[@MississippiKid96]

I see it took a little time for the video, but thank you again . Hope you are doing well

[@eddielohr]

Id like to see some more ww2 fights. This video was amazing

[@Kadin208]

Sidenote- how are you so good at flying the tomcat and keeping it from rolling over. Especially in high AOA situations like dogfights.

[@SvenTviking]

Spitfire XIV, perfect example of an energy/turning fighter. 447 mph, 5,000 fpm climb, and turns like, well a Spitfire

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

@@Kadin208 Rudder, if you can use the rudder correctly she doesn't roll so much.

[@Universal_exports87]

Mad props to Shotgun. That first fight was insane.

[@Broothski]

Absolutely, phenomenal dogfight to watch!

[@dorklol2969]

that was craaaazzzyyy good! Also this cinematic szenes were top!

[@SVSky]

Greased pig.

[@darknightr15yzf]

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[@manzelli1981]

Going through that railroad cut - that was some ballsy flying

[@RobertDemery]

Shotgun practicing his Death Star trench run skills.

[@DanielCPhillips]

I was thinking more Dam busters myself - however that is where George Lucas got the idea for Star Wars came from!😉👍

[@oliabid-price4517]

Actually, it was 633 Squadron that inspired the Star Wars trench scene.

[@DanielCPhillips]

@@oliabid-price4517 George Lucas in a number of interviews referenced 633 squadron, Battle of Britain, Hells Angels and Dam Busters as inspirations for his space battle sequences in Star Wars 4 A New Hope, which was ironically his first movie!

[@aaronschilling7302]

He's looking back while doing it, too! Insane!

[@bbrother92]

who tf is Shotgun?

[@stormhawk31]

I have to say, that first flight is one of the few times I've seen GS get SOLIDLY beaten. More Shotgun, please, and more WWII as well.

[@paynekiller75]

More WWII dogfights and definitely more Shotgun! He's an incredibly talented pilot 😎

[@W1ckedRcL]

Shotgun is absolutely a fan favorite. He's probably your best OpFor. The man flies really well and never fails to impress. And his disrespect is just.. *chef's kiss

[@jurestormchaser5382]

Shotgun & Toxic & Anvil!

[@theandf]

@@jurestormchaser5382 all of them are good, but I think Shotgun is in a class of its own.

[@chancestinger4846]

My late grandfather would say that Shotgun was "Flying like a bat out of Hell with an Angel on its tail on a Sunday afternoon."

[@paynekiller75]

I can tell your grandfather and mine would have gotten along very well!

[@J-P88]

That is a classic

[@roijoi6963]

Yeah, some of those pilots, like the 83yr old check-ride pilot that gave me my ticket, and flew in the Battle of Britain, were incredible natural pilots. Even at 83 he was far and away the best pilot I have ever flown with. Mad skills. It was a great thing to have him as my check-ride pilot because it humbled me at a time I was starting to think I was pretty good myself. Perspective can save your life as a pilot and inspire you to become a really GREAT pilot.

[@iNeedaBreakdown]

Ngl, that has to be one of the most cinematic fights on your channel and one of your best videos in general. Shotguns maneuvers were dope af!

[@Zane-u1u]

This video hit different then any other video i have seen from blink

[@TheMasterCheese]

You know Freebird was absolutely blaring in shotguns head that whole time.

[@ozsumut]

Now I'm listening to the solo while watching this 🔥

[@gert5303]

The camera angles of the first fight were so cinematic. Amazing job ❤

[@42grath]

That run down the tracks was so sick, Shotgun. Great flying

[@roijoi6963]

I think that might actually have value in a modern context. I think the metal and wires in a RR track could mask a low flying attack aircraft from look-down, shoot-down radar. Can anyone confirm this?

[@camiloteram]

I just don´t understand how he didn't hit any of the poles

[@TheRealAaronSmith]

​@@camiloteramprecise flying lol

[@legacychase3702]

This was fun. The low flying from Shotgun while glancing back... daring. Shotgun's engine was redlining everything. Go Merlin ❤

[@cleveralias8085]

Shotgun doing some pilot sh*t

[@aesthetictap3401]

“Cmon Mav! Do some of that pilot shit!”

[@murph3194]

Shotgun already had my respect but that 1st round......man! That had to have made it in the top 3 dogfights of this channel in the 3+ years I've been watching. Well done to both of you. Please more WWII fights. Let's go!

