    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.

    Fun fact about that F-18 Hornet's paint scheme: In the 1970s, US aviation artist Keith Ferris invented a false canopy to paint on the underside of military aircraft, directly underneath the front of the plane, the purpose of which was to camouflage the direction the aircraft is heading in order to confuse the adversary in a dog fight. (the A-10 Warthog utilizes the same thing)

    I'm a total F14 fanboy and often wish or wonder what would have been had they continued with modernizing the Fat Cats to D models and developed the Super Tomcat. So, the Hornet suffers a bit when doing so.... But I'm always excited to see the CF188 fly on your channel.

      I'm an F-16 fanboy and I wish we'd got to see the naval F-16 instead of the F/A-18.
      But variety is the spice of life so I think flight sim community got the best outcome out of it all.

      Super Tomcat 21 would've dominated the skies as well as the F22 does, I have no doubt. But Grumman was blackballed then to make way for that luscious Boeing lobbying.
