      Do you ever feel weird with the stick by your right leg rather than in between
      And do you ever forget your in a game and tense your muscles to resist the g force

    Back in the day when Lock On Modern Air Combat (LOMAC) first came out I was learning to fly the F-15C when a new member in our CoD section heard me talk about LOMAC and the F-15C. He was astonished seeing as he was a retired F-15C pilot that flew his first Phantom over Vietnam. Guess who became his wingman? He taught me how to not just fly the F-15C but to become absolutely lethal. Col. Ryan Torkelson USAF (Ret) RIP Brother

      Yeah, GS is great, but *sometimes* it *kinda* seems like one minor theme of his channel is "The F-15's not so great"...though, admittedly, he does often praise it. A major theme is definitely *All hail the Tomcat.* Also, cool as those videos are, I hate to say they're getting a little boring. He's memorized the flight characteristics of the planes, and every gunfight turns into just patiently running down the other plane. A fun channel, and a smart, funny guy...but seems kinda unrealistic. More like winning the game than simulating real air combat.

    Is that a real tactics that after the merge the F15 would start to turn arround at high G with vertical scan? I would think that in this scenario the F 15 would not risk it and would jups pass through and extend and from a distance to try again? That is a question not a comment as I do not know and I am asking for opinions.

Were going to attempt to use VR flight simming for the majority of the training. New concept with lots of added bonuses would be amazing to have a pilot with your experience on the project. Reach out if you see this and want to discuss our plans.

    Got an aviation question. RN it’s 115 freaking degrees in Texas and it got me thinking. Does flying in heat like this vs flying in the arctic make any difference in performance on the plane or the pilot? absolutely love the channel

    • @parker7833
      @parker7833 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Both for sure. If it is hot, air molecules are further apart by definition (less dense) so engines are less efficient. The difference between performance on a hot day and cold day is noticeable and even goes into the landing/takeoff roll calculations. For the pilot it makes a difference too, but fighter jets have good air conditioning because they are basically sitting in a greenhouse and would die otherwise. For GA flying, even without air conditioning, you can normally get high enough even on hot days such that you cool off pretty quick