[@richieismyhero]

That first fight was insane! That low-level flying was epic. Shotgun is badass. It's one of the best videos ever

[@Toledotourbillion]

4:41 Shotgun is the alumni from Mavericks school of radar evasion .

[@hydrolox3953]

shotgun really said "we are so back" and came back all over the place. Truly the dogfight of all time

[@zacharyhansen4379]

That railroad scene from the ground with him passing you chasing with rounds incoming was insane! Great flying guys! Love the WW2 stuff!

[@SMathai]

I feel like someone in hollywood could see that and think of creating a movie just to have that scene in it.

[@Ray33416]

that first fight is one of my fav fights ive ever seen on DCS no joke. Pure Cinema

[@hunterfly753]

For me to

[@CharlieLubeck]

that was genuinely one of the most entertaining fights I've ever seen on this channel. shotgun is a fantastic adversary, at 13:27 you guys look like dolphins in the air

[@jaydawg7]

Just a lot less playful 😂

[@jakelange5672]

I really like how much more finesse it takes to get guns on target at these lower speeds, when the defensive pilot has time to see an angle coming and dodge out of the way. You can see a little bit of the yoke and rudder being less than perfectly intuitive when it comes to getting nose on target, and stall-fighting is a thing in a way it isn't in jets. I'd definitely watch more prop content

[@therocinante3443]

8:29 I never understood exactly what my grandfather meant when he was describing his fight's against the 109's... That illustration makes me wish he was still here so I could show him this.

[@stevenbenn9688]

The howl of the engine and the roar of the propellers is just unmatched. Love these WW2 dogfights! Would love to see the Hawker Hurricane!!

[@mikecrabtree8200]

The Force is STRONG with Shotgun. I always enjoy these. But this round, Shotgun is making this VERY interesting.

[@ChainsawChuck13]

Shotgun going full throttle 20 feet off the ground in a thick forest was one of the most insane things I've ever seen. Bro deserved to win just for that maneuver

[@SuperNinja369]

First time I’ve seen you get out flown. Shogun is a serious testament to the quote “it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot”

[@erichiller4144]

My head was banking right. then banking left. I caught myself doing it while watching. great video.

[@spencerpearson1321]

My God shotgun might be the only pilot I have ever seen match you in skill and craftiness. That is absolutely insane.

[@juaniravaioli3741]

Oh, man, this is an awesome vid!! The switching perspectives, the old warbirds, no missiles, no high-tech radars and stuff, pure pilot talent. Thank you!

[@curtiscopeland7975]

Wow! The attention to detail! The bullet casings coming out of the wings as Shotgun was following you into the vertical! Amazing.

[@rustyduktape]

Probably one of the more enjoyable YT videos i've seen recently. this was awesome! amazing piloting, and that mustang pilot is a hero!

[@worldbreaker1023]

Shotgun is an absolute menace! Great fight!

[@BlastGT1]

Shotgun's bag of tricks is DEEP. If anyone can be your foil in all of your video I have watched, it's definitely him. Your precision versus his unpredictability make for some very good fights. Shotgun is definitely unconventional, and a perfect example of not giving up because it's not over until it's truly over.

[@BoltUpright190]

The K4 is an absolute beast in the vertical. I'd love to see a similar fight in a Dora, where the Dora could leverage it's high roll rate.

[@thanapatsriboot7846]

The first dogfight is definitely one of the most epic dogfight. 10/10 skills from you and Shotgun.

[@codychild2665]

Insanely good couple of fights. Hats off to both pilots!

[@SEJay-gj2cv]

This was a super fun video to watch. Awesome flying by both pilots and sick paint job on the mustang. Thanks!

[@coffeeguyd]

Love when you occasionally show your opponent's point of view, especially during really great and almost cinematic fights like these!

[@TheCobra114-o5e]

Man, shotgun is one hell of a mustang jockey! I guess all of diddys oil went to shotguns airframe so it can be so slippery

[@willfultrain6779]

Shotgun is insanely good with that P-51

[@BrinnerDang]

Darn well about time you got back to the pistons. I hope to see many more of these WWII videos... :)

[@InSearchOfReality]

Simply awesome. The different viewpoints during that first round fight made it infinitely more immersive. Amazing stuff, lads!

