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.

Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, thanks again, much Love.
GS. I bet you don’t make that mistake again
F/Eh-18 bud 🇨🇦
What was that skin used on the Su-27s? can't find it
Did you fly airplanes our are you just a computer gee? Honest question, like were in ever in the military/airforce?
Did you just get sponsored by Snickers? Seems like a Snickers commercial. 😀
You’ve been flying Raptors too long, forgot that you’re in a Hornet today and you can’t play with your food like that 😂
Agree with the play with your food!!!😂😂😂
Bruh, it's obvious with the cockpit. 🤣
Exactly!
bruh🤣
@@apolakigamingandmore6376 The cockpit may change, but the feeling of being drunk with power doesn't go away until it's too late.
Man this was unbelievable, two Canadian Hornets in the air at the same time!
And not crashing. Our fleet is so neglected, it's an absolute insult. Been 50 years since we had a leader that actually cared about our men in uniform.
So savage but soo accurate! 😂
Our CF-18s are more than capable of flying.
And, they weren't armed with just smoke and flares!
Yup. They took all the least worn and broken parts, combined them to make two airworthy Hornets. I'm not buying the high G maneuvers without coming apart though. It was nice that all the weapons did release from their stations.
As an Australian who used to live in Canada for several years, I can rest well knowing that all shot down flankers were apologized for several, several times.
With ex Aussie Hornets 😂
Surviving Russian pilots were brought in the Canadian parliament and were given a standing ovation, as it is a Canadian tradition.
Lol. Hero of Canada
It went from: "Let's have some fun" to "that was a big mistake" so quickly xd
Can't underestimate the flanker man.
That guy didn't only surprised GS, I'm positively sure he did surprise all of us, I jumped out of the seat when he landed those bullets on the F 18.
GS broke rule #1. Fangs out, always.
"That's what you get for hubris, man!" Good lesson. Also, never fire a IR-seeker head-on. ;-)
CF-18 has a secret weapon, a BAF missile, it freezes the Foes Bank Account and offers it assisted suicide
Good Canadian inside joke humour there
@@geegaw14some of us on the outside know all about it too
@geegaw14 definitely not an inside joke. Americans are observing Canada very closely and planning accordingly for our own government's actions.
Is that related the the voluntary euthanasia law in Canada?
savage af and spot on.
After having stayed quiet in the comments all the times you've played with your food, I felt a gratifying sense of righteousness pouring into me when you said, "What's this? Oh, he shot at me?! He shot at me!"
real
I believe according to Canadian law, since you survived the ejection, you must travel to every taxpayer in Canada and apologize for the loss of the taxpayers aircraft.
😂😂😂😂😂
In his defence, he was trying to save the taxpayers the cost of an AMRAAM...
According to USA they don't pay enough taxes and that is why they all want AOC as president.
I don't think the RCAF has six AAMRAM in inventory
Nowadays Canadians don't apologize but yeah had a good laugh :D :D
Famous last words: "Let's have some fun." You did good man. Thank you.
Actually saw this exact plane with the 150 livery on it at CFB 4 Wing Cold Lake in the summer of 2017. Was getting a tour of the base and the guys giving me the tour took me out on the ramp and I got to walk around the jet. Gonna miss the Hornets once they go but am excited to see what we do with the CF-35s
I saw it in London Ontario. The pilot put on a hell of a show to. Can’t wait to see the 100th anniversary paint scheme.
@@klausschlobluvsmesometwood4679 The official name of the Canadian F-18 is CF-188. What are you talking about? 😂
@@klausschlobluvsmesometwood4679CF35 is the Canadian destination of the F35. So yes, in Canada, calling it a CF35 is the righr term. Same also applies to the CF188 (F/A 18)
@@klausschlobluvsmesometwood4679 moment you realize different countries call planes different names 🤯
@@klausschlobluvsmesometwood4679 You mean Boeing? 😂 Since you know, MD merged with Boeing a long time ago. If you contacted Boeing, and mentioned the CF-188. They would know exactly what you were talking about. 😂
It doesn’t matter what you say, or what your opinion is. It’s officially designated as the CF-188. That is accepted by everyone but you apparently. Go find somebody else to argue with. You obviously have nothing better to do with your life. 😂
The entire RCAF guided weapons budget was hanging on the pylons of those two jets
clueless
Such a lovely paint scheme. The clouds are amazing too.
The demo birds usually do have a slick paint job, sometimes designed by a forces member in an open contest. This design was a collaboration between a University student and a gentleman with 20+ years of livery design.
This particular livery was the 2017 paint scheme, 2024s will also look good so keep an eye out.
From a Canadian. Thank you for featuring our beautiful livery
I saw this coming when GS said he was going to shoot a fox2..and isnt it funny he was complaining about not enough speed then he was going way to fast at the merge. Love you GS great video.
