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.

[@BlindIo42]

At least you won in the race to the deck... vs. your own plane.

[@demoniclsayer]

This is the first time I've seen GS hitting the ground so many times while ejecting.

[@kosh2501]

hehehehe.

[@Spitts44]

"He's a little to close for missiles. Oh not he's not." 😅 Shit happens.

[@bauerns5er]

Famous Last Words

[@Soldier-Gamez99]

Well his last words were "alright eject. Oh where's the chute" (SPLAT)

[@Tristan-wg9ye]

15:07 "Why do I hear a Hornet?" *Angry Hornet noises rapidly approaching your location*

[@disposablehero4911]

Buzzing the canopy.

[@EA-18G_Sky_Eye]

Now that's the kind of "hornet" you would NOT want to see.

[@yrkjrk2972]

1:55 He was indeed not too close for missiles

[@kesrevill]

15:10 *Howling intensifies* Clearly a Canadian pilot following the "no prisoners no wounded" doctrine.

[@TheSuperhomosapien]

He can't go back to base without being able to put some checkmarks on the Geneva Checklist.

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

RCAF do not have Super Hornets, to be fair.

[@masterskilhollow]

That "splat" sound you use when your pilot craters is so perfect, I laugh and cringe each time lol

[@hkguitar1984]

F/A-18F Pilot, excellent flying and some super great turns/maneuvers. Who was flying the Super Hornet, you need to have them back again.

[@DDayJayke]

I just noticed that you changed the skin of the Fulcrum pretty much every engagement, so it felt like it was a different MiG-29 each time

[@sol2wit781]

Kinda agree

[@lightspeedvictory]

Super hilarious that the first 3 times you ejected you didn’t get any chute. I know it’s a horrible and horrifying way to go but in this case it was just too funny

[@HuyV]

At least it's a quick way to go

[@danielberger1378]

GS: "He's too close" Hornet: "hold this AIM-9X for me, my dude"

[@JoshJones-37334]

So much Russian barbecue

[@alexv3357]

Hot potato!

[@cloudforest4087]

This was a Blockbuster of a duel. Have that opponent again. 12:00 the plane got shot facing up and it unceremoniously went down without wings.

[@shura0107]

Speaking of the East German MiG-29s, I read an interview with the first USAF pilot to fly the MiG-29. He was an exchange pilot to the Luftwaffe shortly after Reunification when they were integrating the 2 German armed forces. He said the MiG was like flying a big F-16 with some extra tricks. This was when NATO was learning about the HOBS capability of the AA-11 Archer, and was playing catch up. For sure the MiG has some tricks to play as a dogfighter that could catch enemies off guard, but it's very old tech, especially vs the Rhino.

[@Mav09]

F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New Day 2

[@mrcelsius2928]

The F-35 isn’t a very good model and from what I’ve heard it barely has a complete cockpit. It might be done, but GS probably wouldn’t be in the F-35 for it

[@Mav09]

@@mrcelsius2928I know but it would still be cool if GS did. The F-35 should be much more aggressive. F-35 pilots say it is like a hornet.

[@mrcelsius2928]

Yea. I like the idea.

[@Mav09]

@@mrcelsius2928 I just would hope that he would give them both 9Xs.

[@traviswalker8933]

​@@mrcelsius2928the F-35 has the F-15C cockpit. Not very appealing to see.

[@avramnovorra]

It's been a while since i could watch DCS videos but hearing the Hornet Howl is like greeting an old friend

[@CT--vs4kt]

1:44 "Too close for guns, switching to missiles" - F/A-18F, probably

[@PartTimeJedi]

Jeez that last 9X scared me .. I jumped! Didn't even see it launched.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

Man this turned into a GS Moments of Death montage really fast xD, way to hang in there as long as possible though and rack up a couple yourself

[@BigManGhost]

God the hornet sounds so good

[@scottrousseau297]

Thought he was going to cut your chute on that pass.....the ultimate insult.

[@rileybeckham7243]

I’m a huge fan of the F/A-18, so whenever I see it come up on this channel I’m usually a little bummed when it so often gets outshone by its other fourth generation colleagues in a dogfight (particularly against the F-16). Safe to say after this video and the last one against the J-35, I’m happy to see the Hornet still has its sting :) Great vid as always GS, keep up the great work!

