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.

Too short

[@CoinSnobz]

Ironically I was just feet away from both the F-4 and the Mig-21 not even a half an hour ago at the Commemorative Air Force at falcon Field. I get home and you've got this match up! CREEPY.....

[@nymalous3428]

Neat!

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Falcon Field in Mesa?

[@CoinSnobz]

@@jesuschrist-alphaomega Yes sir!

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

@CoinSnobz nice that's my territory an gateway airfield. I work with PHI at falcon field n united rotorcraft at gateway

[@halnineooo136]

The whole point of the phantom was not to merge 😅

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

And how wrong they were about that

[@DDayJayke]

@@GrowlingSidewinder That's only because you were in the cockpit...

[@bradygilmore6135]

And it happened all the time lol

[@Anarchy_420]

@@halnineooo136 lmao even The F-22 has a gun bc of lessons learned! Besides what do you think will happen when 2 5th gen aircraft square off and have extreme difficulty finding, tracking, and locking. Lots of data suggest that a merge would be a great possibility!

[@rickchisholm5019]

Was hoping to see a GS tent at the London Airshow.

[@subjectc7505]

The dual launch was crazy 🤣

[@BlastGT1]

Color me very impressed with Shotgun's fighting style. You can tell the man REALLY studies his planes and learns how to get as much as he can out of them, as well as being a very wily and savvy pilot. This video was a brilliant showcase of both of you guys' flying abilities and mastery of your jets.

[@rollenford08]

Great video man. Love watching you do different missions

[@realitysux_0128]

Dude, when it’s you v shotgun or toxic, it’s always a fun fight to watch!

[@billyruffian1426]

It has to be said, the Phantom looks like a jet should look.

[@gamlaman]

Really? To me it looks like someone strapped oversized jet engines to a misshapen brick.

[@BlastGT1]

Agreed, one of the best looking fighters in my humble opinion.

[@user-pg4qh8qj7e]

@@gamlaman By brick you mean wings? The F-4 is nothing but wing and engine. Mig-21 is just a brick with enough thrust to get it into the air.

[@Favoki]

MiG-21 is such a pretty plane imo

[@rmp5s]

It is really cool looking. Kinda like the 31...they're fighter planes 8 year old me would draw. lol

[@BBBJOT]

it looks cool but pretty is the last thing it is

[@chpet1655]

Well so,embody has been practicing with the Mig-21 ! Well done Shotgun

[@stevendandrea5348]

“For a brick, he flew pretty good.”

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

just put power on it! I remember our pilots saying a Monkey could fly n F4 but it takes a wizard to land one.

[@theandf]

That first dogfight with Shotgun... the guy pulled some impressive maneuvers with the Fishbed. Excellent. He may be your best opponent so far (no disrespect to Toxic!).

[@littletweeter1327]

Also more Shotgun please, he’s really fun to watch

[@PhillipChalabi]

GS, you are quite talented at catching fox-2s, not often you see someone catch two at once. 🤣

[@littletweeter1327]

Not sure why but your content has felt a lot fresher recently, I dig it.

[@mattdavis8899]

If Shotgun is short you should call him sawed off :)

[@VigilanteAgumon]

Day 72 of asking for a modern Falklands scenario: Typhoons and Lightnings vs. Falcons

[@OJGAMING2]

Except that’s not modern is it. Typhoons and lightning’s???? The harrier was in between those.

[@jamimanful]

@@OJGAMING2 you might be thinking of the WW2 planes? He means the Eurofighter and the F-35. The Typhoon, and the lightning.

[@BigDaddyG1738]

I want to watch the video now since I've seen you asked so many times😂

[@timonsolus]

How about either Typhoon OR Lightning (UK would not have both there at the same time).

[@Nightrunnergunner]

Make it day 6448 😂 nobody cares bout those requests

[@marvel9r421]

Mig 21s often used ambush hit n run tactics on slow lumbering bombers, fire both missiles, fire their cannons, and rtb. North Vietnam only had so many in their arsenal, so they seldom used Mig 21s sparingly. Avoiding any fights with Phantom pilots. They would use camo paint schemes to blend in with the jungle below and come from low and fast.

