I’m going to have to take issue with your statement
Those are not my statements:
" ... " = All are quotes from US 'agresor' pilots, who flew the MiG-21
Fighter pilots never, ever want to allow themselves to get low and slow...
What were the RoE with the Red Eagles MiGs? You must to slow down, to give some chance to the MiGs?
Taking the F-14 as an example, I would try and get them to go vertical a couple of times and then park right behind them. "
F-14 - it means we are deep in the Top-Gun era, with the World's best trained dogfighters in the cockpits of the Tomcats.
" I had just treed this F-15 and am pulling up right behind this guy with less than 100 knots of airspeed. All of a sudden, this huge F-15 just starts falling back down towards me, out of control. He had completely run out of airspeed. "
" back on the ground the Eagle pilot told to Phelan: I got lost in myself. For a minute I thought I was fighting a real MiG."
F-15 - in the cockpit the 'air superiority guys ' of the USAF...
All of them engaged in a low speed fight, and all of them failed.
I know this is a book only, but I believe Phelan...
