I think fights like this are perfect for education because everything is happening slowly so you have time to talk and people have time to think about what they see. 😀In a future I wish to see more battles with both air dominance fighters and small planes like group of F15, F16 against SU-30, MIG-29, but I understand that it's not allways easy to find people who will participate.

But they never were retrofitted with leading edge slats. Essentially, they were what was referred to as “hard-wing” Phantoms. Even with the improvement that the new slats offered, and the later production dates of the F-4EJ, I never understood why they never appeared. Most of the USAF E-models had them, either direct from production line or refitted later.

I've been watching your vids for a while.... and I've often thought that you've moved in for the kill before you actually won the fight. With off-boresight locks and highly maneuverable missiles you can get away with that approach... not so with early missiles (or guns). These two engagements were a perfect example of winning the fight before taking the shot. Bravo -- I think Mouse would approve.

I think this is an example of why at the end of the day there is a difference between reality and simulation. In Iran-Iraq war, a short time after start of the war, Iraqis mig 21 s started to avoid Phantoms and this lasted till the end of the war. They let Mig-23s engage. Iranian Phantoms were quite confident against Mig-21s. And actually even against Mig-23s. I guess better pilot trainings was a big factor.

Its possible you're death gripping the stick so loosen your grip a little, I use to use 2 fingers on the stick to practice relaxing while pulling the stick. You can add some curves to your axis to help with that. Once you have that sorted just pull Gs to sustain airspeed.

Its like turkey hunt. Mig-21 is pure interceptor and as such it can't turn. Same goes for F-104 Starfighter. It seems Phantom F-4 is not a great turner either, but at least it has two engines and much bigger wings, so it can turn at least a little. Only tactics for Mig-21, same as for F-104, is zoom-and-boom. Period.

Been in this fight when I was in the 563 TFS at George and we flew two days against a Mig 21C (in the usual place) and a total of 5 engagements. The book says don’t get below corner speed 390 KCAS but falling down to 350 was ok. The Phantom could take the fight upstairs because of better thrust to weight. The Mig can point his nose at very slow airspeeds and this can fool you into pulling into him to jam his missile when he is very slow…and this is a fatal error. Essentially, the Mig has one good turn, bleeds like mad, and then can’t get his energy back. Usually, once his energy was down, one can lag roll into his six and shoot him with a heater. The AIM 7 is lethal across the 2 circle fight and generally we liked the 2 circle fights when the radar was working well. Once the AIM 7 is after him, he doesn’t fly BFM any more and you can kill him with a 2d shot if required. You fly the F-4 pretty well. Use the lag roll more.

In the last fight, you flew ‘to the elbow” (imagine fighting with your hands as aircraft) which the F-15 guys call the ‘control position’ because the bandit has to turn in plane and bleed energy. From there, one matches turn circles, brings the bandit to the HUD for a shot, and you have to be ready to lag roll off immediately back to the control position. Nice work.
