This sets me a-thinking . . .
If they ever give you Lancs in DCS, try the dams raid carried out by 617 squadron.

@@grimreapers - Oh, obviously I missed that one. Oops.
Ok
Enjoyed very much and learned a lot.
Yo drum bombs, that ought to be fun
Drinking tea while talking about retaking the faulklands, this is the most british thing i've seen all day, and i Love it
I'm currently drinking tea!
@RE fan Exactly what I was thinking.
@@lclfav2 its all part of the ritual Cap slurps tea Claus Kellermen slurps coffee....Get with the plan!
I felt the stop for tea made the briefing more authentic. :D
1:25
imagine flying for 16 hours then missing the bomb
Like when i do CAP travel 200 nm then died with nothing that 🥵
Could be worse, could be real, could be longer, could be Operation Black Buck!
@@iain8837 could be worse, could have flown the whole mission just to crash into the damn airfield
Bruh
and then there is me..just downloaded DCS for free and it would not even let me log in with my steam... do I have to buy ANY set to be able to log in?
Quite realistic. Reminds me of when I used to do this for a living - too old now. Lots of things you can improve on if you really want to comms , sort plan, SOPs etc, but that might destroy the fun. Anyway, great video. It’s the final push I needed to get DCS and relive my past
Be sure to get a nice VR headset as well. Enjoy & thanks for your service
@@raza838 vr actually is pretty bad for dcs in my opinion. You can’t get a very high resolution, and I’ve messed up things because I couldn’t see my switches. You can always get irtrack or a facecam and software.
Weird flex
@@schlagsahnett5532 any feedback is now just “flexing.” You guys have to learn that this is advice. This is just people telling their story.
How does it make you feel to play DCS? Do you feel as though you are missing out from not feeling the G-force or does it assist flight?
"Longest range bombing mission ever done"
I would've thought the B-52H's that went from Ohio to Iraq and back would've been the longest.
Bismarck B-2’s from Missouri to Afghanistan and back
Edit, didn’t watch that much into the video lol
@@joeyhayes3137 no B2s you mean. B52s would've probably been coming out of Guam or Diego Garcia. It's the B2 that runs the round trip.
Ohio to Iraq = 6,311 miles. England to Falklands = 7,947 miles
@@joeydunn9358 There are no B-52s in Ohio. They are usually based out of Minot SD or Barksdale LA
Dave Smith well ok then lol I was just clarifying distances for the original comment 🤷🏻♂️
Nothing brings more joy to my heart than seeing a KC-135R with the Block "D" from the 100th ARW at RAF Mildenhall. I was stationed there from 1992-1995. I have the Block "D" tatted on my arm along with my US Air Force tat.
I worked on that one specifically as a maintainer just a few months ago. I can’t remember what the mascot for that aircraft was though.
35:50 Cap accidently Iron Eagles himself. LMAO!
I live in Northern Michigan - USA (not to be confused with other possible Michigans). One day I was walking along a dirt road in Leelanau county when I heard a strange, almost hauntingly mellifluous sound. I looked up and what should my wondering eyes behold but an Avro Vulcan - it's Olympus engines drowning out the red-winged blackbirds with stunning British decibels and filling the sky with British Auditory Splendor. 'Now that!' I thought 'is a proper aeroplane.'
Hey Michigander! I'm a Western-Michigander :) Cheers from Lake MI!
Maybe visiting Wurtsmith, the old SAC base up near there.
@@Coastoghost I actually looked it up. I believe it was doing a run on the Nuke plant that used to be in Charlevoix. It as a popular practice target for SAC. Not sure where it flew out of though.
@@mattfairfield9103 Traverse City here.
@@fondueset6034 even cooler, thanks!
I love that you can hear Cap sipping his tea right after singing the Vulcan's praises, as if reinforcing his British pride.
@Martin Jansen sip = SLURP ! ;)
1:40:10 very nice touch with the Ace Combat 6 music
Just some background on the Falklands war. The "Ronnie Rambo" had the US Marines sitting on the airfield waiting to deploy if England lost one more ship, as well as the US Air Force launched EVERY Spy Sat they had on standby during the 2 weeks leading up to the war. Was a really fun time to be in the US Marines at that time. Ran into some of your Navy guys in 82' in Naples IT and had a few beers.
