Real Fighter Pilot has EPIC Dogfight in Combat Sim
About this video
Max flies a combat simulation engaging in offensive basic fighter maneuvers against enemy aircraft. During one engagement, Max performs a vertical pull-up maneuver and an enemy fighter collides with his F-16, ripping off part of his wingtip and setting the wing on fire. Despite the severe damage and the aircraft pulling hard to the left, Max successfully lands the damaged jet using techniques adapted from his Thunderbirds experience.
