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.

[@chriscolemusicalsound]

the inverted flat spin recovery at 1500 feet might be the greatest thing i've ever seen on this channel.

[@gripen777]

Better than Maverick did lol, and he was inverted at lower altitude

[@josiahvonb3426]

That was impressive, good ole maverick should have been taking notes.

[@steve390gold]

Can confirm that was amazing

[@heretolevitateme]

Literal magic. But I think not being thrown around by g-forces in a sim gives GS a much better chance than Mav had.

I'm really proud of Jester for not ejecting just at the sight of a raptor.

I can feel how he felt flying through his wakes. I flew with a phenom 300 through the wakes of a heavy Md11, that was almost the same shit 😅

[@Midicow]

I know it wasn't, but, from an outside perspective it almost looked like an intentional trickshot maneuver to get gunsight on the f-22

[@brianwright9514]

If I had a nickel for every time GS missed a gun kill because he forgot to select guns... I'd have like, at least 5 bucks

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Loooool you’d have much more than 5 bucks brother

[@kat13man]

GS is not only a great fighter pilot but also an excellent video director. His videos allow us to visually understand the combat and the tactical discussion at the end showing the ribbons for the aircraft as they duel is exactly what I want to see. Hats off to GS for these videos.

[@firebald2915]

The best of everything. Matlock needs to investigate that vehicular homicide. Then get Denny Crane at the insurance company payout.

[@LotionSoronarr]

I read "NOT a great fighter pilot" and was about to open a can of whoopass after him downing an F-22 and missing 2 more sure-kill opportunities to do so, but then I realized I misread.

[@j.59]

1000% I’ve learned more than I ever thought

[@williamtaftt]

props to ED honestly. i had no idea that they would have modeled the jet wash coming off of the engine of another plane, but its incredibly cool that they did

[@Amram81]

if your physics simulation is complete enough, you get all sorts of ancillary "features" for free.

[@inorite4553]

@@Amram81 Yeah....like getting hit by a car when you try hitchhiking your way back home.

[@jm56585]

@@Amram81 I woudn't think they would be running full on real time fluid simulations though, so they probably modelled jet wash manually

[@jordananderson2728]

​@@jm56585Absolutely not. I have a friend who deals with fluid modeling for his job, and we joke that he spends his day rotating shapes, because he has to set up the sim, run it, turn the shape a little, run it again... CFD is wizardry and they have a dedicated supercomputer just to do it.

I now finally understand clearly the 1 circle and 2 circle fights. And also as rate and radius and offsetting! Thank you for this very clear and concise explanation!

[@kylobear7991]

I agree! I’m going to rewatch this lots

[@dsdy1205]

If you want a very easy way to spot the type of circle flow you're in, keep your eyes locked on the bandit as you turn. If the sky behind him isn't really moving, it's a 1 circle. If the sky is whipping past behind him, that's 2 circle.

[@siccmade425]

50 year old tech, literally about to tear itself apart, can come out on top against the the most (known) advanced tech available, is not only incredible, it's a testament of American aerospace engineering, and the ability of kick ass pilots to "know their plane". Fun and very interesting video brother!

[@dreaminknight]

And don't forget the Canadian pilot GS 😂

[@insertnamehere7574]

Goes to show that dogfighting is no longer relevant. A F22 engaging a Tomcat up close is a worst case scenario for the Raptor.

[@skull1161]

@@insertnamehere7574 And even then the F-22 can easily just point its nose wherever and end the fight with an aim-9x

[@squidin9347]

Oh man that Tacview debrief was elevating. I had an idea of what high-aspect or low-aspect shots were on paper along with one and two-circle fights, but the visual demonstration of what they were really helped solidify it in my head. Thanks for that!

[@miguelruiz8183]

That jet wash recovery was more impressive that that kill in round one GS!!!

[@scotthopkins2235]

This just shows how deadly the F-14 was and still is. The fact it even got a win is nearly unbelievable not to mention that flat spin recover!!

[@huttonfamily5064]

That has to be one of the best dogfights I've seen yet. Missed opportunity, yes, but still damn great flying. Especially the recovery from the jet wash on the 1st match.

[@barrylovatt9978]

The replay of the f14 recovering from the spin then fly over the falling F22 is probably the most epic thing I've seen on here

[@eg395]

That first round was FANTASTIC ! Unfortunately in the second round the white car got you. Darn it!!

