That is incredible!

30 minutes slugging it out against the MiGs! It's literally like a Top Gun precursor, and throw in that his jet and wingman were the only ones in between the carriers and the MiGs.
"Cats 2 and 3 are down"!!

Great story. A true professional.

I wonder if that helped avoid a future war as the Soviets poked the tiger and found out who they were fvcking with.

That’s an amazing story. Imagine experiencing something like that and not being allowed to talk to anyone about it for 50 years.

His generation? Sure. Today’s? Nah.

It’s not the plane. It’s the pilot.
