New Wings Over Europe video:

Carrying out a fighter sweep in a US Navy F/A-18A Hornet at dusk.

Found and engaged some Soviet MiG-23P ('Flogger-G') and MiG-29A ('Fulcrum') fighters.

Great fight in the twilight of the Cold War with some spectacular kills.

New Wings Over Europe video:

Intercepting Republic F-105D Thunderchiefs in the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F-13 ('Fishbed-C').

A classic encounter that was oft-repeated during the Vietnam War.

Just as in that conflict, the nimble Soviet MiG proved deadly to the USA's 'Thud' bomber.

Missile evasion, heat-seeker kill and gun kill in this video!

New Wings Over Europe video:

F-16A Fighting Falcon (AKA: Viper) versus MiG-21MF (NATO reporting name: Fishbed-J). This could have been a possible encounter in the early 1980s.

How to kill some MiGs quickly in the first turn!

Hope you like the new channel intro and vastly improved graphics quality. Looking forward to making more Cold War content again.

New Wings Over Europe video:

Flying a Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21MF (NATO reporting name 'Fishbed-J') to intercept USMC McDonnell Douglas AV-8A Harriers.

The Harrier was a British design which continued to be developed by the Americans for the use of their Marines.

New Wings Over Europe video:

Flying the F-15A Eagle over Germany at night and taking on a pair of MiG-23M 'Flogger B's.

Quick little video, but some nice visuals at night and a good demonstration of the air superiority of the F-15.

🎵 Everything old is new again 🎵

annihilation can happen with these fairly pointing out the hypocrisy of oligarchs as they make a point to note, for the record, that's it's being discussed, as if using those can't trigger retaliation, leading to escalation.

At least then we wouldn't need to worry about human extinction by anymore.

Who won?

Visited the Wende Museum with @nathanielpiha yesterday. Small but nicely curated with a very specific theme: the Cold War behind the Iron Curtain. Not a celebration, but a remembrance. Very interesting.

There's a headline you don't see every day:

"Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, defects to Russia"

New Wings Over Europe video:

Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21F-13 ('Fishbed-C') of the DDR (East Germany) intercepts two USAF Lockheed F-104G Starfighters over Germany at dusk in 1963.

A Cold War 'what if?' scenario.

Really great little video; as fun to watch as it was to make!
