That music ruins it quite a bit.
Mute video, listen to this :v: [quote][video=youtube;V8rZWw9HE7o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8rZWw9HE7o[/video][/quote]
Except this isn't real combat.
Anyone have this video without the terrible music?
I'm pretty sure my combat flight sims bring me closer.
That's a shame, the video and original song are pretty good. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5GXbk58R0[/media]
Hands down the coolest thing I've seen all week.
Also, if you want to see some real guncam footage, this is hands down the best video out there. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLicvNmBa28[/media] Guncam from American planes running sorties over Japan in early 1945. Some of the stuff is pretty chilling to say the least.
The biggest thing about modern aerial combat is that there rarely any dog-fighting since the Korean War. Most of the kills are due to either air to ground missiles and air to air missiles and most of it is done a mile or dozen away from the target.

[QUOTE=alien_guy;35731687]Except this isn't real combat.[/QUOTE] The title technically doesn't really mislead you. You will never be a pilot in all likelyhood and if you do become one this is probably the only combat you'd see. Name one instance in the last ten years where we had a serious dog fight. Usually the enemy Airforce is destroyed before it ever leaves the ground anymore.
i'll just leave this here. [video=youtube;HEe3xfWfkG8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEe3xfWfkG8[/video]
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;35732855] Nice squadron name.[/QUOTE] I'm also fairly sure Cockerels don't fly.
Oh god. The first song with 5 finger death punch gave me the hardest boner. I love that song.
That was just absolutely brilliant.

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;35732855][img]http://localhostr.com/files/fPIsySH/capture.png[/img] Nice squadron name.[/QUOTE] Hey bro, don't be dissin' on my squadron. But yeah I actually work on all those jets up in Japan. I never seen this video before. Pilots getting all the glory...
If you like this video, Watch the Operation Red Flag documentary basically, the best Air Forces of the world, are bored
I've always had an interest in flying jets or helicopters but my vision is too messed up, and there are problems with lasic that prevent you from going into high-G turns.
