Dogfights! Gun Kills of Vietnam A-1 Skyraider vs Mig-17

Video Title :	Dogfights! Gun Kills of Vietnam A-1 Skyraider vs Mig-17
Description :	You want high tech? 2 American pilots down a sleek jet in their prop powered POJs. Skyraiders job was to supress ground forces for rescue choppers, not tangle with jet Migs, but there you have it. Near as I can tell, A-1 shot down more MiGs than the A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, F-100, F-104 and F-111 combined (I think a total of zero) Hits Feb 18, 2008 27 0 Feb 17, 2008 97 2 Feb 16, 2008 37 0 Feb 15, 2008 83 1 Feb 14, 2008 36 0 Feb 13, 2008 151 The A-1 still flies in spirit - its replacement was the AX / A-10 Warthog. I want to do a similar one F-105 vs MiG-17, except the MIG is the piece of junk that wins.

hahaha nice!

good topic for your video. Just get some toys and a white board.

While they are banging on about the American Korean war aces they should at least mention the Chinese and Russian aces, maybe even mention Sergei Kramarenko 13 jet kills, and two in WW2 (18 years old at the time), he's still alive as of 2007.

Wonderful! If you don't make another I will have to do so myself!!

Haha, so true. The day they actually make a program about Russian, French, Finnish, German or British aces (of which there were many) hell will freeze over...

seeings how the u.s.only had two aces and one with four that's not saying alot!!!! are you saying the nvaf had better pilots you're wrong they where deliverey men trained to listen to instructions from the ground wow

usual reasons are that nvaf guys had to fly all the time, there weren't very many of them, and American tactics were pretty naiive in the early days. Still a contrast to "our" vietnamese in the south, who did so poorly American had go in and "do it right" ourselves.

err... funny.
