It's all fun and games until you realize this 5 minute short is better than most million dollar action movies.

"There's a pilot like you in every generation, and I've felled every one of them."

[mafew]

Actual best part of the movie is the loop at te end, foreshadowing the eternal cycle of flight getting downed, nearby one getting rerouted to assist by AWACS, losing contact, shooting down the MiG which comes back, getting shot down and AWACS rerouting next flight for the same fate. Absolutely amazing, better than 90% of movies in cinema

[CaptainCanuck]

This needs the full cinematic treatment. Awesome short film. The ominous music really gave it a dark, foreboding touch. The story reminded me (in a small way) about the legendary tale of the Flying Dutchman----a 17th century sailing vessel that was cursed to never be able to make port for eternity, and which also meant very bad news for anyone who encountered it. This is almost like the 21st century version of THAT ghost story. Very well done. Enjoyed it immensely.

When the MiG came back on the RWR it gave me serious chills…

[superchargedpetrolhead]

I would pay to watch a full movie of this...

[Havoc_]

I love the cinematic. But as someone who served as a Communications chief in the Marine Corps. Hearing over and out, thoroughly triggers me. Over= transmission over awaiting response. Out= transmission end, no more response. Saying over and out is a paradox. But again, beautiful cinematic.

[dascheezenbjouger]

When a 5 minute DCS short is better than a movie with a multi-million dollar budget.


EDIT: Top Gun was amazing, I really appreciate it. I'm only posting this because some people don't know how to check when comments were posted.

[flanker]

Probably one of the best short films ever not only in DCS.
This guys got talent!

[daveslow]

"over and out" always cracks me up :D nobody actually says that but movies seem to think so :D
Amazing video btw, awsome shots and edit! Keep doing what you're doing. Outstanding!

"did you hear the ghost?"

"What?"

"Heard he shot down 6 planes in less than 48 hours"

Sir the FBI asks where is your crystal ball?

[sohrabroozbahani]

Spooky, honestly, I showed this to a short film director and he was laughing his ass off the entire time so exited he was, he loved and enjoyed every single shot... this is quality work man, you deserve a job in the big industry... and that last twist... exquisite...

[Lewd-Tenant_Isan]

when his wingman first describes the MiG it seriously reminded me of when Blackout from the First Transformers was visually ID'd by an investigating jet, from that alone i knew that those 2 pilots werent making it out of there. Phenomenal work

[JPFerre]

Are the 2 thumbs down the F-16C pilots?

[willywilmouth]

Excellent, le MIG29 qui réapparaît, réarmé avec ses missiles !!!

[sand.]

2:22 I love how the wings tilt, it looks fantastic!
