    As a Corpsman attached to Marine Air Group 41, I was chatting with one of our F/A-18 fighter pilots, and he admitted he’d do his job for free.

    Whisper "signature move" love it, well Pail you didn't disappoint with this Jam, I found myself holding my breath just watching you and your student trying to outmaneuver the bandit, just wow, great footage, oh my mariners disease wouldn't last a second would it, geez you'd have to pour me out of the T-45 lol! Your student pilots are so lucky to have you instruct them to earn their Wings of Gold. Thank you for all you do and can't wait for your next Jam.

    I was literally thinking about this scenario today. I was curious to confirm this but the video answered. To successfully handle a dog fight scenario, it would NOT be at supersonic speeds since, I presume, the ability to handle tight maneuvering for evasion would be reduced. That LOOKS nerve rackimg...hard to keep LOS on target behind you wile maneuvering....insane skills LOVE IT

    Yeah, that’s amazing! Good talk through on how to save your own bacon if you got a bandit on your six! Tell me something: what resolution do you typically shoot those videos at? Is that 4K or beyond? Is the bandit visible with those resolutions? I know it’s not like Top Gun where it’s just formation flying cleverly edited to look like dogfighting, but still.

    • @GrowlerJams

    Holy crap! That's the most nerve-wracking, scary and off-the-chart thing I've ever witnessed!! You don't even have time to wiggle your fingers or toes and a signature move is totally out of the question!! Of night landings and dog fighting, which is the most trying on the aviators? I can see where they each have their OMG factors. How many times will you train the student like this before he moves on? I'm assuming this is a graded exercise? You are, IMO the G.O.A.T Naval aviators, Pail.