[@worx2]

holy hell those wake turbulence moves

[@MinefighterLP]

The recovery of that jet wash was insane! Especially at that low altitude.

[@personM4N]

Low altitude recovery out of the wake turbulence, _AFTER_ shooting down over $100 million more airplane than you were flying. I almost stood up and clapped.

[@lordhickory3322]

I loved the little on-foot shenanigans after the eject at the end of round 2, funny and enjoyable! Keep up the great work!

[@abirsanu]

03:20 - that guy on the boat is like "What is going on here? Are they giving me honors circling around me like that or what?"

Survive getting shot down low altitude by an F22; only to be killed by a Honda Civic.

[@packrat-y7j]

Man everything about that from the mis-selected weapon to the flat spin recovery against an f22....this...is probably my favorite video now.

[@PhilTParker]

Great description of what I haven’t been able to grasp until now…the concepts of one circle vs. two circle fights. High aspect as well. Thanks GS!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

My pleasure, glad to be of service

[@BadAssEngineering]

LOL never thought the Top Gun Flat Spin because of Jet Wash could be true

[@slayerofmidgets3201]

In that first round when you started to flat spin your nose pointed at the f22 and I love to think he was watching you fly alongside him while pointing your nose in severe code brown

[@TheRealAaronSmith]

Does the rattle of the Tomcat remind anyone else of the bus they took to school that always seemed like it was just about to fall apart?

[@grizzlytitan]

One of the best videos that you have ever made. I really enjoyed the tac view analysis. Thank you so much for explaining all of this.😊

[@Ciaran500]

Holy sheet GS, that first fight was incredible.

[@Kyleplier]

I think it’s amazing that you literally pulled a move from the OG Top Gun that’s actually called “flat plating the bird” which uses the entire aircraft as an air brake dumping your speed and energy in a hurry. It’s almost impossible to anticipate and will almost always force an overshoot, unless the enemy pilot has god level reflexes and pulls off a high yo yo defensive maneuver which would keep him on your six.

[@homozaur]

“It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.”

[@madmax2069]

Or car in the last one.....

[@gwc_garage]

That was one of the best flat spin recoveries I've ever seen

[@evanenglish1695]

Gotta love the way, even though it wasn't on purpose, you pulled some f22 like moves after killing the f22 insult to injury

[@vized2415]

I absolutely LOVE those kind of tacviews in your videos GS. I instantly feel like hopping into my f16 and doing some dogfights. As always, great video man, you continue to deliver amazing content time and time again. Much love from Poland

[@wmolders8160]

That must be one of the most funny deaths in game, getting hit by a car. I hope that makes it into a highlight.

[@jeffschneider9516]

I have found your videos to be so educational and I've learned a lot about BFM from your detailed breakdowns. Would love to see a video from you that goes into the details of piston BFM vs jet BFM.

Bro really said in that first round "its not about the plane but about the pilot"

[@victoriasnell907]

GS, You are an amazing and talented pilot and instructor. I have watched every one of your videos and every day I check for your next release. Another way to determine if it's a one or two circle fight is what happens at an initial nose-to-nose (neutral) pass. If both aircraft turn across each other's tail, it results in a 2-circle fight. Looking down from above, there will be two different circles one for each aircraft. It will look like a big figure eight. If each aircraft maintains an identical turn RATE (often happens in a 1v1 similar aircraft fight) then they will have another neutral head-on nose-to-nose pass. If one aircraft has a better turn RATE than his opponent, then before the next pass, that aircraft will be the first to bring his nose to bear on the other aircraft. Often times as the fight matures, a 2-circle fight turns into both circles overlapping each other in a big tail chase. The aircraft with a better turn RATE will eventually win that tail chase. If at an initial head-on nose-to-nose pass, if one aircraft turns hard away from the other aircraft (basically kicks his opponent across his tail), a 1-circle fight is forced. Both aircraft are flying on the same circle even if one climbs or descends. But each aircraft has it's own turn RADIUS. The fighter with the tighter/smaller turn RADIUS will quickly turn inside the turn radius of the other larger radius turning aircraft. The aircraft with the smaller turning RADIUS will eventually generate "angles" on his opponent.

[@marcussilvertabby1433]

Momentarily lost visual with the white car, which performed an impressive U-Turn and closed fast, out rating the pilot who wasn't walking quick enough across the road. More likely to get killed on a road than in a plane, clearly simulated. Enjoying the flying skill and debriefs. Keep the good fights coming!
