Air Combat Today (1986)

Just a heads up. The narration is very weak, with multiple false statements on technical issues, such as weapons, aircraft power plants, and time lines of events.

So much wrong, it's easier to say what you got right.

F-14 is a large fighter, I thought that Russian Su-47 will be the same wing system, but not, looks like transforming is too complicated for now

Thank you.

F3 better than anything else in the World? Is this a joke?

Tornado F3 described as the best fighter in the world , LOL .

Awesome video! Was the F-16 in it? I didn’t hear it mentioned, but maybe it was.

I did not know the F-100 was designed in 1933. It would have been useful in 1941.

That VF-84 Tomcat was firing an AIM-9 Sidewinder, not an AIM-7 Sparrow. 'Winders, and the mordern "Slammer" are carried, and launched from rail style launchers. The old Sparrow is ejected from recesses on the bottom of the fuselage, or wing pylons.

Those are not "M-82" 500lb bombs, instead, those are Mark-82 Low Drag General Puropse bombs, which were developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company.

I'm sorry, but the engine that powers the Hun is the Pratt & Whitney J57 series afterburning turbojet engine. There was no "J37" engine.

Yes, the Hun was originally designed as a pure fighter, but it morphed into a FAST FAC platform, along with becoming a strike aircraft, a fast photo recon platform, as well as being the first Wild Weasel aircraft.

Now wait a doggone minute, that footage of a Hun taxing out for a strike mission is from the Vietnam War, not Korea, also, the designation of the Dinah recon aircraft is pronounced as "KI", not "Key, plus those Corsairs were escorting an F-5 Photo Lightning, and not the other way around where one P-38 is escorting Corsairs on a strike mission.

Pilots are redundant anymore.

Great video, I just knew it was going to end with the eagle 😂

F-100s in "Korea" 1968 go on an attack mission? And...did he say "better than any other aircraft in the world" when talking about Tornados? What? 😕

Well put together (music, videos, info, narrator)

What is missing in this documentary is that now, we know that US fighters dog fights with Russian planes over Area 51.

Excellent!!

Thank you so much for this. I was 12 years old when this came out, never saw this particular one though. I was obsessed with fighter planes at this time and would have watched this doc over and over again on summer break like did with other military documentaries.

compared to F-15 the F-18 looks so ugly.

عشق است تامک

A couple too may error in this doc. The most obvious one is mentioning live Snakeyes being loaded onto the F-111 at Red Flag, while they are obviously blue practise Snakeyes. And they don't even seem to be Snakeyes either, but the other kind of retarded low delivery Mk82s (chute compared to fins).

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot after watching such video.

All your videos are fantastic. They don't make like this anymore. Loved watching firepower and great planes sea wings etc.

Thanks for uploading this absolute gem

This is great! Thank you for the upload.

Too many inaccuracies

I know it was a script thing in 1988 they said Korea instead of Vietnam

Great video son.

Thank you Mike.
