Besides the obvious choices of the Top Gun movies, I also enjoyed watching Iron Eagle when I caught it on TV years ago, one of the first fighter jet movies i ever say. I can't remember exactly if it was from Iron Eagle, but do you remember a movie where teenagers were flying some old Avengers and where intercepted by F-16s?
When the whole thing about the price of an AIM-9M came up i just had to think about that story how an AIM-9 (probably a B variant) was stolen by a soviet agent from my local Air Base in 1967. Josef Linowski, a locksmith of polish origin, Manfred Ramminger, a german race driver, and Wolf-Diethardt Knoppe, an F-104 pilot, managed to get into the AB, get the Sidewinder into Linowskis car by breaking the rear window and letting the missile stick out the back, covered in a rug and a red indicator for over length, drive the missile 600km/370mi through West Germany, dismantle it and send it part by part to the KGB.
Man, the sparrow is soooooooo big you can see it from a ways off TIL something about why its called Viper man this was a great watch. Cheers to bo, fate, and stick
Loved the video, fellas! I am so confused as to how that 262 managed to get into a top tier air rb match, but it went about as I would expect it to lol
It's hilarious that you bring up the need for a mouse with numbers for keybinding, because that's exactly what I have and is hands down the best thing for managing weapons and radar systems in a dogfight.
I use those 16 button keys in warthunder, have it mapped out on the weapons on there so left hand only has to handle with maneuvers, all weapons handled by the right on the mouse. It is a life saver for mouse and keyboard.
My grandpa had the honor of being on the think tank and later the team of engineers who brought the F-16 to life. Will always be my favorite jet no matter the variant.
Ill have you know, flying with one of those 16 button mouses, i have all my radar modes wepon selections and flares all in my right hand on quick notice and its a dream

Yooo! I missed this one. I just happened to download the same custom skin for my F16C the other day because I live in Phoenix and had to have a skin for a jet from Luke AFB when I saw it. Love the shenanigans as always.
7:22 I literally use that mouse for top tier jets. Half the time I fat finger the buttons and accidentally jettison my weapons but it help some of the times
My brother actually has one of those 16-key mouse, but he only uses like 8 in WT (he does not know how to use radar settings, or smart weapons, tough), mine is an 8 key gamer-mouse, but I' too lazy to install its software so i'm stuck with 5 keys (and the free roll button for the middle mouse -- it helps a lot to be said -)! Also what i usually call the F-16 is either "UGLY" or "Boring" !
7:20 Yeah the main reason im not considering going back to WT is you need way too many buttons to do things now. I'll have to wait for direct brain control.
They changed it a bit in the past few days. You ARB guys probably haven't felt the change but we Sim guys sense it. The low speed handling has changed just a bit, you can now pull the F-16 into a tight enough turn to stall it out and fall from the sky. Also means you can now pull the nose up at higher AOA for truly impressive shots(for an F-16). Speaking of shots, they reduced the sensitivity in SAS Dampening, it's not snapping up and down as it once did so getting guns on is much more viable. I've found I can now reliably get gun kills whereas before my nose violently bounced up and down from the slightest input, again in SAS Dampening mode in Sim. Overall, the change has really brought out the smoothness, agility and finesse this FBW jet is truly capable of, in sim at least. It really hasn't changed the overall feel of the jet, just the fine control at low speed and requires a bit more attention to flying on the edge of the low speed envelope as to avoid becoming a crater in the ground.
Ah yes, TBLF flies the Lawn Dart. Typical misson profile: 0700 Engine Start 0702 Begin Takeoff Roll 0704 Takeoff/Wheels Up 0705 clear home airfield perimeter 0706 Auger into the ground.
Can we see either the Sd.Kfz 6/2 anti-tanking or Bo & Co using mid/low tier tanks/aircraft in high tier battles like sturms (I think) did in the 'praise the sun' G-6 video
I just played my first match of top tier yesterday and I almost fucking shat myself when that missile made a whole fucking turn after missing me to go for it again
17:13 So how'd that fanfiction go bo!? XD And complaining about the ex-wife AI all the way down, bro I haven't HOWLED with laughter like that at one of these in years XD
What is your favorite Fighter Jet movie and why is it Iron Eagle?
Because it was a good movie.
I agree it was a great movie.
It is favorite due to how funny it was.
All I know is that Iron Eagle was so good my Dad had me watch it and I was born in '05.
Besides the obvious choices of the Top Gun movies, I also enjoyed watching Iron Eagle when I caught it on TV years ago, one of the first fighter jet movies i ever say.