[@chrishoward2310]

I also was not expecting the 9x that early in the last fight, definitely jumped at my desk when it came in

[@arandomvideoman3848]

Every time You got nailed by a 9X was screaming out for you to eject instantly so you had time for the chute to actually open😭

[@djchrismac]

I was so happy when you finally got that 4th chute to open and land, despite the Hornet's best attempt to sabotage that landing too! 🤣

[@PhillipChalabi]

Well its not often you see someone get the best of Captain Pancake that many times in the same video. Fun times!

[@firebald2915]

Captain Pancake ! hahaha Like bugs on a windshield.

[@erikcourtney1834]

Gotta love that hornet howl at the end

[@johnsullivan676]

A hornet in HOBS merge is pretty terrifying

[@hkguitar1984]

2:23 GS, you actually hit the ground before your Mig did!

[@itsdokko2990]

that intake howl....truly they are modern dragons

[@duhdardar624]

didnt realize the Hornet was half Tie-Fighter lol

[@DimitrijeKrunic]

5:50 "Man, fuck yo' rate fight" "sorry I was so rude, have a missle!"

[@yargospofg]

The MiG-29 falls like a rock when it's critically hit so you really can't hesitate to eject when you're on the deck... or you end up eating the missile and the ground.

[@tdolan500]

1:52 ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT??

[@confuse3671]

What? Legacy Hornet had roll rates like 720/second! Ridiculously fast. Super hornet has more thrust, better control in high AOA (legacy had an issue with asymetric bomb loads - like if you dropped one - at high AOA it would go into a spin). Also, Super Hornet has significantly higher thrust to weight. With half a tank of gas more like 1.1:1 So it's a Hornet that not only can get slow, but theoretically get fast again. Also the front aspect RCS is roughly .2 M (the legacy about 2.0M)

[@Anarchy_420]

Please fly The F-15EX VS The MIG-31 BVR!🙏👍

[@SyunKaria-Gadd]

DO A WW1 CARGO PLANE ESCORT, (OR A WW2 ONE?)

[@Anarchy_420]

Please make a Vid with The A-10C and F-15E competing against each other while on the same team! VS Couple Mi-24's, few Iglas, Strela, Tunguska, SA-11, and couple SU-25's! Plus provide ground support VS .50 Technical Trucks, BTR's, BMP's, T-72's, and couple T-90's!🙏👍

[@Anarchy_420]

Please create a scenario with NGAD, SR-72, and B-21! All three 6th gen aircraft in one vid!🙏👍

[@firebald2915]

Ya need differential thrust in those ejection seats. Now I feel sorry for bugs on my windshield.

[@karrackhalcyon8826]

There appears to be something wrong with our bloody parachutes today

[@sTix43_]

I love these ultra slow 1 circle fights. Idk why they are just so satisfying to watch. Then I still love some good BVR!

[@abstractedaway]

That was good flying on both parts, yours and Br3aker7's! Really good 1-circle moves for 4th gen.

[@damianbaldwin7505]

What a great vid! I know you probably didn't mean it but the chute antics were hilarious!

[@therealwhalelord3559]

2:00 Holy chute

[@DW-nf9qe]

"Oh, where's the chute. Classic."

[@archiev009]

I’ve been wanting to watch this matchup ever since reading Red Storm Rising. A period accurate 1980s match would be amazing!

[@MyCupidKiller]

Had my laughing so hard at the end of the round 1 😂

[@jocax188723]

I don't think I've seen GS splattered this much in one video before.

[@timbaskett6299]

For me the MiG-29 is kind of an overall mix of an F-8 Crusader (short legs) and a legacy Hornet (modernized aerodynamics). If the late model Crusader was in DCS I'd request a dogfight between an early MiG-29 and the late model F-8.

[@parkpunk2]

Thank you for all the dogfight videos. I like them very much.

[@DEADmetal3]

'Gonna lose it if this missile misses' is a fun admission to hear. This was interesting to watch.

[@Fearless0813]

Really enjoyed that fight, great flying by both of you.

[@nicholasshirley5687]

that ejection into the ground was just. perfect

[@davidca96]

Gimmie a MiG-29 anyday, they fly like a dream and the power to weight is glorious.

[@arrtemfly]

ngl the parachute gag cracked me up. i'm sure it wasn't intentional, but still. good for you surviving the last round haha

[@pyronuke4768]

I like these fast and brutal dogfights, they're a nice change of pace.

[@MelordJenkins]

You’ve been grinding brother!!! Keep it going!!

