I was assigned as an engineering officer to the RSAF in the early 80's and the base I was on flew Lightnings. Extremely impressive! Unfortunately, one plane and pilot was lost on the gunnery range during my stay. I got to know the maintenance group well and got to 'fly' the Lightning simulator. However I 'crashed' the simulator after running out of fuel attempting to land!

Was that the Thunderbirds theme in the beginning?

This is fascinating and well done. Thank you for some hidden history.

EEL is what you get when you force feed baked beans and tea to a MiG-21. Came beacuse of your comment on my video, stayed for the F-15 banner and pfp (3000 F-15EX for 15. brigada letalstva in PZO in my opinion)

Ngl this plane looks like mig 21 that has gained a bit of weight

we captured lots of arms and tanks and bilions of wepons from jna

I had no idea that DCS world was not only used in physical flight simulators, but flight simulators made from actual parts of the planes being simulated

Nice! I did not have idea about the incursions to Austria. You could make a video about the creation of the Croatian Air Force and their migs!

now, that was Perfect spoken English :) I could undertand some.

I recently visited Slovenia. Very beautiful and historical country. And great story and video.

Thanks for the charming story. Appreciate the research that went into it, and the appreciation of a good Gazelle.

Nice somebody remembered this story. But it is very incomplete. There was a lot going on in the preparation and the logistics of the detection. It was , actually, much more exciting than portrayed in this video.

I wasn't expecting this story to be about how Slovenia acquired its first military helicopter, but that's a hell of a way to get your first helicopter. I think it's awesome that you're making these videos, historical stories like these should not go untold, and you do it with a professional but easy-to-understand way.

Why not in COD?! 🤔

Great little documentary! Keep the nice work up! The yugoslav wars were always quite a complicated mess from my foreign (🇨🇿) point of view, full of untold stories, in which i became interested quite recently. And with your aviation content, there goes subscribe! ❤

I suppose even a short war can produce interesting incidents like this one

Briefing seemed to indicate flying a model with 4X20mm + 6X.303, but wings have 4X.50, or am I being too picky. I just like to know what the armament is and how it would be best utilized. Great vid! Thanks! Beaufighters are very interesting aircraft with their diversity and balance.

That's a great video and a great looking livery, too!

GG!! NICE !!

dawg 1995 is this good 😮

Awesome man!

You did a magnificent job, love it!

Grinding war thunder japaneese tech tree, hopefully will get this plane soon

you should try to add some kind of filter over the video to make it look more 2D

I can already tell this is gonna be the best anime of the winter season

The last seconds before touching down did probably include (EDIT: nope, landing gear was live and kicking; caution: steep sink rate by landing autopilot which deactivates seconds before touch down (then raise the nose somewhat to reduce sink rate) combined with heavy fuel tanks) you pushing "g" to extend the landing gear (thus the text "crash landing due to gear collapse" at the debriefing screen), so the status went from dark (up) to red (extending), but did not reach green (fully down and secured). If in doubt land with gears up (the undercarriage of the tornado is designed to withstand that stress level) or accelerate and go around one more time without touching the ground (which will immediately decrease speed rapidly due to heavy friction forces).

If mods for games are also to be considered, there's a very detailed Operation Desert Storm mod for Strike Fighters 2, remade entirely for the 30th anniversary, first released in 2021. I lead a team of fantastic modders in its development. It offers the most complete and accurate order of battle with over 140 aircraft, each aircraft and squadron even having correct decals and serial numbers, and with all units beginning missions when they did in reality. That recently released AAA first person shooter got the Gulf War terribly wrong, no date for its missions matches what really happened (the Coalition ground forces crossing into Kuwait in early February is a huge WTF)

I really, REALLY wanna get into DCS in a big way. Been playing flight Sims since Janes Fighters Anthology but I'm afraid that my wife and kids will never see me again...

That is a very lucky Frogfoot

Damn, a game made 2 years after desert storm, kinda rare sight these days

Operation Grandby, January 1991. Never forget.

An unmatched Advanced Mission Planner. It has stood the test of time for the past 31 years!

Nice job !

Great mission. Atmospheric!
