SR-71 Blackbird With F-14 Tomcat | DCS World

[@pythonuploads5027]

best content for sure

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks so much

[@brabhamfreaman166]

Longshot really putting out some quality content recently. Great storylines & narration with those unique cinematic cuts we’ve come to know and love.

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks

[@dcvoltzz4472]

background sound effects foreground cinema shots...all building the tension.. Spielberg would be impressed

[@firebald2915]

Never would I have guessed this scenerio. Well done, LS !

[@bjeh001]

Some of your most pulse pounding work, LS, especially the part where you blacked out spoofing that missile. I was absolutely riveted to this like a good action film!!

[@LongShotChannel]

Thank you, glad you liked it

[@Dusther210]

Amen

[@erikreuterskiold5996]

Agree. The low rumbling sound effects and occasional cinematic grinding sound really did it for me. High speeds where riveting. For some reason i get SW trench run feel from this, protecting those Y-wings. Red-5 anyone?

[@dstavs]

The SR-71 and F-14. Two of the most beautiful planes the US has ever built. And displayed beautifully in this excellent video.

[@kugelblitzkrieg]

And both forced out of service by Dick Cheney, man lives up to his name lol

[@SuperiorAutocraft]

The moment the Phoenix came off the rail as the Tomact went inverted and dropped flares was poetry.

[@2ZZGE100]

Man F-14 Tomcat is just so impressive. Wow! This thing is a pure air dominance platform. That climb in full afterburners to catch the Foxhound when the Foxhound was chasing the SR-71 was insane

[@davecolwell725]

Yeah, this video is one of your best. Rockin work can really see you're upping your editing game and storytelling work. You deserve as many subs as GS.

[@JohnL2112]

LS, for that last shot you overtook the mig supersonic as the pilots ejected. They probably crapped their pants so hard.

[@shadowrainexia]

SR-71 Pilot: "You! You are still dangerous... But you can be my wingman anytime!"

[@LongShotChannel]

LOL😜

[@SuperTurbocoupe]

“That was a mess” No. That was amazing.

[@stevenborgogna]

I love watching the Tomcat in full Dorito mode.

[@cleversonsutil4495]

During the 90's I played EA/Janes ATF (Advanced tactical Fighter) and one of the missions in a campaign was to defend an Aurora spyplane that had engine failure. It was really great! You had to engage the fighters but also keep an eye on any threath to the spyplane.

[@ForestBlue7]

This vid kicked ass man, dig the scenario as well as the high speed aircraft represented.

[@Nellinator23]

Jester saying "420 blaze it" has been the high point of my day. Excellent video, sir

[@RSMoeskies]

This video hits different.....felt like I just watched a short story war of an air fight documentary!

[@LongShotChannel]

That's nice, thanks

[@Pablo_lens]

Just revisited this channel after a couple months, and I must say that the videos have become so much better. Hats off to you and your hard work. I can't wait to see you hit 100k. It's gonna happen soon

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks so much

[@rafaelcapili8890]

Same👍 I wacthing LS 100k Subscriber i like her Content intense battle by F-14 TOMCAT VS MIG-31 FOXHOUND

[@echotreegolf457]

Am I crazy or did your RIO say “420 Blaze It” at 5:50?

[@aviationist1018]

Im hearing the same thing

[@benn454]

I heard it too

[@wolterbalthazar5739]

Editing never disappoints! Love the vids

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks!

[@revejmal]

One thing I've learned from Longshot, is that he is lucky as heck and a damn sniper.

[@TheCruelbeans]

Well done LS! This video was very engaging, action packed and thrilling. Kept me engaged through the entire video.

[@nemisis_wolf]

Love these mission style vids, that Longshot puts out. We all love GS but adding a story to a fight makes the tension so much better and exciting to watch. Keep up the great work Longshot.

[@XiaOmegaX]

That cut to replay at the moment of blackout to keep suspense up is art.

[@TheGoddamnBacon]

Wow, this gives horror movie vibes right from the start. This had to be fun to make. Well done.

[@brianwaldo2642]

This was like dodgeball, only with missiles 😮.

[@ed4709]

Beautiful 👍🏼 Love SR-71 and F-14!

[@taylorc2542]

How a Tomcat chased down a MiG-31 I'll never know.

[@heathb4319]

The Mig can only do short burst of top speed or it will destroy the engines. The Tomcat can run wide open till his fuel is gone. He also has the Aim 54 Pheonix which can reach way out there and run them down annnnnd he doesn't have to run them down...just head them off and distract them from a different vector.

