Ahhh that show with all the guys that HOed and lived to tell about it. LOL

Yea, "good guy here bad guy there" etc. too
Wont become legitimate show for me till they start telling stories of the opposing sides victories as well. Some of those pilots were pretty fair pilots as well.

The History channel cancelled it because it was about history. It had nothing to do with cutting down trees,selling stuff at a pawn shop, or picking thru someones barn.   :rolleyes:

Granted that I love Ax Men, Pawn Stars, and American Pickers, Dogfights was my favorite show on that channel.  I knew it had been cancelled, I didn't know if they had brought it back or not.  I'm never lucky enought to catch any of the good re-runs that include actual dogfights and not missile engagements  :airplane:

Moral of the story: if you're making a TV show about dogfights, hire a group of furballers from Aces High to edit your scripts.

Yep no shortage of gen-u-whine experts in air to air combat there in the game. What could those real vets have to say about it that the AH keyboard experts don't know and could do better.

It was partly tongue in cheek.  And partly not: dogfight episodes pump those actual vets for photogenic substance and then spread that substance so thinly over the TV timeslot that it's nothing like reality, or nothing entertaining.  Like it or not, there's more dogfighting substance to the best AH dogfights than any single History Channel Dogfights episode.

strawman

Put another way: AH furballers would probably grovel at "real vets"' feet, and you'd get a much better TV program once the chief editor cropped down AH furballers' interaction with those vets down to the essentials.  Why?  Because the current "Dogfights" editors are about as cheap as the rest of History Channel's programming.  More filler than substance.

I now it was tongue in cheek and I was agreeing with your earlier comment. As far as the keyboard experts and game players are concerned I still think I was spot on.

The only episode of Dogfights I ever saw was the one of the LW offensive on new years day.. I forget the name of the battle but it was fought mainly over an area that had gigantic pyramid-like 'hills' that were really refuse heaps.

The narrative of that episode and the re-enactment via CGI was amazing.

One of you guys thats good with film making should film a duel in the DA then interview the pilots. Aces High episode of dogfights. We could start with Tyrannis v AKAK.
