…and (again) the 15 
I made that experience (again) yesterday when landing

While it is more benign, I did find myself to be more comfortable in a fight in the MiG-19 with a good amount of speed.
I haven’t looked for any dog house graphs but it feels like it’s better to have a bit of smash in that plane. If I wallow around at 400kmh, the nose doesn’t want to pull across much. When slow, she also doesn’t seem to accelerate back up to speed that quickly unless you dump the nose and unload properly…whereas she loves to speed up and also retain energy better when she is already going fast.
I could be wrong, was only throwing her around for a single evening so far - but that’s what it felt like to me.

The MiG-19 is a wonderful bout of nostalgia for most people, I’d imagine. There’s a simple reason why, too: It’s a supersonic dumpsterfire.
It brings up memories of your first car; it was probably on its last legs and destined for the junkyard after you upgrade, but you still had so much fun with that old beater. And really? That’s what the MiG-19 is. It’s DCS’ beater. It’s enjoyment is then amplified in the stories told afterwards.
While getting smacked by a lucky SAM in a Hornet after dodging 5 previously will be met with silence and sympathy, doing the same in the MiG-19 will be met with laughter and disbelief you dodged 5 SAMs.
Success in the -19 only amplifies the disbelief as kill tallies are read off and the lone MiG-19 jockey’s 3 kills seems far more impressive than a Hornet or Viper jock’s ace-in-a-day streak.

OH SO TRUE! You love it even when you know you were lucky to survive it.

Perhaps:
Approach from the left side at mach, Mk-82 slick on the centerline of a Hornet. Roll 90° on the side, velocity vector aside of the gap (gap is to the planes bottom), release bomb and full back on the stick to avoid fragging ones self.

I’m a particularly dense person. I want to try it in the C-101CC…

They exist… Stenigot Lincolnshire. Secret RAF Dreamland equivalent? RAF stopped flying them when RAES developed something better

what looks like an electricity pylon in the last photo is actually a surviving Chain Home Antenna from WW2.

Well I was hoping to get nice screens and videos from my OIR-inspired Hog missions, but alas the tracks went screwy shortly after the first hour of flight

I love that snake skin. I had to go get me a copy of that, along with some of lee1hy’s other skins!

The clean set is really nice too. Different creator, though.
