Hopefully he or she had some colorful narration during the engagement and shot. If they stuck to Top Gun recommended comm only, I would be sad. And please, please tell me it was a JO.

If by Top Gun comms you mean "Jesters dead!" Then I'd be ok with that.

HUD footage on the high side? Where is a good place to go watch it. I'm at Oceana for today and tomorrow.

So, this was a single-seat squadron (VFA-87) ???

These are the times that being retired sucks.

Well, according to the Washington Post, the best the Air Force Eagle drivers can do is a Syrian drone. Just released...https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...a-1210p:homepage/story&utm_term=.4128d77497f4

Beautiful @Treetop Flyer, just beautiful. The only thing I have ever had a dog fight with is my dog...who keeps chewing on my shoes.

I'm not sure what kind of dog you have, but odds are he's at least as dangerous as a Su-22.
