I'll say it again, the anime is depicting an Extemely famous F-8 tactic used during Vietnam against Mig's of all types. By going verticle Shin plays to the advantages of the F-8 Crusader with its superior weight to thrust ratio. Unfortunately for Shin his parts dealer McCoy is rather shadey at times and has sold him a defective compressor.

MauserK43 Two things - I use to fly F4s for the USAF in Vietnam. I had a friend who flew F8s and I’m pretty certain that MiG21’s had a better T/W ratio. The North Vietnamese rarely sent 21s up after us because they were so rare and expensive. The advantage we had was that we could load our airplanes up with G better than a 21 given our higher tolerance for wing loading. Plus a delta wing bleeds energy and lift quickly in a tight turn. 21s weren’t so bad if you keep them at a distance. The ones we hated were the MiG19s. That little jet was a hot rod.

The F-8 was the most outstanding fighter the Navy had. When you're out of F-8s , your out of fighters. Last gun fighters for the U.S. Navy was VF- 201@ VF-202 out of NAS Dallas Texas. All other's were photo birds

Interesting thing to note: the aircraft Shin is flying, a Vought F-8J, could only carry Sidewinders on fuselage-mounted pylons. Here, they are mounted on wing-pylons (attached to the wet pylons). Also, these Sidewinders are AIM-9Ls, but the Crusader could only carry the B, C, and D sidewinders. Edit: upon looking at the flight manuals, the F-8E/J could also carry AIM-9Gs.

It depends on the thrust-to-weight ratio of your aircraft, and how hard your aircraft turns. If you have great T/W, then go for a vertical rolling scissors. If your aircraft turns good, then go for the vertical rolling scissors. ----- An F-8 could do the Cobra (Pugachev's) if it has thrust vectoring. :)

mikedawgx01 8 vs 1 (or 7 vs 1 as when the other 6 arrive Shin has allready shot down one of the fuirst 2 MIGs) might seems propostrous but in the time period this anime is set (early 80s with mainly 60-70s technology) it wasnt that much.. In the 70s an Israel pilot.. Giora Epstein found one day himself in his Mirage III alone against 11 MIG-21s ... but as he himself said in that period of time without radar guided or all-aspect IR heat-seekers (you had to be preciselly at the target's 6 so the Sidewinder/Atoll would get a lock) it didnt mattered how many enemy planes there were as hi said "it doesnt matter if they were 1 , 10 or 100... in your tail there is only room for one enemy" .. only one plane could attack him at a time (if 2 enemy jets try to get in one will obscure the other eventually).. and all of them will run out of fuel quicly due to combat engine demands (full power+afterburner) so in a few minutes they would all have to turn back to base or risk fuel starvation).. A really good coordinated enemy attack could take advantage of those numbers but in the combat heat and in that time without data-link and tactical displays it was really hard to coordinate in real time fighter jets in such tight space... even any radar controlers would see only a mashup of messed dots in his scope all changing position quickly Epstein survived his fight against 11 MIGs... he got 2 MIGs and then all had to break off for home due to fuel bingo

Development of the modern Sparrow began in 1955 by Raytheon. The USAF adopted the AAM-N-6a for its new F-110A Spectre (F-4C Phantom II after 1962) interceptor, and assigned the designation AIM-101. The AAM-N-6b was a further improved version, which entered service in 1963. It is described below under its post-1963 designation of AIM-7E.

So this video was uploaded when I was only 4 years old and it's recommend to me now when I'm 19 , unbelievable..

This is from the newer cheap tv series the old 1985 oavs had a lot more detail to the planes.

In military practice, the F-8 Crusader is not equipped for the air forces of allied nations of the United States. It is limited to the US Naval Air Force, the French Air Force and the Philippine Air Force. Compared to the MiG-21, it was retired earlier. MiG-21 is still actively fighting in the Syrian battlefield at the present time. In later episodes of Area 88, Shin Kazama piloted the F-8 Freedom Fighter, which was a fighter similar to the MiG-21 when it was sold by the Americans to many countries.