[@meowkii_]

The hornet is such a badass aircraft

[@Lootbot90]

“Fulcrum” has got to be the coldest name in aviation.

[@EliteRock]

Seeing the ejection straight into the ground in the replay was pretty funny.

[@Leonardo-wn2fp]

OMG! THE LIVERY! I just had to comment on this vid because the 2005 50th Anniversary Camo of the Diamondbacks is my all time favourite! The snake has never looked this good! And I got a model of it right here in my room!

[@edwardking186]

When you punched out when you were upside down in that first round; it looks like you got fired out of a gun!

[@the1andOnlyjim]

😂 I laughed at every splat..thanks for the entertainment

[@otterconnor942]

I love your frustrated and distressed noises after you get hit by the hornet

[@danmedrano3372]

"OH WOW!!", lol. scared me when the missle came out of the sun, haha

[@miguelruiz8183]

That fly by was incredibly disrespectful

[@biggin2155]

The eject right into the ground had me lmao

[@Rell6000]

1:57 Rescue on the way

[@calvinpfarr]

nah hes dead he hit the ground too hard

[@lewiemotorsports3616]

Man that howl at the end was sinister 😂love the hornet

[@somewhereinagalaxyfarfaraway]

I love how you just cut back into the conversation when you re up haha

[@barryrodgers3039]

I enjoy these as much as the guns only fights.

[@modernmountaineer]

I heard a pilot say the mig 29 has excellent nose authority as slow as 100 knots. That seems crazy slow.

[@johnaustas7982]

Love hearing your commentary in the engagement , l wonder if hearing both of you , talk each other tactics would be possible

[@A_mouse_that_is_pink]

GS, i must admit that you're the master of jynxing yourself.

[@fernandopavon1231]

Your videos are amazing dude I love them so interesting and intense 💯💯💯

[@curtisbartlett8170]

Love the one rule dogfight. Survive!

[@joonyah8904]

lmao the parachute worked one single time

[@FarmerP]

Its the "Squelch" when you die that produces the Simultaneous grin and grimace 😄

[@Gthetricker]

Love the ejection into the ground lol

[@mikehicks4411]

That was awesome to watch...maybe one of the more interesting ones for me....being so close to each other and trying to maneuver to get the advantage.

[@agincourt141]

Really enjoyed that, very entertaining 🤣👍🏼

[@BladeKi11a]

Patiently waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”

[@FreakishWizardthegamingwizard]

I love the missle dogfights

[@SpiderAUT88]

Pilot was like: "Oh, look! A penny!"

[@holden5478]

Thank goodness the ground crew didn't sell that last plane's chute.

[@safn1949]

Dude flew the hell out of that F-18.

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

The splat sound effect is hilarious lol

[@rvnerd7671]

In 2000, I used to play a mig29 simulator on an old Gateway PC out neighbor gave us. If I'd known then what you've taught me about defeating missiles, I have benn unstoppable. I played it from the f16 side too.

[@Fabietto-py9cj]

maybe next a super hornet vs EF-2000 fox2 fight?

[@istvanbarta]

or Gripen maybe?

[@fredetricko5555]

this was fckn epic, thank you!!

[@No1harris_98]

I honestly love these modern dogfights so much, really shows how scary technology can be.

[@andie_pants]

The splats get me every time! 😆

[@nwbklr]

Check THAT out! That missiled his wings off and then his plane went down perfectly: pointed backwards and BOOM 💥

[@jonathanjuillerat9831]

I always think about my dad building these airplanes when I watch your videos.

[@jaconbits]

The Super Hornet is a very good looking plane

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

High level banter in this one. "Why do I hear a Hornet? Might be the best one.😂

[@aghistorian763]

*LITTLETOOCLOSEFORMISSILESNOHEISNT-KABOOM* - a classic GS moment

[@got1flipflop]

Love that after the missile strike, the whole way down your jet continues to deploy flares 😂

[@mrk2ovtec]

Br3aker7 made that f18 look like an f22 the way it dancing out there.

[@TimelyAbyss]

*splat*! 😂

[@miker3866]

That first round was hilarious lol

[@alexcosta7020]

Im just here for the spicy ejection sound effects.

[@bluee3788]

I felt so sorry for that guy who kept squashing to the ground 😂

[@FPS.Lancer]

I Like hiw he just adapts not just to the jet, but also to the whole experience, u see’em using the metric system as a measuring term
