Just one correction - As someone pointed out earlier, 12:46 is meant to be a 2x Air Force MH-53s NOT a Navy one doing the rescue.

Another note: (Reference the almost downing a mig section) Semi-Active Radar Homing Missiles brevity is Fox-1, not Fox 2.

Those were actually Air Force MH-53s. The Army never flew any version of the CH-53.

How about Tomcat crews screaming over comms for permission to fire and being denied? Absolutely disgusting. The Air Force was handed kills on a silver platter, often by enemy aircraft running in fear of Tomcats.

I was a Yellow shirt, USS Saratoga CV-60. We lost birds during Desert Storm. I know a F-18 (Striker the pilot) RIP, and an A-6, crew taken prisoner, Wetzel and Zahn, VA-35. Good video.

1:20 seconds or so that VF-33 Starfighter low viz weathered by the sea and constant slapping on of different shades of grey to give it the perfect cat rode hard and put away wet look!!!!. A scheme hunters delight are the Tomcats. Tails are even there own religion in the modeling community practically. I’m barley a minute into the 20 you spoke of and I can tell you now I’m glued to it. Thanks man. Positive vibes your way and back to the action I go!
