    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.

    The Phantom is my favorite fighter jet. Loved this video. The inverted nose dive you used to defeat one of the missiles, using the weight and the power of the jet was what the pilots ended up doing to hang with smaller aircrafts. I watched a video on how pilots would use the same inverted dive to to turn harder with smaller jets that had better maneuverability and tighter turns. Would definately watch a round 2 to this matchup. Keep up the great work, love the videos!

      It would be dangerous in a standoff fight, which is what everyone expects to be the absolute majority of engagements. But really, it's not the individual plane, but the entire kill-chain. Your hypothetical F-4 in packs of 4-5 with state of the art AWACS, mountain-top large aperture radars, layered GBAD and top professional crews on all of them would be practically impossible to penetrate. But it would royally suck if you wanted to go on the offensive.

    I know going into the merge is an unnecessary risk if you outrange your opponent, but cmon it’s a Felon, he was several seconds late to turn and he still got his nose on before you and had enough time to break off and flare

    He was literally firing missiles worth maybe 2-3 times more than F4 itself. So every missile he missed you have already won.

    That was some seriously impressive flying. I'd say you definitely showcased the saying "its not the plane, its the pilot," all the way up until it out turned you and blasted you in the face. XD You really made that F-4E look like it actually stood a chance which is the most I could ask for considering its my favorite all time jet aircraft.

    I don’t normally make comments to your videos, but I watch most of them. I grew up wanting to be an F4 Phantom pilot. You did justice to that aircraft taking it to the merge. I was on the edge of my seat watching this video. I seriously think you should run this one back because I think you might win the next time! Lessons learned……

    There is an AF base about 100 miles from me and about once a month you'll here a sonic boom. I looked up what plane it could be and the flightradar app showed a F-4 Phantom flying away. Pretty cool.
