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.

Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ As requested in the video, if you would like to see a cold war server set up please let me know, I'm trying to see how much interest there exists in the DCS community for something like the GS server but in cold war format. Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, thanks again, much Love.

[@shadowgd2012]

hi, I'm loving your videos. Keep it up

[@AdalbertSchneider_]

just in case you didnt checked, I sended you an email about F-15QA... Hopefully the mail YT is saying is yours, works... And you will see probably my new favorite bird and hopefully I will see you in it ( or somehow emulated from EX... )

[@babouras123]

I've already put my 2 cents for the ideas for future videos. Ka-50 vs Apache, in an environment with tall buildings. Hope to see it at some point. :)

[@Anarchy_420]

Lmao best ejection ever!😂 and you've had some great ones👍👍 Lol Like👍 # 420 ;)

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

The AV-8B always trips me out because the pilot basically has Det Cord just inches above his head in the canopy for the ejection sequence.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

little Det Cord never hurt no one....

[@DoradoFever]

​@@GrowlingSidewinderliveleak would disagree 😂

[@meatballg8655]

Personally even if it’s slightly scary I’d still take my chances with the det cord than plummeting into the earth at 600mph

[@utley]

​@@DoradoFever liveleak doesnt exist anymore

[@RampantFirefly]

Does help prevent the pilot from Gooseing themselves when they eject tho

[@zachboyd4749]

Good choice with the shark skin! That means you get +20 agility, 40% more HP, and 30% more XP!

[@CurtDeeeezy]

World of warships reference I see 😂

[@ShyamadeepPrasad]

He should've painted it all red, w40k-style. 'Da red ones go fasta'

[@AFG.1]

Cant forget the racing stripes, give you a 70% boost in agility and 100% in speed.

[@benn454]

That's one of the spiciest ejections I think you've ever done.

[@PhantomP63]

He left himself a smokescreen for escape and evasion.

[@viridisxiv766]

the only one that beats this is the "hold this for me" ejection where he rammed the other guy on the runway.

[@viridisxiv766]

theyll assume hes dead and wont bother looking for him.@@PhantomP63

[@seancrandall1291]

I hear in the 80s, it was especially hard to visually distinguish between the F-5 and the Mig-28.

[@jpteknoman]

I guess not many people got it.

[@gorn1675]

@@jpteknoman I did, but not in the first place because i thought about MI-28 first and that did not make sense. I do not know why I overseen the "g" but the Brain sees what it wants to see^^

[@j100j]

For a second I thought that there is no mig28 since they only use odd numbers for whatever reason. Then I remembered top gun.

[@the_blue_truck]

Nobody’s been this close before

[@mattyisagod]

I've seen a harrier crash on a runway like that before, dude didn't eject until his canopy was engulfed in flames. I'm surprised he could fit into the cockpit with balls that big.

[@rickywalker6993]

Was that the crash at Wright Patterson AFB in the early '90's?

[@IHateTom]

I think he’s talking about the raf one in Kandahar.

[@Webbamaet]

Love the harrier. Jump jet has a fond place in my heart. My dad worked in the team that designed the radar housing for this jet. Always had models of them growing up.

[@Jorgen03]

I lived on the USS Essex on and off for 19 months and I never got tired of hearing Harriers take off and land. ❤

[@gorn1675]

Do you do vacuum cleaning all day for the sound, too? (Just a small joke, AV8 is my favorite plane but there are better/cooler sounds in Aviation-History)

[@Jorgen03]

A few decks under the flight deck, which is where we lived, it sounded like a train was rolling over your head.

[@solidkreate5007]

I liked watching them on the PLAT from TATCC on the Boxer - AC1 (AW/SW), USN.

[@Mitch_Janssen]

Cool Video, thank you for playing with my Shark Skin creation.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

fantastic skin for the harrier you did a great job.

[@82726jsjsufhejsjshshdjso]

Legend it looks awesome. I love the harrier

[@Lee-sti8wrx]

That is the coolest looking Harrier I have ever seen. I grew up loving the Harrier jump jet as we called them. Built quite a few models of them, had them hanging off my bedroom roof with the F-14, F-15 and F-16. I actually had one F-117 as well. Great video man.

[@mbarnlund]

AV-8B scenario set in the Falklands ‘82 would be pretty sweet! 🤗

[@garyfoss4394]

After ejecting, DCS should make you walk home. For immersion.

[@benn454]

Then you get captured by the enemy and have to spend 3 real-time years in a POW camp.

[@CJFreeza]

That spicy ejection was awesome 😎

[@Dusther210]

That ejection! Also I would enjoy watching Cold War server videos. I like watching when you play with and against other people

[@khwaac]

Waited way too long

[@djchrismac]

Pretty sure your arse was on fire while ejecting away from the plane there! 🤣

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Ya landing in the snow with my ass is the only thing that put it out. Was taking POW in assless chaps.

[@The_Original_Brad_Miller]

@@GrowlingSidewinder lol.... not sure that's a visual I wanted 🤣

[@clairecelestin8437]

Flying in below the flak for a low altitude, spicy bombing run... This is why I want to see you in an A-6. Thanks for the content! I appreciate you!

[@hoodwink325]

That was the BEST ending to a video, you have done yet! Badass!

[@brockduckworth2029]

Love the shark's paint scheme that is awesome on the That plane👍

[@SPDFRK]

You are one hell of an editor man. Well done sir. I'd follow you into battle.

[@nobeltnium]

TO BATTLE!!!!! 🐕‍🦺

[@murph3194]

That was the best ejection in the history of ejections lol Love the paint job on that thing. I was feeling protective of the A-10s look but it looks so damn good. Great vid as always

[@truthseeker9454]

After you survived that ejection I was waiting for a BMP to hustle over to squash you. 😄

[@arnie24070127]

"Alright.....we're POWs now.....I guess."😂😂

[@resurgam_b7]

Excellent video! I loved the external beauty shots whenever something happened around the plane or you released a weapon.