Starting at Scene 13:00. I was surprised GS did not do a double-tap missile launch: first with an AMRAAM and then kick in the afterburner and launch an AIM-9X. The AMRAAM would have prevent the fleeing SU-27 from turning around and engaging him while he chases it down with the follow-up AIM-9X shot.
lol yes in hindsight this was the correct option.
Was a matter of time before his hubris caught him with his pants down. Poor AWACS
Gotta love the red scheme, will blend in perfectly with all the forrest fires on the ground when your in a dog fight.... LOL
The Canadian painted their hornets for the demonstration squadrons at Bagotville, Quebec, and Cold Lake, Alberta. Every paint are masterpieces, but the red used for Canada's 150th anniversary is exceptional.
Love the fact that you showed yourself getting a little cocky and then losing. Some people would have not published this clip.
A GS video a day keeps the sadness away :D
You got me so excited flying my colours in such an amazing livery, but your hubris at the end! You shame us!
Canadian here! Love seeing you use the Canadian Hornet
I was standing outside way up north one day in the US and saw a hornet pass overhead that looked like it was flying upside down. After that flew by there was a trail of smaller jets maybe 8 or 10 of them. I think it was the snowbirds headed back north from an airshow.
Man that chip on your shoulder exploded in spectacular fashion!
Your editing and cutting format is perfection. No wasted time. Just constant entertainment. I'm glad your subs seem to be picking up some steam! :D
@6:45 that was a beautiful top side view of the Hornet. It looks as though you brought roses for the flanker graves lmfao.
When you chose to close for a sidewinder shot, I thought that your hubris will get you killed one day. Shortly after, you made your comment about "That's what you get for hubris, man" I lol'd and immediately gave the vid a like.
Ain’t nobody talking about how crazy cool looking those high G maneuvers were
This was the ultimate case of could’ve, would’ve, should’ve! lol
Dang!
Two observations. One is how menacing the Su-27 looks (and always has done to my eyes) during the offset head-on pass. I would _not_ have wanted to ID one of those in a hurry in the late 1980s.
Second is how you pretty much hit his gun shells rather than the other way around. It was a good, no, it was a great kill! Wish we could see it from the other perspective. "Here comrade, hold my beer."
Presenting the beautiful 'Oh Cana Ta-Da!" 😃Sick skin and GREAT vid - thanks, GS!
(but you KNOW what they say about giving a sucker an even break... 😉)
Those bright red maple leaf paint schemes are seriously the prettiest planes in the air. You should sit in a corner and think about what you've done for allowing one of those beautiful planes to be shot down ;)
It's really polite of the Canadians to make their jets so easy to spot against the clouds, sky, tundra and forest. What lovely people :-)
Only for exhibition. Actual CF-18s are gray.
Your videos have been so good lately GS, fantastic fight! Rare to see you make a mistake, like you say, any small mistake when you merge and your toast. Thank You!
Perfect example of his often repeated quote.
After you allowed him to get his Fox-2 off like that, I knew this was set in stone. I never would have expected GS of all people to allow his hubris to get the better of him. Nonetheless, all hail the Flanker! Flankers reign supreme!
He was being polite 🇨🇦
I, too agree, best livery ever! I'm also biased because I'm in Canada. You did us dirty by getting shot down! That hurt a little bit haha. Great stuff man
Ha! This was awesomeness. Love that GS doesn't bullshit us and shows his mistakes too. Much love!!! xx
Hey buddy, you're approaching our airspace guy.
I'm not your buddy friend!
GS I would love to see more merge-style dogfights, ww2 era even
He only has 500 of those already... how many merge dogfight video's can a man possibly produce...
@@jw8697Maybe op doesn’t want to rewatch old dogfight videos
@jw8697 Each one is as entertaining as the last to me, I love watching them
I would love for you to get on the Su-27 with its original weapons, such as R-27R and T, and try to defeat aircraft like F/A-18 or F-16 (they with Fox 3 weapons) in a BVR. It's a big challenge but I'm sure this will push your skills to the max. great video! ❤
It’s no way that can happen. Unless he can use cover and somehow get behind the enemy and fire a fox 1 while there cold, it’s just not gonna work. They’d have to shoot all their missles and miss in other for gs to be able to go hot. The most he could do is get 1 kill and face a missle to the face
Who are you Russian fanboys ? Gs beats up flankers all the time.
The beautiful red paint gives away our positions like hay this way!
Literally said, “Hubris” out loud..and then you did!
11:50 you f’d around, and you found out lol
The Hornet really comes to life when you give it a good paint job.
And there go you. Yet another example #34 of GS playing with his food and his food biting back!
