tap missile launch: first with an AMRAAM and then kick in the afterburner and launch an AIM-9X. The AMRAAM would have prevent the fleeing SU-27 from turning around and engaging him while he chases it down with the follow-up AIM-9X shot.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

lol yes in hindsight this was the correct option.

[@jdbarnes5987]

Was a matter of time before his hubris caught him with his pants down. Poor AWACS

[@barbarossa1234]

Such a lovely paint scheme. The clouds are amazing too.

[@angrypandaification]

The demo birds usually do have a slick paint job, sometimes designed by a forces member in an open contest. This design was a collaboration between a University student and a gentleman with 20+ years of livery design. This particular livery was the 2017 paint scheme, 2024s will also look good so keep an eye out.

[@glenncooper3524]

I saw this coming when GS said he was going to shoot a fox2..and isnt it funny he was complaining about not enough speed then he was going way to fast at the merge. Love you GS great video.

Gotta love the red scheme, will blend in perfectly with all the forrest fires on the ground when your in a dog fight.... LOL

[@TheNightlessFall]

The Canadian painted their hornets for the demonstration squadrons at Bagotville, Quebec, and Cold Lake, Alberta. Every paint are masterpieces, but the red used for Canada's 150th anniversary is exceptional.

[@CTPI192]

That’s what ya get for being a smart ass.😂

[@gummi_the_ape]

A GS video a day keeps the sadness away :D

[@lowspeedhighdrag566]

I was standing outside way up north one day in the US and saw a hornet pass overhead that looked like it was flying upside down. After that flew by there was a trail of smaller jets maybe 8 or 10 of them. I think it was the snowbirds headed back north from an airshow.

[@trfmusic902]

Canadian here! Love seeing you use the Canadian Hornet

[@ninjabiscuit]

Love the fact that you showed yourself getting a little cocky and then losing. Some people would have not published this clip.

[@Kcco03_]

Ain’t nobody talking about how crazy cool looking those high G maneuvers were

[@DavidSteele]

Dang! Two observations. One is how menacing the Su-27 looks (and always has done to my eyes) during the offset head-on pass. I would _not_ have wanted to ID one of those in a hurry in the late 1980s. Second is how you pretty much hit his gun shells rather than the other way around. It was a good, no, it was a great kill! Wish we could see it from the other perspective. "Here comrade, hold my beer."

[@Deltan1967]

When you chose to close for a sidewinder shot, I thought that your hubris will get you killed one day. Shortly after, you made your comment about "That's what you get for hubris, man" I lol'd and immediately gave the vid a like.

[@argusDCS]

I would love for you to get on the Su-27 with its original weapons, such as R-27R and T, and try to defeat aircraft like F/A-18 or F-16 (they with Fox 3 weapons) in a BVR. It's a big challenge but I'm sure this will push your skills to the max. great video! ❤

[@chefboyarb]

It’s no way that can happen. Unless he can use cover and somehow get behind the enemy and fire a fox 1 while there cold, it’s just not gonna work. They’d have to shoot all their missles and miss in other for gs to be able to go hot. The most he could do is get 1 kill and face a missle to the face

[@somewhereinagalaxyfarfaraway]

Who are you Russian fanboys ? Gs beats up flankers all the time.

[@scoutworks]

It's the CF-188A if you want to really get pedantic

[@giovannyc.1724]

Brief research indicates they are C and D variants with minimal changes, so no, not super hornets. They may have some upgrades over the past couple decades for its weaponry to use a wider range of arsenal like any hornets can

[@Dontbeweak123]

[@MGAFFY]

I'm so glad we've upgraded to the F-35's although they're still a few years out, one thing i'd love to see is that 150th anniversary livery on a CF-35, who knows, maybe for the 175th anniversary they'll have an equally good livery.

[@stanburk7392]

We'd already be into them but Trudeau said there was no way we were going to get them. Eight years later they put in an order for them I think they added 4 to the final count. I always thought the F15 EX or the Typhoon would have been a better fit for Canada. Longer range, twin engine more versatile, and the Typhoon would be scary to go against in a dogfight.

[@alpearson9158]

no clown simple research shows Harper cancelled the origonal deal because an election was imminent and then Trudeau said a competition is required. Took to long but the block 4 F-35 is so far from the origonal to be almost a new a/c; f15 not sold outside the US , Typhoon would not meet the required industrial benefit and withdrew and much as I don't agree the new engines are not the liabilities of the hornet or other twin engine birds and do not fail . The Gripen would have been one that presents a slightly larger rcs but is capable of required interceptor speed and outstanding bvr intercepts via the meteor as well as an ability for attack to say nothing of the desired electronics suite@@stanburk7392
