The cover photo of the two Vikings flying over the oil fires is from the front of a Lockheed produced Viking calendar. They are VS-29 Dragonfire birds and the photo was shot at least 6 months after Desert Storm, i.e, those fires had been burning for many more months. We flew every night of the war, and for many weeks afterwards. It was one gnarly chemical filled sky. And was nearly impossible to see the smoke at night to steer clear of it.

So, it creates drag but it sounds cool! Perhaps that's why the BF-109 could out run it?

I was unaware, but apparently the navy (maybe the marine corps too?) were kinda left behind during Desert Storm since they had very limited amounts of precision guided weapons compared to that of the Air Force. I just learned about it recently, along with a bunch of other C2, tactics, doctrine, etc…

Nice video, but the F-84F was not a "Thunderchief" but a "Thunderstreak". Kind regards.

The F-15 was the dominator in the Middle East, not the F-14.

Some of that low level 👌🏽

In 1984, in my dormitory at the SA Navy base in East London, South Africa, on one wall I had a poster of Jimmy Hendrix, on the other, a RAF Tornado banking hard.

A gentle bird on the flight deck and a joy to stroke around and easy peasey on the jet blast .America v-1 80-84

The A6 and the A7 are both truly under rated jets.

Low Cheed. Lock heed

I was in the Air Force for 20 years. I worked f-4 c, d, e, gs and RF-4cs. I worked them in Okinawa and the Philippines! They may not be a great looking aircraft but they were tough in every way possible.

VS-38 Red Griffins

I love that desert color.

Gotta hand it to you for feeding into the internet fandom of the tomcat by making a 20 minute video of it’s very little combat exposure in the gulf lol

it still has a high pitch whistling sound. not nearly as overt as the gunported 51a

I think it would be great if you made a video on the EP-3E Aries II. Hardly any content of it on UA-cam, there’s a lot of history behind them and the final one retires early next year

What's the asset in the outermost pylon on the right wing?

Along with the hopes that finally XX885 will take to the air given it’s had a permission to fly in the UK

We’ll probably never see another buccaneer streak through England like they did in South Africa, such a great aircraft. Still my dream to restore one if I get enough money, great video and nice to see support still for these amazing aircraft

My brother was a flight captain for the a6bs outta cherry point during desert storm. where are the planes with the bunnies on the tail?

Thanks for the info! Such an amazing sound

Thanks!

WOW. Great to see this. I flew OS 3 in WestPAc for VQ-1. Got shot at my North Koreans. SSaved our Plane Captain when hthe lower hatch opened in flight while he was standing on it. Greaetest three years of my life. Glad to see your guys made it to Gulf I. I was in the USAF at Ramstein doing log support for Desert Storm/Shileld, wishing I could be on the Whale then. Kudos on the video. BZ to fellow Whalers.

¿OV-10 Bronco is a Twin Turboprop plane?

Great video presentation. Well Done Sir.

I dont know how u can operate jets in such a casual way. Were they a bunch of psychos?

This guy makes a really good case. And part of what he says is true but mustangs didn’t whistle like that. So either he doesn’t know what is is talking about or a liar. It is very clear in the video when the plane is taxing to you note the inter guns are not there but Just a large hole. That is what makes the whistle for show. Put the guns back in place and the whistle will go away. It is a shame to do this to a legend

My Favourite RAF Nose Art From One Gulf War Was ''Snoopy Airways''

What program ,app or,Simulator is this. Can I play online !?

I suppose the rockets hitting the ground at a more vertical angle would also spread the fragments more laterally to the ground as warheads tend to blast fragments radially.

Bloody love the Phantom ever since as a 10 year old I saw the Kangaroo Kid Mat coulter jump one on a quad.

Lovely

Great video

The E-8 JSTARS while being a fantastic aircraft had aging technology and it was based on a very old and outdated airframe. The US Air Force has essentially replaced them with the E-11A BACN.

Great reenactment 👍🏻

@Iris Aviation Where did you get the EF-4C graphic showing the RHAW equipment and positions?

1:44 Is that any game about SAM or something?

VQ-2 det-A 81-83 I remember working on #11, #12, and #16.

That Merlin is so sexy the sound it makes when cutting through the air is just MMMMM

Pretty cool coming across this video having been with VMA-542

My regret was not going to Thunder City to fly a Lightning. This aircraft is still untouched for many reasons.

Ward Carroll mentioned in one of his videos the Tomcats were the first option from the E-3, but the Tomcats were on the wrong frequency.

- A good laugh ('bombing' the Iraqi boat with the IFR buddy-store) - reminded me of the toilet on the "Spad'; My Dad used to mention a USAAF WW2 8th AF saying - "We don't just bomb Germany, we cover them with our burning wreckage" ! - Loved the Might Hoover on the Boat Fly/ Fix Navy