[@tugatrix]

Damn flying so close to poles and trees, sill looking back. Mad respect

[@JohnnyFaber]

The force is STRONG with this one! Robin Oldswalker...

[@Overkill06]

You're righ GS, it's not always the plane, but it is always the pilot.

[@SkullH4T]

Shotgun is incredibly skilled with the Mustang

[@WorsteBrooike1900]

Thank you for the uploads, this channel has become one of my favorites over the past year i have been watching!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank YOU for watching

[@diamondthree]

​@@GrowlingSidewinderthanks for the WW2 content man! It's great. You've got a long history of teaching us jet-era tactics and terms, would you consider the same for the props? For example, the move you tried twice is called a hammerhead, or you could teach about aircraft strengths such as climbing turns in the 109 or dive escapes in a P-40 or weaknesses like exploiting high speed aileron compression so a 190 can outmaneuver a Spitfire. You could do so much!

[@GamingWithJollyRoger]

One of the most impressive P-51 flights I have ever seen. Give that guy a medal. Also please due make a WW2 video at least once a month! 🤩🏴‍☠

[@Overkill06]

Ya know, it's funny some time ago, the Discovery Channel had 2 P51 pilots and 2 FW190 pilots being interviewed simultaneously. Both P-51 pilots were absolutely astonished as to how well the German pilots were doing with the visibility and poor layout of the cockpit was in their fighter aircraft was. Then the German pilots got into P 51's and were stated as saying that if they were flying that aircraft, we would all be speaking German now!!!

[@J.MSmith]

Flying jets all the time In sims and using missiles 99 % of the time..I often forget just how good you have to be fighting in these older planes..props to both of you 2 ..your both dam good sim pilots

[@aaronliddell4280]

These WW2 fights are SO much more entertaining!!! More please 🙏

[@harrykoyl3784]

Shotgun just became my favorite pilot! That train track run was EPIC! Spielberg would be impressed...!

[@RedHornSSS]

I love props. Shotgun did a good job skimming the line between stalling and borderline maneurverability. Look at that rudder turn before your first death

[@97BuckeyeGuy]

What an absolutely great fight to watch. That fast flight on the ground was amazing. Amazing piloting skills from both.

[@lucianoaugustob]

Dude, this was amazing, we need more of this! He has mad skills!

[@Toledotourbillion]

Shotgun is the alumni from Mavericks school of radar evasion.

[@abstractedaway]

5:07 This is INSANE! One of the greatest dogfights on your channel ever. Mad props to Shotgun and that crazy jinking in that P-51D, he seriously knows how to turn the tables on a losing fight.

[@dinoman-space]

That was an incredible fight, I thought for sure it was over when Shotgun kept flying straight and low (the exact kinda thing I would have done haha, trench run style!), but somehow he just kept slipping away and pulled it out of the bag! Amazing fight!

[@Gregg-ky8so]

5:10 to 5:20 looked like something straight out of a movie. Shotgun really gave him a run for his money!

[@jackjetpilot]

Epic pilotage Mr. Shotgun.

[@celsus7979]

In his autobiography part 2 "Going Solo" the writer Roald Dahl tells the story of him flying an RAF plane over Greece in WW2. He pulled off a similar escape flying a few meters above the Greek countryside. Cool to see it here!

[@madhukarjonathanminj2772]

Such a fascinating man Roald Dahl was.

[@renegadeoffunk2588]

Shotgun knowing he's hitting his limit and doing that rudder flip recovery at 3:35 juuuuust before he totally stalled was so damn smooth

[@leeh9420]

WWII = Instant thumbs up

[@duanedevecchio8873]

Great to see the WWII combat. Hope there is more.

[@mysterymayhem7020]

Thanks for going old school. I have been waiting impatiently for something from this era.

[@davidca96]

BF-109 my favorite piston engined fighter ever produced.

[@geoffgreen2105]

3:55 - I think Shotgun was hearing "Freebird" right about then...

[@rowbags3017]

It's great to see some WWII again. Variety is the spice of life as they say. 👍

[@TheRolvaag]

That is one talented pilot

[@USNMMCret]

I watch all your videos. The commentary, especially for those of us of DCS and flying ignorance, is excellent and informative. Your knowledge of platforms and weaponry is amazing. I enjoy the modern era fights but this video is tops. Great job by you both.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Appreciate you, thank you.

