Now I know where Maverick got ” I’ll just hit the brakes and he’ll fly right by ” from but he didn’t make a Tomcat or a Hornet do a back flip
That last mig pilot was probably trying to defect why els fly a single mig to challenge a carrier
The f‑86 sabre was way better than the Phantom
This show is maximum freedom
Never say “Fire” in a plane…that why they’ll say “Fox Two” when shooting..??
Good all da way ‚great production
It amazes me that as late as 1972, the Navy still didn’t have a gun on the Phantom. Even the Air Force had cannons on their F‑4’s by this time.
During my active duty time I got to be on the Midway for a mission briefing.
J.C. Smith could use a HEALTHY dose of humility. One would think that he downed all MIG kills all by himself. His shameless self portion is mentioned in several books.
The uss midway lives in my city
Death of the Luftwaffe when?
Uhhh did he do a cobra in a phantom 🤯
When a space shuttle beats you in a dogfight you know its just a skill issue.
Glamorization of mankind’s wanton aggression and the USA’s imperialist exceptionalism. Sad.
Visited the Midway museum during my stay for a wedding. Seeing more of its combat history here made my visit even more worth it. Bless the workers & fighters!
Love the dirty fingernails bit at the beginning. So good
Is no one going to address Mike taco bell
Mike Taco Bell ???? Cool name bro.
departed at 1500’…I assume that guy needs a wheelbarrow for his giant brass balls
The computer animation would go crazy in 2024. Bring back the old history channel
Now your in the cockpit, experience the battle, dissect the tactics, Relive the Dogfights of Vietnam.
The domain of the greatest fighter pilots.
The truth is that the problem wasn’t due to the phantoms not being maneuverable, but that the pilots wasn’t trained to maneuver the phantoms due to the BVR only Doctrine. However the WWII pilots and the dogfighting trained pilots became ACEs in the phantoms during Vietnam. And Dan Pedersen the Founder of Top Gun with the phantoms and top gun pilots took the kill ratio from 2:1 to 24:1 with the phantoms in Vietnam !
The problem wasn’t that the phantoms couldn’t maneuver but that the pilots wasn’t trained to maneuver the phantoms due to the BVR only Doctrine of that time. However you had pilots who could dogfight and became ACEs with the phantoms during Vietnam and Dan Pedersen the founder of Top Gun with the phantoms and other Top Gun pilots took the kill ratio from 2:1 to 24:1 with the phantoms during Vietnam !!

30:21 — You can do THAT with an F4?? That almost looks like something out of “Ace Combat: Assault Horizon”