Mine is either RED TAILES because it has Spitfires,P51,B29,and ME262
Or top gun maverick for the SU-57
Man, that 262 pilot can add an F-16 to his kill count. XD
Keep up the good work, bo & Co!

9:00 For every 10 dad jokes, Bo says something totally out of pocket. Love it
I never thought I would hear a “your father went to get the milk” joke from Bo, of all people
Bo didn't hold back 9:00 great video guys
Love these high tier jet battles! Keep up the great work guys! These videos have been awesome!
Thanks! Will do!
thanks for uploading mate i needed something to watch while i climb to space in a b17
Great video today Bo, and it's definitely interesting how the F-16 got the Viper nickname. Keep up the great work.
I love the history tidbits. I think we should label the videos educational.
Iron Eagle may be the F-16's movie but Top Gun music was still the soundtrack in my head as I watched this video.
Man, the sparrow is soooooooo big you can see it from a ways off
TIL something about why its called Viper
man this was a great watch. Cheers to bo, fate, and stick
My favourite quote in this video is by far: "I dont have evasive manouvers!" ( 5:28 )
Bo’s Top Tier runs always make me nervous and excited. Go Bo Go!
Loved the video, fellas! I am so confused as to how that 262 managed to get into a top tier air rb match, but it went about as I would expect it to lol
Love the Viper name backstory. Great knowledge Bo.
18:30 the most accurate statement on how the most issues on redballs(problems while Launching out a jet) get solved!
It's hilarious that you bring up the need for a mouse with numbers for keybinding, because that's exactly what I have and is hands down the best thing for managing weapons and radar systems in a dogfight.
That is a very bold camouflage you sued for this video. I like it
Absolutely amazing top tier jet fights! Would love to see you guys play the IS-3.
(since they haven't played it in awhile)
I use those 16 button keys in warthunder, have it mapped out on the weapons on there so left hand only has to handle with maneuvers, all weapons handled by the right on the mouse. It is a life saver for mouse and keyboard.
Awesome stuff guys. Love the top teir ARB!
Perfect video to entertain me at work! Great job, as always!! 💜
The terror in stick's voice when he cuts across his nose made me spit out my drink laughing.
Happy holidays bo and co!
Same to you!
Ever heard of a viper bite? It’s when the crew chief smacks their head on the uhf/vhf antenna under the nose aft of the radar dome
My grandpa had the honor of being on the think tank and later the team of engineers who brought the F-16 to life. Will always be my favorite jet no matter the variant.
9:01. Bo! That probably hit too close to home for some people!
That paint is beautiful on that plane!
6:00 I KILLED BO! G1smuphyX!!! And killed his friend at 2:33
Wouldn't be a top tier bo-time video without Stick crashing for no reason
I use a Stream Deck while playing War Thunder. You can program the buttons to make key presses and have any labels you want.
Loving all the Top Tier Jet content lately, these furballs are wild!
The utter chaos of High Tier Jets is always fun to watch

Me: *confused look*

Bo gets in the viper and starts RPing as a Thunderbird 😂
That paint job is plumb caddy!

Just needed the Iron eagle reference in the vid for perfection.