[@CooperT4]

I found this channel when it had only 500 subscribers. I have been watching this channel for a very long time now and I must say this content has gotten me through tough times. Mellow videos that get your mind of things. I’ll always appreciate this channel’s content, and GS if you somehow see this comment, please fly the F35. It’s one thing I’ve always wanted to see on this channel

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thank you, I appreciate your support, the channel has certainly come a long way since then. I will gladly do some F-35 content, just waiting for a mature version of the mod to show up before I show case it.

[@CooperT4]

@@GrowlingSidewinder YOU'RE THE GOAT

[@JS-pt-219sg]

That has to be the most exciting and skillful dogfight video yet. Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@juggern4ut57]

F117 please..... that low level flying is crazy

[@MattDonafrio]

Simple and to the point.

[@Mando1700]

YES! Where’s the nighthawk at?

[@sigis72]

I wasn't even that interested in seeing this fight until I saw the fight and realised this is probably the best one I've seen on this channel! You guys are very skilled

[@DeathColdBeer]

Legendary Dogfight! Much love great content. Been subbed for years. So epic. Thank you.

[@cptjohanson]

That Death Star run! 0_0

[@MinefighterLP]

That fight was absolutely insane. Could be straight out of a movie. More WW2 and Korean War era fights please

[@busterdee8228]

Shotgun: 'Take the slack out of those control cables.' Crew chief: 'Again?'

[@crazedpilot747]

Easily one of the most cinematic and movie-like fights ever seen on this channel... just wow!

[@ck9363]

That was one of the absolute best videos you've ever posted, GS! Shotguns flying was incredible! Man, what a.great great fight!

[@CNCMatrix]

Been watching you since you for like 5 years and I don't think I've ever seen anybody make a comeback like that against you. That was amazing.😊

[@bobby021980]

Best one yet , guys. Proper good job ! 💪

[@davidbliss8352]

The quality of these videos just keeps improving. Really fantastic content. Thank you.

[@shadekerensky3691]

Oh my God, that first round was absolutely incredible! Especially Shotgun's little trench run trick with the tracks.

[@michaelgriffin1601]

WW2 fights are so fun to watch, pepper a few in here and there. Also that railway piloting was insane to turn the battle with some serious balls.

[@dudex3101]

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR COMING BACK WITH WW2 CONTENT

[@Brazmannslittlegamingcorner]

We love your ww2 videos, man, they are truly great!

[@BrotherJP333SP]

That was incredible. Respect to the P-51 pilot for flying right along the railway without hitting any poles or trees.

[@Lee-sti8wrx]

That was bloody awesome, he is a legend of a pilot. Insane flying through the power lines and road or railway. Awesome video mate. Just have to say they are both beautiful looking fighters. What weapons for the age of them.

[@lwrncschmchr]

Been watching your channel since COVID brother, probably one of the best dogfights I've seen here ever. Love the WWII warbirds.

[@hawkertyphoon4537]

at 5:15 when the mustang ran, and the 109 cam hammering behind, that was awes0me

[@RAXax]

Don't usually go for the WW2 stuff, but glad I gave this one a shot b/c it's very entertaining to see 2 skilled pilots handle their planes like that.

[@horusfalcon]

You guys are gettin' into it today. Thanks, that was wonderful.

[@onearmedman9042]

I really enjoy watching these air battles. Thanks for posting them. Cheers mate

[@Kjell777Iverson]

AMAZING flying by shotgun. The part where he burns down the road between the power lines was so freakin cool.

[@Marauder1981]

Missed opportunity to put "Choo Choo" sound at 5:10

[@paynekiller75]

😂 So true

[@tyreekmurillo4524]

missed opportunity to kill his enemy 😂

[@icaleinns6233]

Man, what a fantastic fight that 1st one was! Big Kudos to Shotgun!

[@duncanmackay1215]

That was honestly the most "theres always a bigger fish" moment I've ever seen on this channel.

[@451dskots88]

Ok..... That Freaking railroad run was 100% exhilarating. Need More Shotgun for sure!!

[@razor1106]

a few years ago you did this 3v3 fight with a whole tac view afterwards and the whole video was like an hour long. that’s something i’d love to see again!

[@johnhermann7498]

Shotgun is your "Jester" in this. The man has mad skills and that low level run was one of the best yet!