Captain: “Guys? Would you judge me if I peed into my cup?”
Unknown: “...Only if your stream it.”
Sounded like Kingston, but I don't think he flew this mission.
Giorno: Give me
look, any EVE player will know it by a different name, THE BATTLE BUCKET
or in this case the Combat Cup
@@Ami_BK Praise be the battle bucket (please I don't want to go back to those days)
It's a dam shame the tomcat is not in service anymore. What a beautiful machine. Still get to see one on display at Rhode island airshow. And its actually one of the ones they used in topgun.
Technically it's still in service, for Iran :)
During lockdown, if you're bored, watch this at 0.25x normal speed - there's half a day gone! :o)
😝
Don't forget to stock up on weed in that case. "Incresing global attention span!"
This is some of the coolest shit I've ever seen.
I actually saw the Vulcan here in Denmark as a kid. It was in the 70's. It flew very low and slow. I still remember, that it was huge. Those wings where nearly unrealistic huge. Kind of scary.
I will never forget it.

Your "long spiel" was mighty interesting. I was 12 at the time and listened to the news every hour for the latest details. EDIT: I watched way more of that than I care to admit. Really nice in so many ways, including comms, in-flight refuelling and storm landing. It was great to see the guys (mostly) get back. What an epic mission.
I've been binge watching this Cold War Campaign the last few days. Someone on Reddit directed me hear. I never thought I'd be watching people play a video game for this many hours, Lol. The Arma 3 missions for this Campaign are excellent as well as the flying. This is like a Netflix show. Lol
I was same! Was amazing
Outwith airshows and documentaries, my enduring memory of the Vulcan was being a five year-old living in the north of Scotland. The distillery I lived at, the chimney, was used as a bombing run target at low-level. One particular day, and I can still see it, the Vulcan passed so low and right over my house I could clearly make out all the details of the underside still in its white livery. Have to say, at the time, my fave aircraft was the Vulcan's sibling, the Schakleton which had been moved to Lossiemouth.
Damn I envy you guys..
I've "played" Flaming Cliffs 1 and 2 for years and got quite good at it but well, life happens and now all I can do is watch your videos and remember how it was like to actually have free time :)
Cheers!
"Oh, why did I have two massive cups of tea before this?!?" ... HA! I was thinking the same thing listening to you slurping during the briefing Cap
lols! funny
Easy answer! If he didn't he would start turning into an American!
I liked this video! I like all the external views, it's like watching a movie. I like the high altitude formation stuff too, and the refueling as well!
As of 2001, the longest bombing mission ever was flown by the B-2 bomber, Spirit of America, when it flew continuously from it's home base in Missouri to Afghanistan, out of Afghanistan, then back in for another bombing mission, then finally touching down in Diego Garcia after 44 hours and 18 minutes airborne. With it's engines still running, it was refueled, oiled up, the crew was swapped and it flew back to Missouri. It was a total of 70 hours from engine startup to shutdown.
Also they should really add the Fullback. It would be closest thing to a bomber they could get without having to figure out how to do more than 2 engines and 2 crew.
How do you change oil and crew in mid air?
@Daniel Cunningham you don't. It landed in Diego Garcia, where it was fueled, oiled, and had a crew change before flying back to Missouri.
When you were born, is was going to intermediate school.
The iron lady. Her favorite show was yes, minster and yes prime minister.
Man, the largest cuppa of tea. Must be a cuppa of endless tea
A few other very long bomber Missions: The 509th Bomb wing executed both 44 hour and 70 hour long B2 bomber missions in October 2001 to Afghanistan. B52Gs from Louisiana flew 35 hour long missions (14,000 miles) to strike Iraq in GW1 (1991)...Long rides!
The US airforce still regularly carries out missions like that with b-52, b-1, and b-2 bombers. The b-2 imparticular can only be operated out of a base in the very middle of the US so every mission it carries out is more than a 10,000 mile round trip
@@calebcornelius8669 interesting, i wonder which plane dropped the mighty MOAB tho, my money's on the BUFF
@@killian9314 interestingly, only the c-130 or mc-130 can carry the MOAB. Like the older daisy cutter it cannot be carried by strategic bombers.
