Air Combat Clip

The cockpit scene you view on this clip is about 1/2 way through an air combat engagement that was initiated with a high-aspect head-on pass at approximately 7,000′ MSL (5,500′ above ground level) with a closing velocity of about 500 miles per hour. In this clip, Eric follows the Fighter Combat instructor pilot’s coaching from a position of slight advantage to a position of effectively employing a lethal gun attack on the adversary aircraft. Watch Eric fly and listen as Smo highlights various air combat concepts to Eric discussed the mission briefing for him to apply to the actual engagement.

High Aspect Basic Fighter Maneuvers

This scene starts with aircraft flying in side-by-side tactical formation just prior to the formation lead calling “check away” to setup for the neutral high-aspect engagement. When formation is subsequently directed to “turn in” the aircraft point head-on to each other closing at over 400 mph! When the two aircraft meet at the merge, the formation lead calls “fight’s on” to start the engagement. Watch and listen as BJ coaches Mud Ball through this high-energy fun-filled dogfight against Mud Ball’s brother-in-law, Blondie. Don’t let the results of this engagement fool you, in the next engagement (not included here), Blondie sets a Fighter Combat International record of 12.95 seconds from merge to guns kill.
