Man, that was a frick'n cool video dude. Awesome shots of the F-117's. They still look beautiful. Got to say man, those two kills you did at the end, QUICK QUICK QUICK. And the sound of that 20mm Gatling gun on the F16 is beautiful. I respect how you shout out to your dead opponents on their capabilities and what they could have done better. You're a good sport man. Please keep the great content coming as I know you will and keep kicking ass. I still want to see you do a video of you in the Chinese J10 and some videos with you in the f35. Can you do videos with you flying the B2? Or even better, B21 Raider? Or that bloody new psycho SR-72 Darkstar. These would all be sick videos man and I know you peeps would love em. Really would be great content. Cheers if you do man.

I live in the north of England and early one morning about four years ago I heard a jet so I looked up to see an F-117 and I have to say I fully agree with you about how badass they look. Knowing they are escorted I had a quick look round and sure enough there's the escort. An F-15. Now you have to admit that's a great way to start your day.

Okay, the recent F-22 vids made it look easy...this one made it look difficult, but in the best possible way. This might be my favorite video to date, and I've been following you for a while now. A little luck might have happened here...but there was more than enough talent and skill, too. Bravo!

One in a million? Dude, in all honesty, you did that gun run like it was another Tuesday 😂. Incredible flying.

That gun run was SOOOOO spicy 🌶️

The F16 has never looked more SEXY than it did outrunning those tracers! Dayum! Good shooting boss!!

Being a former F-117A maintainer I appreciate seeing them still flying. We flew missions at night for the most part so I wish this couldve been done at night. We called ourselves Nighthawks and we truly did “ Own the Night” back then. Also these Iraqi pilots had way more balls then the ones in 91. Most wouldnt even take to the air, and many fled once airborne. They didnt wanna play. And they suffered the same fate hahah. So impressed to see where 5th gen stealth technology has advanced to these days.

I've heard that it was mostly designated "F" because it was hard to fly, and none of the "coolest" flyboys with the best scores wanted to fly a bomber. So they went "Hey you wanna fly this new experimental F-117?" and they would be like "Heck yeah!" and wouldn't realize it's a bomber until it's too late. @@thomasmelvin1333

Spinning, maneuvering and shooting on target is an awesome skill, GS. We are in awe... F-16, baby, that's how it's done ! Heilige Scheisse !

That is some of the best F16 footage ever captured. It's better than anything in the Iron Eagle movies by miles even though it's just a simulater. Damn dude you can rightfully consider yourself a boss for doing that live. I want you to try and do it again and see how many times it takes when you're prompted. That's gotta be in your top 5 moments for the channel ever. Saying a LOT!

Probably the target solution of the HARMs was off because you fired it at PGM4/5. I always offset 10-20° to the SAM for better triangulation with the HTS pod and wait until PGM2.

That gun-run was a gigachad move. But I don't think your command would praise you for that... 😂😂

Your piloting skills are impeccable my friend. You’re so intelligent and you let the audience know everything you’re doing which makes it even more captivating

These last several videos you have posted have been some great ones! I really dug that F-22 mini series, it was a lot of fun to watch them. But as I also fly the F-16 this is my cherry topping for a video! I love flying this Jet..its everything I always wanted for DCS,and really does it all!

"Hail Yeah" was the first thought that came to mind when I saw the video description.

The absolute tactical understanding that GS has cannot be overstated. I don’t play DCS, but his content is as entertaining as the Top Gun movies and far more informative on strategy, tactics, and the sheer pucker factor of flying military missions.

This was absolutely incredible. Your flying was very impressive. “Fortune favors the brave.” I wonder if any modern air missions have come close to this type of craziness.

14:36 This view from the ground for some reason reminded me of WWII dogfighting footage

Those strafing runs were incredible!

THE ENDING WAS FIRE...GOTTA MAKE US A MINI MOVIE

That was such a cowboy move at the end, it'd be a 50/50 chance the wing commander either permanently grounds you or sticks a giant medal on your chest.

I thought when approaching your target at low altitude you would fire your HARM when you were within designated firing range before being tracked so the missile had a chance to climb to altitude. At that point you would climb until the the enemy's radar stared a track and once being tracked, the HARM would locate the early warning station/sam site and destroy it.

F-117s only flew at night, just saying. Great video as always, and the gun run was brutal. Also, the F117s flew over Baghdad unescorted and with no SEAD support. The pilots trusted the stealth but worried about a lucky golden BB.

Jesus man, straight up flying BALLS OUT! GGs!!😂

insane trench run there

The reason the HARMs were not effective was the low position confidence on the missile. but what a fantastic ground strafe!

Nice to see again the F-117.

You absolutely worked those nerds holy hell. Great replays too

That gun run was phenomenal

Reason why the 117 was shot down was because the Serbs studied the flight path of the 117 whenever they were sent to bomb targets. The serbs would write down all the detections every time a 117 opened the ordinance bays and be able to predict future bombings which they decided to hide a SAM on a nearby location where the 117 would predictably fly so when the bays were open, the SAM would fire
