Did anyone watch Battle 360 & Dogfights 3-14-08?

Hmmm.....that kind of inaccuracy reminds me of another show- can't put my finger on it right now- where they said the F-86 had 3 machine guns, and a whole SLEW of other facts wrong.  The format was *very* similar to Dogfights.. I turned it off in disgust after the first half.  Damn.  Now that's gonna bug me. 

I'll look it up tonight when I get home.

Yep thats the show. I remember that three mg F86, and the P51 with six 50mms.

yeah, that wasn't dogfights.  I'm beginning to think it was "weapons at war: fighters".   I remember shutting it off after the sabre, going upstairs and leaving commentary for the show, ripping them a new stunninghunk for apparently not doing any damn research whatsoever. 

My wife was laughing the entire time- I was literally yelling at the t.v. 

I'll confirm it later for ya, tho.  This demands justice!

My favorite was the one that said the P-51 was armed with six 50mm machine guns!

Omg wow.

Btw, it was the non-vet who stated that the Jug had the heaviest armament.

Lol I do the same.

See thats the thing I dont think he was fighting a an emil. All it said was he was fighting a 109. The model they used was of a 109E. Dogfights is the one that stops the show and tells you the specs and who has the firepower, speed, and maneuverability right?

I doubt that there were any E models around in 1943 let alone any F's

Not a front line fighters but they were still used for training in the Jagdfliegerschule.

probably but I would imagine that training took place far behind German lines and in 1943 the allies didn't have air supremacy so a lone P-51 that deep into Germany is most unlikely. If that was the Bud Anderson show than that wasn't
A 109 E. I know Bud personally and he told me it was a G model that the dogfight show depicted.

It's a different show- first off, there were no P-51D's in Europe in 1943, secondly, they don't have 50mm machine guns.

I've been looking and looking and the only thing I can come up with is the "Weapons at War: Fighters" show.  I *think* that was it. 

If it's not that, I think it may have been a show on the Military channel- those guys are friggin' notorious for spittin out half baked programs which have NO research effort put into 'em.