[@jayaneyon9316]

The mig 21 is way more maneuverable and agile than I thought

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

I'd like to see you match up the 104 against the 21.

[@HornWorm8]

As a Forman Airman DAMN, I love this channel.

[@nymalous3428]

Nice fight. You have got some high quality opponents. This one seemed very willing to push every possible envelope and try different things to see what worked.

[@michaelfisher6881]

Just on time, whiskey, cigar and a dog fight : )

[@snakeplissken1754]

Wife: Hey honey how is your day? Husband: dogfighting a m21 in a brig, might take a while. Wife: it's ok, I leave your lunch on the stove. Love you.

[@timewarppodcast8019]

The Hunt for Colonel Tomb.

[@Mikethemerciless11]

Hey. Do an F-5 Tiger fight with a MiG-21. That's always enjoyable. Make it a Fox-1 fight.

[@roberttherrien352]

That is a hell of a good Mig 21 pilot. That thing is a pain.

[@Adam-h6m7y]

love your videos man, keep it up 👍

[@Pingolinou]

Commrade shotgun earned himself a chest full of medals. Ura ura ura!

[@duffelbag5682]

i watched this video on the clock, thanks for a banger man

[@markmoon2766]

Great vid. If that's a North Vietnamese MiG-21 you are fighting, the engagement must be taking place in FAR North Vietnam /sarc.

[@marchills4131]

What? No tie breaker? This isn't European football!!!

[@MarMar_fromkamaile]

Love the content brother!

[@bitmanagent67]

ROUND 1: F-4 gets DP'd ROUND 2: F-4 capitalizes on slow Mig

[@jettblack9696]

Closer but I still need f-15c vs f-4e dogfight

[@terryfreedom9742]

Playing some Hyper at the end. Sweet choice

[@aarondrennan5650]

Why don’t we see a MiG 17 or 19 vs the F4? Those were more frequent in Vietnam.

[@theandf]

The Mig 21 had an impressive showing in Vietnam, many Vietnamese aces scored kills with it (yes, against Phantoms too!)

[@btsbushido2036]

Would love to see you try the iron eagle movie fights

[@busterdee8228]

Good nostalgia matchup.

[@warrenj38]

You are really on an F4 kick. Anymore SU57, F22, F35, SU30, etc coming anytime soon?

[@ReiMonCoH]

I’m wondering what all this twisty turny stuff looks like from the ground

[@jackjetpilot]

Great fight!

[@andersjjensen]

The F-4 is just a butt fugly plane, but it makes for interesting fights as everything doesn't happen overly quickly.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

all perspective my friend, that F4 is not pretty by any means, Its a badass mean machine.

[@theandf]

I think the Phantom looks pretty, go figure. One of my first scale models, too. I like the Fishbed too, mind you.

[@maxjosephwheeler]

*WTH.....Dual missile launch!*

[@minuteman3]

GS The problem you actually have is you flew a Navy F-4. If you flew the USAF version, you would have killed them in 30 seconds.

[@DxHlb1491]

A10 VS F35 please

[@curtisbartlett8170]

Speed kills!

[@thatbirbfriend2180]

Try a same aircraft fight f4 v f4?

[@TheM00ntasir]

During wartime, and in reality, do merges happen? Or pilot tries to shoot from far? What is the norms?

[@Anarchy_420]

Please fly The F-4 VS The A-4 Dogfight!🙏👍

[@p7outdoors297]

I second this

[@p-47thunderbolt57]

He actually has. If you search F-4 A-4 on his channel, you should see a couple.

[@Anarchy_420]

@@p-47thunderbolt57 no I should kno bc I made the request years back lol and he did it backwards, you will find him flyin The A-4 VS The F-4

I'd say overall, Shotgun won this set of engagements. You got KIA'd in the first round, he managed to eject in the second round.
