    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.

    In Vietnam pilots and Rios would draw a circle ⭕️ around a distant object while on the ground on each side of the canopy. They’d call this a doughnut. In a fight if your rio sees something you don’t you call “doughnut “ and the rio uses his controls to put the object in the circle, letting you see what he is looking at.

    My most indelible memory of the F-4 was when that one time the Blue Angels performed here in 1971 with their F-4Js. Will never forget the roar of the J79 engines going into reheat and the low level pass that you could almost reach out and touch them. Given how air show safety regulations have evolved over the years, that will never be experienced again.

  • @knightonwarbeck1969
    @knightonwarbeck1969 19 днів тому +18

    GS, my father flew the CF-104 and the RF-4C. The one thing they have in common is the J79 turbojet engine. The difference between the turbojet and the turbofan is, the turbojet LIKES air. Dad said "the faster you go, the better it gets". 500+ kts for the turbojet. Additionally, the turbojet MAKES power with speed and at altitude. Installed thrust for the J79 is between 16,000 and 18,000 lbs. At Mach 2 and 30,000ft, the J79 is making 25,000 lbs of thrust. Here is some shocking information comparing the F-104 (18,000 lbs thrust J79 turbojet) and an F-16 (27,000 lbs thrust turbofan): At Mach 2 and 40,000ft, the F-16 has a climb rate of 1,500 feet per minute. The F-104 has a climb rate of 25,000 feet per minute. Keep the F-4 FAST and FAST and FAST again, and high. Best book on fighting in the F-4 is "Scream of Eagles". READ THIS BOOK. From the book, you need to enter a fight at NO LESS THAN 550 knots and when down to 350 knots, extend extend extend to build energy so you can pitch back into the fight with NO LESS THAN 550 knots. When turning, the F-4 creates 15x the drag of the F-16 so... use the vertical where you can gain altitude and trade it for energy. I wish you great success in the F-4. Colonel Warbeck is cheering you on from the grave.

    • @knightonwarbeck1969
      @knightonwarbeck1969 18 днів тому

      @@cosmocart2 You betcha! Lets do some math. Turbojet makes MORE power at speed and altitude and the turbofan makes LESS power. F-15C; 2 x 23,800 lbs thrust turbofans = 47,600 lbs thrust. F-4; 2 x 18,000 lbs thrust turbojets = 36,000 lbs thrust. At speed and altitude, F-15C is making less power than 47,000 lbs, probably 40,000 lbs or even less. MEANWHILE, the F-4 is making 50,000 lbs of thrust. Dad and the guys called the F-4 "The Pig". With 50,000lbs of thrust but less aerodynamically efficient than the Eagle, the Phantom should keep up or pull away from the Eagle up high and fast. How'd you like them Phantom apples?! This is why the Phantom reaches Mach 2+ up high IN A CLIMB.

    When you read pilot's descriptions of Vietnam air to air conflict with the F4 they always mention using the vertical as the Vietnamese mainly stayed in a turning fight which was why Cunningham was surprised in his combat with Toon (sp?) when they went into a vertical rolling scissors.

    An F-4 variant (an RF-4) is the reason why I'm an "aviaphile" now. When I was in the Civil Air Patrol, I got to "fly" the RF-4 simulator at Gowen Field in Boise. Later I got to fly the F-111 simulator at Mountain Home AFB.

    I already bought the F-4E for myselfe and my friend...this morning with about 1 week left until it is supposed to be released, I was wondering - "when will we start to see the first youtubers play around with this?". And now Growling has his awesome hands on this amazing airplane - I hope Longshot gets an early copy as well!? It would be super cool to see two guys take off, fly and land in formation in F4s.... Thank you for sharing Mr. Growling Sidewinder! Much love from Norway (Platonic love!!!!!!!!!!!)

    The F4 was known as "The Flying Brick," for it's flight characteristics.
    It was a "dirty," aircraft, even when it was bare bones with nothing beneath the wings.
    They say that the F4 flew mainly by the sheer will of the engines, as they pumped out tons of power. And the F4 could carry a substantial loadout of external tanks, bombs, missiles and other munitions.
    DCS is the 'bomb!'

    1:40 - I don't know the minds of the coders, but is it possible the "how low are we going?" questions are intended to set Jester's "oh, God, we're gonna die, here comes the ground!! EJECT!" responses? Like, if you tell him you're not going below 500 and you reach 200, he's jumping out. But you tell him you're going treetop level, he won't punch out so early.

    Its interesting you said that you found that the F4 has the edge in the vertical climb when fighting MIGs.
    When Top Gun was created, the primary technique they taught was getting into a vertical climb and looping over to attack. The F4 kill ratio improved from 2 kills and 1 loss to 12 kills to 1 loss after Top Gun grads returned to Vietnam.
    These results propelled Top Gun into stardom and now every aircraft has a weapon school equivalent for graduate level tactics training.

    You know it is good when the guy who can, at this point, if he can handle Gs, hop in any Jet and probably outfly trained pilots, says that he is "still learning". That is how you know time and dedication went into making this an IMMERSIVE experience for people who want to know what it is like to be in the cockpit of an aircraft.
