    Besides the small inaccuracies here and there and the 80's overall cheesiness, you can really tell this anime was made by a military aviation lover . Gotta respect even the different sound that the rotary M-61 cannon of Nguen's (South Vietnamese guy, if I remember correctly) F-105 Thunderchief does when he is firing. Even high budget Hollywood movies fail to replicate that distinct buzzing sound (I am looking at you TopGun: Maverick).

      They actually hired a former Japanese air force pilot as technical consultant when producing this.

      I did a little research for f5 tigers and it has m39 cannon rather than a m134 minigun (showed in top gun 1986.) M39 also does a brrrrt rather than shooting 20 rounds per second. That auto cannon must be vibrating like hell

      @@DoomDwaneCat Well, no one implied that the F-5 (or the F-20 that Shin Kazama flies) is equipped with a minigun (!) as you say. The minigun is mostly a helicopter gun in 7.62x51mm and no fast jet has this particular weapon as it's armament internally or externally. Too small of a caliber to be useful in modern aerial combat. You must be talking about the M61 Vulcan in 20x102mm that equips the F-105, F-4E, F-14, F/A-18 etc. The M39 surprisingly even though a revolver (also chambered in 20x102mm), does make a buzz when fired, thought a bit different than a Gatling rotary cannon like the M61. I always thought that the buzzing sound was produced by the motor that rotates the barrels when firing, but I was wrong. Also the difference in this sound is because of the different rate of fire every gun has AFAIK. Anyway, both TopGun movies kinda failed in reproducing it realistically. If you want to compare the M39 and M61 firing sound, search for Swiss Air Force F-5E and F/A-18 AXALP live firing videos, there are quite a few in TH-cam. Thanks for the comment, cheers.

    This third episode of the OVA came out in 1986. The same year as Top Gun. And just look at how awesome the animation is. Not to mention the battle scenes with the planes is so well done. Everything was handled with such care and such effort. You don't see that much stuff like this nowadays. And who could forget this stellar soundtrack?

      I wonder if Top Gun had a scenario as the Area 88? Just picture an alternate story where Maverick who was a civil pilot gets betrayed by his best friend from Japan Kanzaki, so he is enforced to serve a s fighter pilot in a Foreign legion of Arsan Royal Air Force for three years! There he meets his new buddies- Goose, Iceman , Slider, Hollywood , Cougar and Merlin! I think this anti-war drama adaptation of Top Gun would get twice more Oscars for sure.

      Surprisingly enough, those Dassault Mirages are actually IAI Kfirs. Kfirs are a heavily augmented Dassault Mirage 5, with a J79 engine (License-built) and canard foreplanes. It also has dog-toothed leading edges.
      Due to their canards, they have a habit of losing a lot of speed during hard turns.

      Viffing, the move demonstrated here, in the first episode of James May's Big Ideas, was put to devastating use in the Falklands War fought between Argentina and the UK in the Austral winter of 1982. Using this technique, Harrier pilots chased by Argentine Mirages could slow their jets very rapidly in flight and get behind their attackers in an instant, a decidedly handy maneuver in air-to-air combat. Handy it was for the British: no Harriers were lost in dogfighting during the war.

    Do you know where I can buy the manga? I tried reading it online and it's so good but hasn't been completely translated. Nobody has finished it since 2007. and my local library doesn't have it so I think I'll buy it. It's worth owning anyway. Good series.

      somehow they have the budget to get that many aircraft with aim-9s and a lot of pilots. Just lay off like half of them or smth. The series is cool but seems to have plot gaps

      @@breezygamer1179 Simple: The Aslanian Air Force bought a shit-ton of surplus US military aircraft.
      The Manga goes into better detail, with them originally only having F-5As, A-4Es and Fs, early F-4s (Cs and Ds), F-100s, and F-8s.
      Later on, the majority of the aircraft are destroyed, and Saki is forced to rent out 10x Kfir C.2s.
      Later on, McCoy starts buying back new aircraft (it isn't shown in the OVAs, but McCoy usually blackmails other militaries or suppliers to get newer aircraft in).
      I just assume Area 88 takes place in an Alternate universe where, after Vietnam, most older aircraft used by the US military get sold for cheap, possibly scrap.
      McCoy is then able to buy it all via changing serial numbers, or buying said scrap airframes.
      In the Manga, Shin used a Draken at one point. In order to get it for Shin, McCoy had to buy two scrap J 35OE as and fuse them together.
      He then has to get the engine from another country, and has to go to yet ANOTHER country just for the afterburner.
      Mickey's Tomcat was originally intended for Iran, but wasn't able to get there in time before the revolution.
      The F-14 was mostly just sitting in a shipping container in Italy for awhile.
      Eventually, McCoy was able to change the serial number for it, so it had the number of a scrapped a.
      Then, he was able to buy the F-14 for as cheap as scrap.
      In order to get Greg's A-10, McCoy had to bribe some NATO members (guess NATO itself operated A-10s in this universe...)

      @Tigershark_3082 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      From what I know, it was the USMC who first discovered VIFFing in 1983, which is where they practiced it. The British might've used it, but I'm pretty sure they scored most of their kills with AIM-9Ls, which were supplied to them by the US right before being deployed.