Maybe there is some confusion about longest and longest distance the Vulcan cruises at a slightly higher speed 570 v 510 I think , the Vulcan had a much much higher climb rate so missions that the B52 would do would naturally take longer to do , I love the B52 anything that can wipe out 2k by 10km with its ordnance is one hell of a weapon and it’s believed to be the only aircraft to clock up 100 years of service but the v bomber is absolutely beautiful
"Another perfect landing by Cap" :), what a great mission guys well done :)
oops
I served with the Navy during VF-31's last deployment. I will definitely NEVER forget a tomcat going unrestricted climb straight off the cat, full burner. Those birds could rattle your teeth out from 10 meters away.
You gotta be a special kind of geek to love this, all 2 hours 57 minutes & 36 seconds of it. Awesome.
Readying these bombers for the Argentinian strike was an engineering marvel. There is an excellent documentary about the Vulcan strike at The Falkland Islands, one of the most interesting videos I have watched. The plans for the strike itself and the solving of the fueling issue was brilliant.
Thanks to Cap for this walk down history. Britain 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
This campaign is getting better and better!
By the rate you push these videos out, I hope I can catch up over the Easter weekend...
Nothing like some good background Ace Combat music.
really cool at times, I'll check the earlier vids in the campaign out. Thanks Cap!
Man, if DCS puts any of the V-force into the game, I think I might faint
they won't. They require 5 crew members to operate properly, they would have to bodge it horribly to allow control from one person and everyone would end up unhappy.
@@neovo903 A7E should have this option and its already in development. Intruder would have it too but its till unclear if it will ever appear
The f14's look so badass in formation with the tankers at 36:10. You could make quite a few wallpapers out of this mission. 1:34:00 "look up and left you'll see you're being overtaken by the dominant force" Hahaha
1:40:08
You absolute madlad, I hear that music in the background. Playing Fires of Liberation just as you get into contact with the Flankers... fucking beautiful.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks Ace Combat music goes well with DCS.
As an insomniac, saying that this is 3 hours of 'Whale Sounds' is an observation, but also a heartfelt compliment. For the first time in months, I'm actually pleased that I didn't fall asleep. Thank you Grim Reapers.
1200 miles radio silence...
Got my Walkman and a case of early '80s cassettes!
"Don't you want me baby...!"
"Not so bloody low, Tomcat!" lol. I love watching bombing missions. "Booooom!" And great ending landing in solid fog.
i love the fact that these guys used a ace combat theme song
Which one?
Back in the mid 70s I stationed in England in near Oxford. I joined a local RAF sailplane club. One of our towplane pilots was also a Vulcan pilot.
cool
Wow! This has got to be one of the coolest simulations I've ever seen on TH-cam.
Another mission I watched from start to finish. Good lord that was long. Throughly enjoyed it!
25:03 has me dying JDAMS arent really COLD war era weapons.
43:26 God i love this petty humour, me dad is ex-RAF and all the time he pulls random stuff like this, calls me down as i'm going upstairs just to say "I wonder how far you would've gotten if i didn't call you"
Watching, about a third of the way through. The cinematics are fantastic!
1:11:08 Going in way too fast on the refuel boom. Miss.
1:11:37 Going in way too fast on the refuel boom again. Miss.
1:12:04 Nice and slow, good boom contact.
Aircraft: "Tom Cruise" xD
Thatcher and Reagan. The dynamic duo
Re: wing sweep difference at 01:31:05, I often manually sweep the wings back on a long flight to a combat area to conserve fuel. That could be what's happening there. More afterburner time for when things go south.
It fixes itself at 01:33:08, they snap forward.
36:00
Haha
Wasn't expecting that! Awesome 😀😎
Love this. great video. I love the history and backstory.
Discovering your channel in last cpl months, means I get to go back and watch all these cool & fun earlier missions.
awesome formation flying gr, looked amazing, keep up the great work, hope you all have a happy and safe easter
Overview - Argentine claims the Falklands island when Argentine declared independence in 1816, the attack on the Falklands island was due to unfortunate mixed messages in regards to Britain commitment to the defense of the Falklands and Argentine need to distract the Argentinian people from their problems. It's an over simplification of the situation but I don't to open a TH-cam history channel. Good video and I hope everything is going well.
