That line gives me chills. It was the pilot of Gypsy 207, who apparently was arguing with his RIO the entire time. His RIO, Commander Enwright wanted to launch a long range missile while they still had a distance advantage. Pilot Commander Connelly protested this, but Enwright went ahead and launched the AIM-7. This caught Connelly by surprise, when he saw the trail leaving his jet. In that "Aw, jesus" you can just imagine Commander Connelly assessing everything that is going on, what is going to happen, and even though he's not happy about it, you can tell he knows what's next. Ultimately 207 would miss both their AIM-7's due to a launch error, and 202 would bag the first MiG with their AIM-7 launch, while 207 would go in and sweep up the last one with an AIM-9 (that he also didn't launch immediately because Connelly didn't have solid tone, but in the middle of the dogfight managed, to correct his error, activate the AIM-9 and hear a solid tone even with the RIO blasting him like a backseat driver). My favorite part of that, is when he says "I can't! I don't have a fucking to--ooh". He apparently catches his error right when he's saying 'tone', flicks a switch and is greeted with solid growl

When American aircraft intercept the Russians they wave off and do not turn hostile or attempt to BFM what you would call dog fighting. The Libyans saw the Tomcats disengage and they turned into attack. The Tomcats again turned away the Libyans again turned into attack patterns this is aggressive and is considered BVR combat tactics. It is equivalent to a guy down the street with a gun seeing you walking towards you. You turn away but he turns to intercept you. You turn away again he turns to intercept again doing this over 5 times makes it clear he is hostile. While Russians do violate airspace or play hostile after wave off they settle down and do not proceed further. The Libyans proceeded further over 5 times. The Libyans might have a responsibility to observe and identify the targets but they like any other Airforce with 3rd and 4th gen aircraft have FLIR and the ability to do so from distance without constantly closing in and aggressively pulling into an attack pattern over 5 times. If your going to attempt to try to argue from a computer chair what is considered hostile or not and the appropriate action would be without understanding what aerial maneuvers or even aircraft capabilities are your going to get a lot wrong. To summarize my point in layman terms what the Libyans where doing was way more hostile and aggressive than the what the Russians are doing.

"good kill" just means that what was killed, was an enemy plane, and not a friendly. One of the issues with missiles is that they don't care who they go after. Earlier today I was trying to help an ally get an F-5 off his ass, and locked an AIM9X on that. The missile went stupid, and went after the very F-18 I was trying to save (fortunately he had warning as I saw it go for the wrong target and he defeated that missile). I wasn't able to save him, and I had to avenge him.

My big problem with TV and Hollywood depictions of aviation are that airplanes apparently can pull 30G turns in dogfights. The visualization of their flight paths are often exaggerated and made kind of cartoony, with high G turns, hyper acceleration etc. I think it's an attempt to dramatize something that's already dramatic and cancels out.
