Today, Russian and American historians such as Cookie Sewall and Diego Zampinni admit that on 10/01/1955, not 10/08, there was the first kill of a jet by another jet. An F-80 Shooting Star patrol engaged three MiG-15s and veteran First Lieutenant Semyon Fyodorovich Khominich spotted 10 F-80F aircraft. Khomonich turned left, leaving the sun behind in combat formation. As a result of their attack, an F-80 was shot down. He opened fire at 800 meters, and stopped firing at less than 200 meters. Coming out of his attack, the lieutenant struggled to gain altitude. Major Bordun with the rest of the team attacked four F-80s that were trying to attack Khominich. The Americans went to the others without success, and finally abandoned the fight..." "...The Russian-built fighter was flown by five Air Force pilots. The F-86A-5 Saber underperformed when compared to the MIG-15. However, the superior training and tactics of the US pilots established a "kill ratio" better than 8:1 over MIG.

Nicely done. I have been considering the MiG15 module for awhile now. Any plans to do more tutorials or videos on it? My other options on my "next module" list is the MiG19 and the F86. They all appeal to me but I can only learn one at a time.
I will definitely continue with the tutorial series but first I will cover most modules for the start-up and takeoff procedures. It goes quick from now...then I am comming back with other procedures in the same manner. If you think I should change and focus one module at a time with all main topics please let me know! Cheers!
Do you use Track IR? Mine is ok to look around but It is hard to see things when I zoom in. If I zoom in , it moves much faster and unstable. Is there any option to make it stable? or Zoom in is not effected movements sensative of Track IR? Please let me know If you know..Thanks.
Still flying in the North Corean air force...😂
Very useful for the nuclear inspectés if rejet had toi escape !
nicely paced video, very informative

@@hipgames LOL, well I would never presume to tell you how to do your magic but you have intrigued me with the MiG15 and now I want to see more :)

Hi, I do use Track IR. My settings are tweaked from time to time. I could point you in the right direction. Let me see what I can do
Sooo helpful thank you
Do a vid on the mi-8 hip.
Would be my pleasure ♡
