    As an Albanian whose parents are from Kosovo and whose favorite plane is the Tomcat I greatly enjoyed this episode! Thank you for making this!

    I‘m from Kosovo and that time was really difficult for me and my family. I‘m very thankful for all international effort and contribution in mantaining the peace. Without it Kosovo could have ended like Libya, Syria, etc(10+ years war).

    These kind of episodes just show what an amazing job Heatblur did with the DCS F-14. The mask symbology won't come up until you're in range, you fly the GBU-16 ballistically until 10 seconds to impact. You lase the 24 continuesly, it's just incredible how it all lines up.

    This was a great episode. It brought back some good memories for me because I was in VF-14 in 1999 during this cruise as an AE2.

      @FighterPilotPodcast wow I didn't know that! The Shrikes were in CVW 11 then and still had the Legacy. I think Proton McLaughlin was the skipper but I don't know for sure because I haven't watched it in a long time

    Nice video , except for the fact the whole Kosovo conflict was engineered by Clinton administration…the Navy pilots did what they were asked to do, but it was a low point in US foreign policy.