"Who's the bumpy man? It's drowning out my slurping."
Seeing everyone conning around the tankers was gorgeous.
As a fellow Brit you slurp your tea like someone from a council estate! Sort it out cap ffs!
@@chrisoctane how very dare i indeed. Please except ones most humble apologies. Maybe it was a barn he was born and raised in hence the slurp!
Either way you know I was just taking the piss right. Lol
@@chrisoctane how dare you indeed, i also grew up on a council estate and last i checked tennants dosnt make tea
Love the 100th ARW representation on the tankers, greetings from suffolk!

not one bomb wasted on that run. really good job GR!
Loved the synchronized landing towards the end 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Incredible what you guys are doing! Will try keep up to date, see you in the future..
I've hated the legacy Hornets for years. Until I started working on them. Found out what they are for, what they do, and how good they are at their jobs. Now they are going away and it makes me sad. A fighter I've grown to love, and to know that within a year, I will probably never work on them again. Maybe it's how Tomcat guys felt.
yup I guarantee.
Honestly, I've never asked my uncle what he's thought of the F-18 being retired.
He was a USMC F/A-18 Hornet and Superhornet Aviation Electrician for 22 years. Showed me an F-18 when I first went to San Diego, California, for the Navy. What I found with the F-18 is that it is not a big plane. On the ground, I actually could look into the cockpit by stretching a bit.
I recently watched a documentary on the first bombing mission on the Falklands air strip. It was very entertaining and interesting. One of the crucial pieces of the mission that would allow the bombers to refuel was found being used as an ash tray in the lounge.
th-cam.com/video/PBJ99bIhAVk/w-d-xo.html
Watched that some time ago. Great show.
The Argentinians wrongly believed the Iron Lady feared a British Vietnam ; )
The Vulcan was an amazing aircraft. Fun fact, The UK "nuked" the US twice with Vulcans. Simulated of course. US covered it up till the 90's I believe. Operation Sky Shield 1 & 2 I believe.
These guys should reinact that but pointless if you cant actually use vulcans
Don't go burner to get there faster when fuel is limited. Climb high, cut throttle, and just glide down for a while at minimal throttle.
I really hope Cap has a huuuuge Wing Commander style moustache!!!!! ...now pay attention chaps!
I effing love the Vulcan, she was an absolutely stunning looking lady and her Olympus engines are legendary (obviously from the Concorde). When XH-558 was put back into the air through grants and donations (which I donated some money to as well), she came to my local air show (Clacton air show) every year until she had to retire again due to structural restrictions.
We had the BBMF, Typhoons, Mig-15's, Red Arrows..... which are all amazing..... but EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE XH-558 as she was the STAR of the show.
Not sure Maggie “put them through it” - the mission was the idea of the Brass Hats at the RAF because they felt they had to prove they could contribute something to the Falklands effort lest the Royal Navy get all the credit.
Results not impressive - one crater on the runway for millions of gallons of aviation fuel, one entire stick didn’t explode because they weren’t fused correctly by the artificers. Shrikes didn’t hit anything.
I find it disconcerting that Cap flew for over an hour without changing out of takeoff mode on his HUD.
REAL men fly in TO mode??
@@grimreapers And shoot their Sparrows in flood mode, using the Force to aim them?
This was fantastic, well done. I wish I could join, but first I would have to know how to fly.
watching this with "Magic Spears I" in the background makes it more epic! NICE!
Jester giving you grief while refueling is hilarious. Great work by ED on the rio.
I just love the agressive look a Tomcat has with the wings swept back all the way. Such a beautiful plane.
I hope i can one day have a pc that can run DCS. The Tomcat module will probably be the first one i get. I wonder if they will ever put in the F22....
Moonshine Spaz I would love to see the YF-22 and the YF-23
There’s a mod but most 4th generation and 5th generation planes won’t be coming to the game as they are still in service and still have secrets so it will be a long time before all the info is declassified
Prior to the falklands invasion by the Argentinians the fleet carriers for the Royal Navy were retired. With those in the fleet the invasion would’ve been stopped far earlier
Thankfully we have two again. Next job is to add an angled flight deck and cats n traps.
