    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.

    F-14 plus the Top Gun programme gave the USN something special. No one wants conflict, but it's a real shame we never got to see what it could really do like we have with the 15/16/18. If airframe hours weren't a factor and foreign sales were better the Tomcat would still be viable and competitive today.

    They're supposed to have an Iranian F14a at the St.Louis air show this year. I'm excited even though it's Iranian.

    Know what I'd find super interesting? Some 2v2 fox2 dogfights.

    I don't care what anyone says -- the Tomcat is just a beautiful bird. Well done.

    Love these Fox 2 fights lately. Would love more teen series fighters with non HOBS Fox 2 fights

    I think these matchup results were mainly from mismatched pilot ability levels.

    Nice how the Viper’s wings always cleanly separate after it’s hit with a fox 2.

    F14 reminds me of my 08 expedition. Strong but when pushed struggle is noticeable lol