That’s what ya get for being a smart ass.😂
I'm so glad we've upgraded to the F-35's although they're still a few years out, one thing i'd love to see is that 150th anniversary livery on a CF-35, who knows, maybe for the 175th anniversary they'll have an equally good livery.
We'd already be into them but Trudeau said there was no way we were going to get them. Eight years later they put in an order for them I think they added 4 to the final count.
I always thought the F15 EX or the Typhoon would have been a better fit for Canada. Longer range, twin engine more versatile, and the Typhoon would be scary to go against in a dogfight.
no clown simple research shows Harper cancelled the origonal deal because an election was imminent and then Trudeau said a competition is required. Took to long but the block 4 F-35 is so far from the origonal to be almost a new a/c; f15 not sold outside the US , Typhoon would not meet the required industrial benefit and withdrew and much as I don't agree the new engines are not the liabilities of the hornet or other twin engine birds and do not fail . The Gripen would have been one that presents a slightly larger rcs but is capable of required interceptor speed and outstanding bvr intercepts via the meteor as well as an ability for attack to say nothing of the desired electronics suite@@stanburk7392
Let's go Canada!!!
Flanker at the end showcasing his skills. Yeah should have fired a Fox 3, but nice show 😎!
Can you imagine our planes being painted like that IRL. The Flankers would think they entered an air show. Cool livery though. Especially at 1:40.
thank you thank you thank you im a Canadian personally and really want to see more of this stuff ive been waiting for you to make this so thank you
Love how you always post just before my break so i get some good entertainment
Thanks for trying to protect our borders. I also love that colour scheme - I was a big fan when it came out.
This is on my top 3 GS videos! Highly entertaining! Well done!
really need the AVRO Arrow in DCS rhat would be a rush to see how it would do against more modern aircraft
Would love to see you fly and fight with the AVRO Arrow Interceptor vs. a MIG from the same era.
humble pie, from the flanker in the sky!
famous last words: 'Let's have some fun'
Ha, I felt that ending coming. When you said Fox 2, I thought "he'll regret this"...
We've been recognized
It was very polite of you to give the last enemy a chance.
Canada has some of the most beautiful aircraft liveries in the world.
Your opponent got you with the "Who Hit John" move, you never saw it coming !
To quote Han Solo... "Don't get cocky, kid!"
GS is a real fighter pilot at heart. That was absolutely something a cocky pilot would do hahaha.
Flanker pilot: "call an ambulance, but not for me" meme 😂😂
GS:”Let’s have some fun” The last flanker:”yeah~~”
Love that bright red paint scheme!
"Let's have some fun." A few moments later... "That was a big mistake." Lol Love your content GS. Thank you so much! ❤😂
Just like the SU-25 he thought wasn't a threat to his A-10: Take the SHOT!
Goes to show you how quickly the fight can turn against you with one error of judgment.
Well that escalated quickly XD
You had him!
2:30 Those arent your buddies, friend.
See, kids, this is what happens when you play with your food.
Appreciate you defending our borders! You are welcome to come defend for us anytime!
This year’s demo hornet has a beautiful paint job celebrating the 100th birthday of the RCAF.
"Don't play with your food."
Well, you managed to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory! GS, your ego’s writing checks your body can’t cash.
Never hesitate.
Never underestimate your enemy.
No quarter given or expected.
Loving that CF-18!! 🇨🇦
Check out the paint job for the NORAD anniversary CF18 the Sword on the V-Stab lights up as it's part of the formation lights, also fun note if you go on Google and see it with two other Hornets I loaded the Weapons on them and launched them that day for the photo shoot.
GS in the HQ hearing: "Sir, let me explain what happened... it was a case of over-confidence..." 😄😄
I'm actually amazed. DCS has flyable Canadian military airframes. That's probably our entire arsenal of live ammunition you've got up there as well...
Now he's going to move on your AWACS and they won't get to use their premium hotel rooms.
Awesome man! I love the Hornet.
that flanker man he got all of us fooled
The entire sukhoi line up from su27 to su57 is just gorgeous and deadly. Big love for those birds
that paint scheme is stunning
Hello from Nunavut, nice to see Russian and Canadian aircraft play fighting together, btw seen couple of your great air to air combat videos just awesome
Nice one , loved it. Unespected ending. Really fun
That's ok I am sure there would be 4 F-15s showing up by now.
My mouth literally dropped when I saw that flanker get rounds on you 😮. I want things to be spicy here and there but It always catches me off guard. Now I feel like we’ve been defeated. Lol
I worked on that paint job
"Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"
... and apparently it likes to finish the job with an 30 mm cannon!
"let's have some fun" famous last words.
So now we know how and who started all of the Canadian wildfires . You were a very naughty boy.
Well, this one ended in the most Canadian way possible
Another beauty of a paint job.
THat's why u NEVER EVER get cocky when dogfighting a Flanker
