Thanks again guys Much Love.

[@skyhorseprice6591]

GS, do people flying on your server know it's you when they encounter you? Or, do you have some spy vs spy callsign like _The Wet Duck Flies At Night_ ,or maybe, _Slightly Snarly AMRAAM_ ?😂🤣 *asking for a friend* 😅🤣😂🧐😱😁💥

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

@@skyhorseprice6591 looool no, when I fly on my server I fly under different names. so they have no idea its me.

6:00 I'd bet my last AIM-54 that guy's flying with Jester. Can't tell you how many times that little shit has gotten me killed because my own dispense switch was set to flares and Jester couldn't be bothered to chaff on his own initiative.

GS is now being officially drafted into the Swiss Air Force...

[@dwyderdom]

its even more accurate since he used a f-18 legacy hornet

I feel like Finnish Air Force would be more apt seeing that he’s shooting down Flankers. Then again, Finland doesn’t have mountains really…

I don't think the official su-27 has thrust vectoring in DCS. Regardless, it did get a bunch of people

Most Su-27s don't have thrust vectoring and it doesn't need it to do the cobra.

[@mr.boomsticks3068]

Dear Mr. Growling Sidewinder, I am a fan of your content and always am excited to see a new video from you. I know you get lots of comments asking you to fly this and that so I will try to make this different. I have been flying the F-15 for a while now and love seeing you fly it in your videos, however I do humbly request that you fly the F-15C on your DCS server and demonstrate the BVR capabilities of the Eagle . thank you and have a great day! Mr. Boomsticks

[@jjay3494]

That's funny, after a few minutes watching this video I caught myself moving my head around to get better views.

[@chewyfoks1840]

Man, the free Caucasus map looks stunning. Great video GS

I feel like there is a non zero chance that Flanker was Drewski, he loves the mountain flanker fighting

I so wish I could afford the equipment for DCS. The Hornet would definitely be my starter aircraft.
