I was wondering if anyone had the rest of the epidose to post.

Those MiG pilots must have been either awed or really frustrated (that the American was so good that they just couldn't nail him)or both when they got back to base.

maximum amount of missiles that a F-8 can carry is 6. the last models carried 6 sidewinders. man you gotta feel sorry for the Phantom pilots because their sparrows we absolutely worthless. not only were they easy to evade but you had to stay locked to the Mig until impact which makes you very vulnerable to enemy aircraft. they would have absolutely killed in in the air war if they weren't controlled from the ground that's the only reason we won the air war.

In those days guns were essential, since the missles would miss 70% of the time.

F-8's had a nick-name during Vietnam and that was "The MIG Killer"

Okay...you gotta respect a female who is this into the realism of a dogfight reinactment!
