The title of the torrent is the Su-27 flanker as displayed by a kvochur- display aircraft series vol 1. So yea i've seen it before, it was a pretty good documentary for those who still haven't seen it.

It seems to be pretty old circa early 1990's (I think)

But show a lot of in cockpit aerobatic footage.

 

SKF, do you know of any other good flanker or MiG stuff?

I saw that too. Many interviews with Anatolij Kvochur there. In example he said about his ejecting from MiG-29 on Le Bourget because engine sucked seagul and also said about advantage of ejecting seat. Also good interview with John Farley. Good shots, good music (well, for a documentary). Really Nice.

Get "Red October"

 

A documentary of a squadron of U.S. FA-18 Aggressor (Top Gun instructors) that flew to Germany to face the Mig29s. I bought it on-line while I was living in L.A. three years ago from a TV station called, I think, Nova. I'm not sure if they still have it.

 

No, the German Mig pilots were definitely no slouch. It might just me but I sware, I think one of the U.S. instructors were a bit surprised at the outcome of the dogfight (2-2) by the look on his face during debriefing. His face was monkey's ass red the whole time and it looked like he was thinking...Shit, I thought we came here to hand these clowns two kegs of whoop ass.

 

My favorite part was when another pilots were showing his FA-18 gun cam where he was pulling up behind his adversary, and it looked as if he's about to bag the poor old Mig... LOL You got to see it and hear what he had said. Pretty much the Mig just pulled out of their like it was on crack, yo. One moment it was there then...POOF! No. Not the POOF that usually followed by spray of blood and feather. heh

 

The pilot said something along the line of how he never imagined the Fulcrum to be that maneuverable. He was so used to fighting with another Hornet that it shocked him.

 

After that, I grew a new found love for Mig-29s.

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Saw the Su-27 documentary. Nothing special IMO. Would rather preferr to see some combat action stuff. Something simmilar to that russian Su-25 documentary.

Correct me if iґm wrong, but iґve read that the f18 is mediocre in all aspects. (but then people says the same of f16 as a fighter). Apart from the f18e(inexistent by the time), its seems many pilots stated it is unruly at low speed with a lot of nose woobling, even to land on a carrier, and its performance high speed was nothing special. They also added the fact that f18 couldnґt stand as weapon platform due to short range, radar inadequacy (refering to phoenix of course). At least it seemed all in all the pilot where saying was :

We prefer f14 at least it has many good points, while the f18 doesnґt perform good at no task.

but then those infos are old. Whats the rummors bout f18 now.
