"Dogfights"

Post by aerogator »

In case anyone is interested or hasn't seen this, the History Cannel has a new series called "Dogfights" that comes on every Friday night. The First one was called "Mig Alley" and the next one I believe will be "Flying Tigers". All of the fight sequences are computer animation with some real footage thrown in. Good interviews with some of the original participants who explain the tactics they used. All are "famous" dogfights from WWI through the present. Some of the flying sequences may be exagerated for effect, but overall very entertaining.

The one with Duke Cunningham and his F-4 was really good. I think I've seen them all. I'm glad they're making more as they are very well done.

I wish my FSX ran as smooth as their animations!
