Hi GS ... maybe I m not the 1st to ask, but can the F14 maneuver with differential wing sweep i.e. wings at different sweep angles at the same time?

One format that would be interesting to see: 3 rounds, then switch aircraft and do 3 more rounds, as it could demonstrate how much of the kills are pilot skill vs. aircraft capability.

outside of lucky shots like the one loss here, GS would win them all. Last few opponents, bless their hearts, haven't been up to GS' level. Credit for being willing to try though.

IIRC, when the navy was still using the Tomcat, the Top Gun trainers would fly F-16s against them to maximally challenge the students.

F-14 plus the Top Gun programme gave the USN something special. No one wants conflict, but it's a real shame we never got to see what it could really do like we have with the 15/16/18. If airframe hours weren't a factor and foreign sales were better the Tomcat would still be viable and competitive today.

If someone posted a 3 hour video of paint drying on a parked Tomcat, I’d watch it. Probably more than once.

Thanks for showing perspectives from both aircraft. That makes it significantly more interesting.

At this point im half convinced that those ejection seats are designed to launch you towards the ground

"here comes the Sun and I say, it's alright..." It's still the pilot. Been watchin' F14 pilots interviews and their stories about how much they love this aircraft. The F111 was an early test bed with the wings and how the F14 evolved over time as a gunfighter. The more I learn, the more I enjoy the Tomcat.

Why is the"splat " so gratifying when you eject straight into the ground...😂😂😂

Your channel's love of aviation comes through in everything, including the editing.

thanks for putting up the infographics of the diff types of circles

I don't care what anyone says -- the Tomcat is just a beautiful bird. Well done.

Never thought I'd hear a "what's up my dudes" from GS

You in a Viper is a scary concept. You in a Tomcat is even more terrifying.

I respectfully disagree. The F-35 has stealth capabilities which would, assuming this is a bvr engagement, kill the F-14 before the F-14 even got a lock

I'd like to see a video on the F-8x series of aircraft, from the F-80 (P-80) Shooting star, F-82 Twin Mustang, F-84 Thunderjet, F-86 Sabre, and the XF-88 Voodoo if there is a model. I didn't include odd numbers because I forget how many there were off the top of my head

Tomcat so cool even the missiles are wearing sunglasses.

F-14 got perforated in Round 2. Never seen that before. Great fight. If God was an aviator he would fly the Tomcat.

feels good to see a tomcat here

The F-14 Tomcat is such a beast 💪 but that F-16 gun kill was epic 😅

Whoever does GS' thumbnails deserves a raise.

Gosh I enjoy these dogfights. Two legends, battling it out, using every trick in the book to get the win. Much respect.

The graphs are actually really good for understanding!

Always love these videos. Seeing you push the tomcat past it’s limits never gets old, especially when the flaps come out!

That last kill, looked like the missile tracked to the sun and he ran into the missle

This was EXCELLENT sir. Bravo! 👏

No wonder so many pilots swore on what a menace F-14 was on deck & below.

That was awesome. LOVE the Tomcat. Great job; GS!

Great video man! Always great to see the F-14!

Every time I see a tomcat video I get pumped!

Great flying again!@!!

Oh, these two are so beautiful... Thanks for this video!

Great fight! Love it

Great fight by you GS again and my goodness when you engaged the afterburners on that F14 sound of the engines was unbelievable. Love your video's and F14 ❤❤❤

That last shot was like the receiver saying, just throw it, I'll run under it! But he did save the sun!

This is a video I've been waiting to see for so long

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, Baby.

They're supposed to have an Iranian F14a at the St.Louis air show this year. I'm excited even though it's Iranian.

How he just refused to cut the afterburner everytime xDD

The only reason why you got the last shot in the sun was he was in full burner.

Your graphics are amazing

It almost looks like that last missile WAS keyed in on the sun and the F-16 was just unlucky enough to fly into it's path. Almost like it was dummy fired.

After the first two wishing they switched planes halfway through , show who the better pilot clearly is

Please fly The YF-23 VS The SU-47 guns only!🙏👍

I think these matchup results were mainly from mismatched pilot ability levels.

Love these Fox 2 fights lately. Would love more teen series fighters with non HOBS Fox 2 fights

Nice how the Viper’s wings always cleanly separate after it’s hit with a fox 2.

Some entertaining fights, thanks! Your opponent didn’t (appear to) cancel afterburner when dispensing flares which reduced their appeal to the AIM-9M seeker…

Did DCS update the AIM-9s, the all seem to be performing better of late.

You feel the need...the need ... for speed!

SU-47 vs YF-23 dogfight?

Let's go, GS in the bombcat!