[@Tapochek6996]

​@@heathb4319Speeds at which engine damage occurs are ~3000 km/h. Cruise speed of Mig-31 is 2500, at which it can fly as long as the fuel allows

[@2ZZGE100]

Short answer. Altitude. Engines and airframes perform differently across altitudes and IMN. It all depends on what their objective is. MIG-25 needs high altitude and thin air to go fast up to Mach 2.8 while Tomcat was faster in low altitudes. Mach 2.5+ test was performed only at 50,000 feet in the 70s. This was a real world tactic Tomcat pilots pulled against MIG-25s during hte 80s in confrontations against MIG-25. Drag them down into thick/dense air. Keeping them engaged in thick air and F-14s were able to chase the MIG-25s. There is even an actual HUD video of LT Cmd. Bucci's F-14 locked on a MIG-25 in full afterburner chasing it in thick/dense air. The MIG-25 trying to out-maneuver and F-14 easily keeping the lock on while trying to get clearance to shoot, but was not authorized. The MIG-25 needs to climb very high to escape. Tomcat does not fly at 80,000 feet in very thin air. It was in thick air where Tomcat's engines have much better performance and can go faster in thick air because of how the engines were tuned. Also, F-14 is like an arrow with the wings swept back with a very small cross section so it has much less drag in thick/dense air (It can go Mach 1.3 at only 50 feet).

[@cam-lg4bc]

The intensity, suspense, story, I felt like I was watching the scrapped ending from the original top gun. LS, that was great.

[@icaleinns6233]

Loved this scenario! My only question is What the HELL was the Blackbird doing down in the cons?!?? He shoulda been FL900+!

[@Danlovestrivium]

As pointed out in the beginning of the video, the SR-71 was experiencing engine problems which made the possibility of intercept by the MiGs a more likely scenario for the sake of this exercise. The engine troubles of the SR-71were what was feeding the urgency of the F-14 in this video.

[@akylaskarov2691]

Man, longshot's intros to these videos feel like cod campaign missions

[@codychild2665]

LS, dude, that was entertaining af. I love when the Big Cat has wings swept and the cans lit chasing down the Foxhounds. Great scenario and cinematics as usual. Going to watch again. 👏👏👏💪💪💪

[@drakkon_sol]

Longshot, this was a really cool video. The opening moves with that incoming missile was ballsy as hell.

[@theclassicliberal1915]

Incredible video. Intense, fast paced and full of uncertainty

[@LongShotChannel]

Check out the Store: www.longshotstore.com/ Join the Discord channel: discord.gg/drNE6bT Hey guys! In this DCS World Simulator video I'm in the F14 Tomcat helping an SR71 Blackbird against 4 MiG31 Foxhounds. Hope you guys enjoy!

[@jacobwatson1818]

My man, this was so entertaining. Can't say anything other than thank you.

[@mrlt1151]

Tomcat doing Tomcat things? Sign me up.

[@bishounenpooru]

Man it was like watching Top Gun hidden files haha amazing!

[@Duvstep910]

Anytime i see the Blackbird; I always think of how it's the only plane that existed whose defense mechanism is not chaff, not flare, not some fancy ecm systems; but to simply turn the afterburners on.

[@Danlovestrivium]

Back in the early days of the F-117, it didn't even have an RWR system. Pilots literally used to fly oblivious as to whether they were being tracked or not. THAT is crazy to think about these days, similar to what you're pointing out about the SR-71's lack of countermeasures.

[@jameswilliams1085]

Great story!! Great camera work!! Thank you!!

[@stevenborgogna]

"Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death ..I Shall Fear No Evil. For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing!"

[@LongShotChannel]

🤣💪👍

[@benn454]

"And I have a very angry dorito watching my back."

[@SledgeFox]

Great as always! But I can't enjoy shooting down a Foxhound. ;) Why would he start defending when chased by a Tomcat instead of accelerating is beyond me... The cinematics are again next level, the close flyby at the camera were amazing, thank you very much!

[@-fulcrumer]

These intros keep going better and better ! Keep 'em up my dude

[@jameskester7745]

That was awesome and riveting, almost started biting my nails when those hounds started engaging you, great video, and nice flying!

[@sety5591]

what's cool is the wing shape, we can feel the supersonic-ness of these dogfight by the wing shape.

[@revengefullobster4524]

Your content is getting great man! Love the stories and your collabs with GS. Keep it up!

[@johneldridge5129]

Love watching you and GS. GS is always so calm, Longshot seems more reckless abandon.......I like that

[@timsullivan4566]

Great seat-of-your-pants flying in a thrilling mission. Top shelf work!!!

[@E-Lighterswon]

Awesome show of force. Get the job done and then think about the consequences. "What just happened?" Shock and awe.

[@heikeh6784]

I Love the "Cat " but Blackbird ... Everybody who Saves a 71 will become a Saint.... Good Job Saint Longshot 😉

[@certinho76]

I'm loving this already. The video has just begun and I'm feeling that Top Gun $hit!

[@automotrizparatodos1816]

You should be making movies at this point, man, this is some pro level stuff...

[@LongShotChannel]

Thank you

[@unbentcrayfish]

That blackout was nuts

[@charleston-re3dw]

It would be fun to see modern fighters try to intercept the blackbird

[@joeschmoe1301]

Fantastic content!!! Longshot is upping his game!!

[@jimmynoo]

Bro this is AMAZING! HUGE PROPS!

