Rico's daughter would earn a Comission in the Air Force as an Air Battle Manager - an AWACS controller. I was an instructor at Tyndall when she was a student in the 9 month Formal Training course. He came and gave a Keynote address at her graduation. We had seen 4 Star Generals, and actual celebrities come as honored guests to graduation ceremonies before. But none of them got the rock-star reception from everyone in attendance that Rico did!

Depending of the definition of the dogfight, we can call the air combat between two F-15 Eagles and two MiG-25PD, 19 Jan 1991, all the kills were achieved well within visual range. US pilots stated afterwards this MiG-25 pilots were very skillful, knew how to break the lock to come to the merge and combat was tough requiring many AA missiles to be fired. Cheers

If memory serves correctly (and it usually does), one US FB-111 crew was credited with a "maneuvering kill" against an Iraqi Mirage F-1, thus making them the only Aardvark crew ever credited with an air-to-air kill!🤣 From what I read about the encounter, an Aardvark was bounced by a hostile Mirage F-1. During the ensuing fracas, they somehow managed to make the Iraqi pilot fly right into the ground! I'd love to see a recreation of that particular fight!🤣

The word 'dogfight' does not mean any clash between two or more aircraft. It only refers to close, visual range fight when opponents can see each other and they maneuver hard to get into a good position to attack with missiles or guns. If a missile is launched from 29 km away, that really isn't a dogfight. There is another Desert Storm encounter which could be called that (F-15s led by Rick 'Kluso' Tollini against MiG-25s but you really need to have bombastic titles to get your videos noticed.

Exactly, he can shout as much as he likes 😁

during the gulf war Iraqi migs is a sitting duck do not fool the viewer because allied foces has so much advantage specially with this AWACS... allied pilots will not fly there without so much advantage... the Iraqi pilot were totaly blind. the only i see american pilots fight toe to toe in aerial combat was in vietnam.. they were completely match and equal no any help from early warning or awacs the best ever dogfighting in the history of war..

F15, unlike Mig29 has no rearview mirrors, because F15 does not care what is behind him.

And then he woke up with sticky sheets and realised it was all a dream

Oh, you are one of those who believe that Desert Storm was a big victory for Iraq I guess.

In this war we got hints how Russian jets had many problems and would not even lock and fire a missle even at very closer range, now with the war in Ucraine we can also see how the Russian airforce is lacking.

I am sorry to correct that there were at least two dogfights during Desert Storm. There was one when a MiG-25 shot down an F-18 in Western Iraq.

You seem to think that any shootdown is a dogfight. The shootdown of Scott Speicher by an Iraqi MiG-25 was definitely not one. It was just a ground controlled intercept. The only aerial clash in Desert Storm that comes close is when F-15s led by 'Kluso' Tollini shot down Iraqi MiG-25s. Everything else was just intercepts.

I think that was more of a BVR kill than a dogfight. And besides, the Mig-25 is not a dogfighter. It's too bulky and heavy for the tight turns and maneuvering needed for close in dogfighting. It was designed to be a long range high speed high altitude supersonic interceptor. Its job was get high as fast as possible, intercept and destroy enemy aircraft at long range, and return to base.

You seem to think you know everything about a war, that happened more then 30 years ago. Have you been present, when the F-18 was downed? Do you think the pilot did not try to evade the R-34 missile? I got my information from a German special air journal, having access to Iraqi sources. To claim there was only one dogfight to bring down the whole Iraqi air force is bullsh**.

Imagine experienced/skilled pilot in that Mig29 and with awacs support. Neusporedivo. Svakako su ameri imali bolje avione ali u bliskoj borbi i taj Mig29 bi bolje prošao sa iskusnim pilotima i uz podršku awacsa ili sličnog sustava nadzora neba.

Američki piloti smiju samo s daljine da se bore uz pomoć AWACS dok ne smiju u blisku borbu s MiG-29 jer ima bolje manevarske sposobnosti

Mislim da je irački nadzor još i bio relativno dobar u ovoj fazi. S tla doduše, na iz zraka ali očito je da je ona prva grupa bila vrlo precizno vođena. E sad, to što irački piloti vjerojtno nisu vježbali blisku borbu u tolikoj mjeri kao američki, to je druga priča.

Yeah, i made it to that war, my specs: 1.) part of 'last in, last out' crowd (deployed units) 2.) attached to 2nd Cos Com (2 CSS) 3.) ultimate destination: Log Base Echo (LBE) 4.) part of LEMCO (light equipment maintenance unit) 5.) attached to 18th Maint.
