    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, F-4 Phantom, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

      Hey man, I was just wondering if you could do a video with a side by side comparison of the standard F-4 detail to the Heatblur. The air intakes look amazing, so I'm just curious as to how much more detail they put into this thing. I mean I know they smashed it, but it would be great to see it in different angles. And great video man.

    66 years ago, the F4D first flight on May 1958. It's fitting that HeatBlur has dropped it now. Design start, I haven't found yet. She's 38' x 58' BigBird. As a kid, this must have been what I heard breaking the sound barrier from Wurtsmith AFB in the 60's from Saginaw, Michigan.
    B52's were stationed there and we drove up one Sunday afternoon to see some of what was going on. I don't remember much of what I saw. It was a long ride and my fascination for planes started here. My neighbor built high detailed model replicas that were weathered and worn and he built me a Hawker Hurricane to play with. Still my favorite prop plane.
    The distinct raised wing tips and dropped tail elevators made this jet readily recognizable from any angle.

    I have to say, after going from the newer platforms like the 18 and 16, one never really understands how useful and amazing having a HUD in modern aircraft really is. During my first time playing this, I spent more time getting use to the instrument panels and where to look to get the information I needed rather than glancing at a HUD. Takes a good bit more situational awareness to fight one of these older fighters than the new.

    Video idea: I-16 "Donkey" vs Su-57 Felon

      I second this fight. Oddly, early designation for SU-57 was for an American GMC T48 Half-track used in WW2 by Russia. a Tank killer.

    These Phantom vids are great. However, that gun kill is still evading you.

      He seems a lot more confident in the Phantom than in the Tomcat.

    Do you select which tail flash you want for any specific reason? Or just collecting them all?
