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, F-4 Phantom, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

[@jeffsherk7056]

Thank you for all the F-4 Phantom action. I was at an air show at Forbes Field outside of Topeka Kansas in 1986. Four Kansas Air National Guard F-4Ds took off from a runway we couldn't see, and blasted overhead at very close to Mach 1. The thunderclap was unbelievable. I caught sight of the four aircraft just a split second before they roared overhead, and they were ahead of their own sound, so when I saw them, they were silent. Then came the thunderous BOOM. I have loved the F-4 ever since. It was so hot that day that I got lightheaded and opened my camera before I rewound the film (this was long before digital cameras). I lost photos of a lot of aircraft I never got to see again.

[@fyreantz2555]

It amazes me that an F-4 can carry more than twice the max normal bomb load of a B-17.

[@benn454]

Just a tiny bit more thrust from the J79s than the old Wright Cyclones. 😉

[@sadlerbw9]

So, I said yesterday that I'd like to see the Sparrows used more. Well, I looked into them a little more, and apparently the Sparrows, especially the early ones, had a hard time locking small targets. They were apparently meant more for hitting larger bombers when they first came out? Apparently the kill rate was only something like 10% for the earlier Sparrows in real world use as well, so I guess even if you did try to use them more, I shouldn't expect them to do much!