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks

[@lilasnowflake5632]

Longshot trying not to make the most epic intros for his videos challenge: impossible

[@Edwilliamjr]

This is an awesome video, one of your best for sure. I like this kind of content with a little context and background, specially the cold war with Tomcats and Migs, the part you almost blackout was "holy sh*t" hahaha. This video shows why I love the F14...Excellent!

[@DallasGraves]

Good grief, talk about a knife fight in a phone booth. Good stuff!!!

[@CoolCarVideo]

Oh man great editing and camera angles, that was fun 👍

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks

[@CoolCarVideo]

@@LongShotChannel I think this should be your specialty. Throw yourself into furball and try to survive and then do some of your awesome editing. You could recreate the final battle of Top Gun 1 but instead of "Mig-28" use actual Mig-29s 😁

[@vxru5]

LongShot living up to his name at the end there. 😂

[@seatedliberty]

"This is Longshot, supersonic, I'll be there in 30 seconds".

[@LongShotChannel]

LoL😂

[@gregiep]

Great video! Would be a good scenario for a Two Morons video as well! Lots of things that could go wrong!

[@wuha4978]

I don't know if there is a saying in English, but I think even if you translate it directly, it will be understandable: "Like Hitchcock - first the earthquake, then the tension rises." So, this movie was quite an intense experience, as usual :D

[@danielberger1378]

Damn, man, you really know how to build up tension 😅🤘

[@simenbo797]

I love the ones with a story line and some context!! Keep it up! Still wanting a Flight of the intruder style Hanoi bombing run with sams and AAA guns tracing like 4th if july🤞🤞🤞

[@MichaelDonlinAwesome]

Awesome. Gripped the entire show.

[@grisslebear]

For authenticity, the SR-71 fly-by's should have 3 sonic booms.

[@alma4612]

Great editing! Love your style.

[@oskar6661]

Another great video. I mainly watch your channel now - and anything other than "1v1 in modern aircraft" gets a watch from me. I don't find simulator dogfighting interesting at all...but any scenario-based stuff is 100% more interesting.

[@bobbyshaftoe]

Great fight. More like this please :-)

[@Biggspeed]

Just Tomcat doing Tomcat things!

[@pastlast158]

Another very intense engagement 👏👏👏

[@man-o-war1685]

I’m very excited to see you hit 100k

[@-Hesco]

i woke up and this was the first video i watched while still barely awake and the anxiety of the fight woke my ass up quick lol

[@LongShotChannel]

LoL😜

[@tippership]

This was crazy- Blackbirds and Foxhounds running around at Mach 3 going for it, and a Tomcat gets into the high speed fight That last guy was a fool and didnt play to his strengths, as hit and run attacks at those top class speeds are how the Fox interceptors are sopowerful, not turning with a tomcat LOL I Hope we get more Mach 2 - 3 fights and scenarios! Frankly, if I had to try to save ablackbird with bats or hounds doing Mach 3, I'd want to be in a Raptor or Eagle, they have the best speeds to try to intervene and get weapons release with a boost to a AAM's speed. We need MOAR! / you know its a good day if blackbirds are involved and everyone 's sonic booming all over the place

[@timsullivan4566]

I see that you're not called LongShot for nothing! 👍👍👍

[@ohalrighthen4301]

That could very well be first LS supersonic gun kill...

[@zzgaming29]

I have a question, for some reason, the SR-71 isn’t showing up for me in DCS. I put it in mods, aircraft. I did the exact same thing same for the F22 and the Su57 and those worked. Do you why it’s not showing up?

[@edwinreid980]

One of your best LS!

[@radioactive9861]

Cool video, but I'm pretty sure the SR-71 never needed 'an escort'. But still, a cool video...

[@Junorr500]

Yep. Best yet.

[@Ilya__s]

This is the first time i comment on your videos, this was one is AMAZING ❤❤ Keep up the good content.

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks so much

[@anthonysantiago1999]

The CAT saves the Bird.. Love it.!!

[@sessions1617]

That was insane, maybe my favorite video from you..⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@jackhall290]

Nice Shooting Maverick, one more and youre an Ace haha

[@billclay3643]

This is an awesome scenario.

[@blightoblivion8015]

Quality content

[@jamesarnott6262]

What a really fantastic video. You are really good at this. Please make more like this! And thanks!

[@LongShotChannel]

Thanks so much

[@jimmynoo]

5:45 "420 Blaze It"

[@iceshadow207]

Man, would it be possible to attempt a mission (maybe like a training scenario) in which a Tomcat has to intercept a Blackbird using Phoenixes? 😁

[@PepperDog76]

Awesome content, thanks for the hard work!

[@fidem15893]

Great battle. Thanks!!!!

[@HughJassill]

That was badass.

[@thomasharden2727]

Nice work!

[@smeghead765]

Very cool scenario.

[@misterrock9720]

5:46 did jester just say 420 blaze it lmao

[@DowntownGoat]

Amazing work, brother!

[@LongShotChannel]

[@javieriniguez1444]

Love it! Keep 'em coming.

[@rona3150]

Favorite scenario by far!