[@babouras123]

LOL, "spicy ejection". Never heard that one before.

[@aaronliddell4280]

That was like the Carolina Reaper of spicy ejections! Lol

[@batmanthedarkknight3463]

The smile on that plane is pretty intimidating 🔥

[@Nosferatu880]

Just imagine what that bomb run would have been like in a F-105 Thunder Chief...

[@stevemc6010]

entire city block there would've looked like the moon lol

[@timsullivan4566]

The tank bomb run video was AMAZING! Very exciting misision - thanks, GS!

[@avramnovorra]

What stood out to me is just how lovely that shark paint job was, down to the dark top and light belly! Also you were close to making ace in a day there, Growly! Lastly, i wanted to see what happens when you get lit up by triple-A, and still have enough control to crash into them, ejection or not.. well done video!

[@worldbreaker1023]

Best ejection ever. Well done

[@FJFuentesCO]

Nice! Another Harrier video! Decided to pick up this module and really liking the flexibility.

[@jessemururia6365]

Sometimes I wonder what if dcs could implement squad type of gameplay whereby if you crash behind enemy lines you fight for your survival until you get rescued by your side after ejecting

[@AnytimeBaby78]

Love the harrier , brilliant design , and on a side note , the AA ground crew can sure tell your shiloutte from others😂

[@VEGABRICCS]

I really love these mission type videos with a mix of atg & ata combat

[@erikcourtney1834]

That Harrier looks amazing with the shark paint. My wife loves it and knows nothing about fighters

[@enochlearns6132]

Excellent. That ending scene was awesome. Great job in the Harrier. I enjoyed that.

[@AdamWalkLikeSuicide]

Loving the Harrier content ❤ Big thank you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@danieldunlap4077]

Absolutely interested in watching a video from a cold war server.

[@Occasional-Win]

I shouted “eject” as soon as I saw that Master Caution light come on. You really cut that one close! Very spicy

[@DEADmetal3]

The Hollywoodesque ejection sequence made me laugh. Watching your videos is one of good ways to spend time while drinking the first coffee cup of the day.

[@yungcaco1443]

That’s the craziest ejection I’ve ever seen 😂

[@danpatterson8009]

That one goes in the "damn was I lucky" video. Shark motif suits the Harrier.

[@branjosnow6244]

That paint job is sick!

[@dougmccoy1260]

It's great seeing the shark teeth. My dads B24 in china, Miss Conduct, had quite a set of teeth and nose art that my parents wouldnt let us kids see.

[@WhiskeyDale]

that shark paint scheme looks great on that Harrier

[@sogerc1]

Wow, you were safe by like 3 meters! Very entertaining! Tomorrow's video too, I watched them in reverse order.

[@lonl123]

Whew, you just barely made it out. (Though you probably ended up being a POW) Very dangerous battlefield. Would love to see you prosecute targets with an 80's era F-15 in that environment. I used to work on the Harrier and it's a lovely aircraft, but F-15 would be a lot more survivable and you could carry more ordnance. Fantastic video as always.

[@BobH809]

Looks like you may have got a little toastie there GS at the end. Great to watch as usual, and lots going on.

[@DavidSteele]

The shot looking up from the tank level as the Harrier ran home the attack was especially cinematic!

[@MichaelRacer]

Even though the US Marine Corps plans on retiring the Harrier, that jet still kicks ass!

[@HeWhoMurksWithOneLeap]

PS1 Game, Eagle One Harrier Attack! Made the Harrier my favorite jet as a kid. 💪

[@m.searay4629]

Nice shark's teeth and that was one heck of an ejection!

[@XwhiskeysXgaming]

"We are POW's now I guess" lol. That skin is dope af.

[@BwfVid]

That's one of the "zeroes" of a zero-zero ejection seat!

[@strykerR6]

i frikin love this channel.

[@corvobatarin6785]

The Harrier pulled a Protocol 3 there at the end :) Kicked you out with the explosion o7

[@RW-ee4mb]

LMAO.... and you stand up after that ejection.... good stuff GS keep the videos coming

[@flightsimstuff5417]

Dude...I just noticed - you have over a half-million subscribers. Nice work!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you, and yes it’s been a very interesting journey.

[@perryax5490]

It looked as if the Explosion blasted him out of the plane like in the cartoons!

[@WornyTheHun]

Lovely paintjob! Awesome video!

[@theBlankScroll]

GS: "hey relax" Also GS: *immediately flies under tree branches* Flight computer: "Am i a joke?"

[@ShoGunGrebby420]

Those boys on that AAA cast some Harry Potter type spell on your plane... they said "Yeetus-Deletus" and anything vital to flying came off your bird.

The bomb run on that tank column was epic.

I don't play DCS. Don't need to. This is outstanding entertainment for me!

[@nathanreece1743]

[@ohalrighthen4301]

That has got to be some kind of record for long jump and bum skid in World of DCS.

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

The Harrier is the one plane that doesn't have pilots. It has aviators. (AV8ors)

[@Ghareeban]

"Caesarean delivery"-style ejection. 🤣

[@thedishonoredamerican129]

That first MiG did not launch flares nor did he check six. Just goes to show how important watching your rear is.

[@timsullivan4566]

I somehow don't think "spicy ejection" quite covers it! 😆😆😆

[@garykleinsteuber4529]

Full on Mission Impossible ejection sequence!

[@Memyselfanddave2724]

"How late can someone eject?" GS: "Yes"

For help identifying the aircraft, if you lock a sidewinder on, then the DMT will slew to the target.