Did I miss the explanation for why they have a flight of Flankers on their team in a Cold War scenario?
Yeh that was a bit stupid...
shhhhhhhhhh the flanker thinks hes an F/A-18 he doesnt need to know
I was wondering that too... "On a loan? Perhaps...?"
They identify as Americans perhaps?
Stolen in a daring raid of vladivostok? ......no this was one of the things i too was wandering tbh
Some rules of "Ferry" flying I have picked up from pilots: Bring more piddle packs than you think you need. Careful where you put your food, it will either get cooked or freeze. Don't be the guy that cannot AR. Youngest pilot in the flight is responsible for being armed to the teeth with funny jokes and stories. Bring a extra seat cushion. When you land a Lt. will be there with a cold beer, on the flight line or something is really wrong! If you do land at a stop over base, write NOTHING up as a PRD until you get to your final destination, that jet is CODE 1, even if only half the lights in the cockpit work and the TGP is literally giving you the middle finger.
Cap you should call these kinds of missions Joint Ops! Great to see missions that push the guys! You are working your way up to a real combat missions time limit (depends on aircraft and theater of operations).
thx Loader

"I have a Walkman." Someone's been watching Iron Eagle.
Epic with stunning visuals.I so need to join a group so i can do this,flying alone is way less fun.
I second that. But I'm practicing DCS for 3 months now but these GR guys are from an other plannet. Will I ever match their skills, I'm wondering? But again love watching this :-)
That was dope! great job.
Love watching your videos , the teamspeak reminds me of the fun days we had on Cod UO
31:13 that's going to be embarrassing when he notices his air break is up.
Charles Ball he did that so he could get in formation
He used the air brake to slow down to keep formation
I Hope the Cold War Campaingn: Never End.!!!!!!!!!!!💂⚽💂
kkkkkk
Well. That was a pretty awesome three hours. Thanks Cap'n Crew
"DEPENDS" all round! Best, Pete.
Nice video.
Now you need to try to redo "Operation Wooden Leg" (~1200 NM trip just to get to the target area, total of around 2500nm trip)
43:15 - You guys are true Con Artists :P
My very first memory was Margaret Thatchers face on the television... I feel ever so sorry for you chap. Great mission, love your content.
It's STILL the longest bombing mission without pre-staged air-to-air refuelling. (All aircraft took off from the same runway)
The subtle ace combat 6 soundtrack after you broke off
It was very subtle at first, but then I saw him tracking one of the Phoenixes in the replay and was like "Wait, is that Fires of Liberation?"
Fucking perfect timing on the soundtrack, too, exactly where it belongs, just as the action starts.
2:50 definitely not a tactical mistake. The would be a strategic miscalculation.
This is the most milsim thing ever - so much patience hahah nice work
My partner used to live under the regular flightpath of Vulcan XH558 in Newark. In the October of 2015, she was out and saw it making a flight over the park she used to live next to, turning and making one Hell of a noise.
Turns out the date was the 28th of October 2015. Its last flight and the last flight of any Vulcan.
Awesome man
Jesus.... *Drink*clank*drink*clank*drink*clank*thumbdown*
Just before 2:52:56 the EML almost buzz killed a hornet.
Very impressive from a random dude on the internet. Thanks a TON for sharing.
fyi on B-2 missions they're typically direct from Whitman to CENTCOM target, then proceed to land at Diego Garcia. Crew gets off to lounge about for a day+, preceding beached crew flies jet back to Whitman. They were doing that for years and untold $$$. Some crazy number of aerial refuelings throughout.
wow nice loved it although cap spent the entire trip below his flight
"Refueling in afterburner" xD
Looked up the Ascention Island on Google Earth. That island is as isolated as Easter Island just about. Never knew it existed.
The B-2 Bombers take off from the State of Missouri in the middle of the US and return for bombing raids. I watched a documentary on the Faulklen Island battle. Very interesting.
just shows that if we have you guys from all over the planet getting along , we can do it in the real world...wouldn't that be lovely....