I hope you are feeling better! Another amazing video!
I love the jet videos bo, keep up the good work
Its insane to me that you guys know what ammunition/missiles all these planes have and can memorize what any of them are capable of.
I'm sure after playing as long as these guys have you would be able to as well
6:40 Nah, it'd be playing "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH" as it flies XD
oh lord. an AIM-9 with a speaker that on launch shouts out "Leetttsss Gooooooooo!" and on contact "Huzzah" >.
Warthunder : the only game you can stay an hour in the main menu to listen to this masterpiece of OST, especialy at christmas 🎹🎷🎺🎻
7:22 I literally use that mouse for top tier jets. Half the time I fat finger the buttons and accidentally jettison my weapons but it help some of the times
Would be interested seeing Bo and the crew play DCS
My brother actually has one of those 16-key mouse, but he only uses like 8 in WT (he does not know how to use radar settings, or smart weapons, tough), mine is an 8 key gamer-mouse, but I' too lazy to install its software so i'm stuck with 5 keys (and the free roll button for the middle mouse -- it helps a lot to be said -)!
Also what i usually call the F-16 is either "UGLY" or "Boring" !
9:25 Stick has good taste
Love to see the air battle content
After running 16 engines for years to hear someone say full WEP, is confusing. Anyway, it's a game. I love the teamwork and the jokes! Keep it up!
we're going to need key binds for radar, missiles, ECM, flares and chaff, windshield wipers, and takeout at this point
7:20 Yeah the main reason im not considering going back to WT is you need way too many buttons to do things now. I'll have to wait for direct brain control.
1:15 solid wall of missiles
I get out the hospital today, time to get the F-15J. I love my parasitic relationship with War Thunder.
They changed it a bit in the past few days. You ARB guys probably haven't felt the change but we Sim guys sense it. The low speed handling has changed just a bit, you can now pull the F-16 into a tight enough turn to stall it out and fall from the sky.

It really hasn't changed the overall feel of the jet, just the fine control at low speed and requires a bit more attention to flying on the edge of the low speed envelope as to avoid becoming a crater in the ground.
I can imagine a crew chief just hitting a reset button on the outside of the aircraft.
The US really does design good looking planes
Ah yes, TBLF flies the Lawn Dart.

Commenting for channel growth. Love the air aid vids, always have.
I just saw a video of them painting a F16 with that thunderbolt paint job! Man I wish console got custom skins😢
Love me some Fighting Falcon! What a beautiful aircraft 🤩
"Which Mirage" is the essence of the word mirage.
Do you think you will make a video on the f15
Awesome video Bo and crew. Thank you
Bo do you think we will get the F-16XL (the delta wing variant)?
Protip for everyone watching. "Round Table" from Ace Combat 0 goes great with these videos
Me a F-2A Viper Zero fan, I still like the F-16C
What's the issue with no tail control Stick? just put in a straight flight and climb back there to tie the cable back together.
You should play more il-2, especially the Normandy dlc!
Can we see either the Sd.Kfz 6/2 anti-tanking or Bo & Co using mid/low tier tanks/aircraft in high tier battles like sturms (I think) did in the 'praise the sun' G-6 video
I just played my first match of top tier yesterday and I almost fucking shat myself when that missile made a whole fucking turn after missing me to go for it again
Another person watching at work. Thanks for enlivening a dull work day! ❤
Our pleasure!
Fantastic video. The camo looks great
Thanks 👍
7:30 - I actually bought a number pad because I wanted to learn MEC. Gonna need another keyboard if I care enough to start playing the game again XD
I actually do use a 12 button mouse for top tier air, it works really well. I use the Venus bt mouse, it's only 50 bucks or so
Nooooo, Stick almost made it to the base
The joke about fathers leaving... that was a good joke but jeez Bo 😂
Only Bo and the TBLF would get owned by a 262 while flying an F-16
It's crazy to think that JUST the Sidewinders together that the US produced was atleast 44,000,000,000$
It's the Iron Eagle episode
With today’s update we now get THE EAGLE!
Were you blasting 'One Vision' in the room while you recorded this?
i would say with that upside down pass be glad jet wash isnt a thing cause hds compressor wouldve stalled
As a controller player I’m gonna need one of those ps5 controller keyboards for top tier 😂
Love the video hope y'all had an amazing time
Just needed good times
do you use an external voice warning system?
Me: Oh boy! High tier seems fun nowadays. Maybe I should play!
3 matches in with 0 kills or bombing tonnage: ... Damn F16s..
Not the dog😂😂😂
MiG-29 was introduced to freedom.
9:03 hilarious
The F-16C model is the Viper while the F-16B model is the fighting falcon
9:00 Definitely left faster than my father
Im sorry but an AIM7M shot from well within a mile? Must be some good "Historical" Documents :D
Love the Bonnie camo
Thats engine throttle not working is a new bug. You have to j out and return to battle.
17:13
So how'd that fanfiction go bo!? XD
And complaining about the ex-wife AI all the way down, bro I haven't HOWLED with laughter like that at one of these in years XD
the f16 is just like squirrel shit. its pretty nutty
