Situación:
History of the Engagement
The day is January 4, 1989. The airspace close to the Libyan coast in the Gulf of Sidra. Two VF-32 F-14As from USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) fly a mission as Combat Air Patrol when a pair of Libyan Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 Floggers were detected. The MiG-23s had taken off from Al Bumbaw Airfield near Tobruk and they continued their flight towards the US fighters, even though the F-14s radar had locked on the bogies. It's a common procedure under such circumstances to lock the powerful APG-9 radar on the incoming Libyan fighters, to give them the possibility to turn around and head back home. Usually this procedure was impressive enough to drive the Libyans back since the radar warning tone resulting from an armed F-14's radar was fearsome enough. But this time it did not work. For the second time US Navy F-14s were engaged by Libyan fighter aircraft under hostile conditions. During the 8 minutes engagement, the MiGs kept turning into the Tomcats to maintain a firing solution for their Soviet built air-to-air missiles (refered to as "jinking"). As later examination of F-14 still photography resolved, the MiG-23s were armed with AA-7 Apex missiles. The F-14s took the MiG-23's head on. They try to take offsets to try to discourage the enemy and to gain position, but with the help of Lybian ground command, they countered each move and forced the Tomcats to take them head on. After the second offset, Alpha Bravo (Kennedy air command) issued "warning yellow, weapons hold", giving the F-14's authority to fire if they felt they were threatened or was in danger. After the sixth offset (jink), at 13 miles, the wingleader knew a fight was inevitable and fired an AIM-7 Sparrow. His wingmen immediately followed him and fired another Sparrow at the same target. The target was downed and the second MiG did a flyby. After pulling more than 5.0 G's, the wingleader centered the bandit. Less than 2 miles away, the Sidewinder was the only weapon effective, but he couldn't get a tone! With his RIO yelling in the background he tried to figure out what's the problem when he finally got a tone; his volume knob was turned down. With a good growl, he pulled the trigger and yelled "Fox 2!" and the AIM-9 flew right in the MiG's exhaust. Both Libyan pilots ejected, however, no attempt was made by their goverment to rescue them in the Gulf of Sidra, and they were left for dead.

Muy bueno el audio!! muchas gracias por compartirlo!!

Acá hay más información http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Sidra_incident_(1989)

incluyendo esta imagen supuestamente tomada después de destruido el segundo MIG:



Escuchándolo creo que el mismo o partes del mismo fue usado como fondo para el simulador Falcon 4.0 para PC. Siempre pensé que serían grabaciones ficticas, o a lo sumo de ejercicios.

De nuevo muchas gracias!!


Saludos.
 
Así es, parte de las comunicaciones del simulador Falcon 4 (en alguna de sus versiones) tiene parte de estas comunicaciones.

Un saludo

Buenisimas las 2 respuestas, eso da pie para decir, que no siempre va a importar que el avion sea mas maniobrable o potente.
O sea, que por mas que el tomcat sea un armario con alas, aun asi le puede pasar el trapo a esos que dicen que tienen el avion mas maniobrable.....

Despues voy a buscar a ver q onda los pilotos yankees que experiencia tenian

Impecable Agresor!

La grabación de estas comms sin duda es una de esas perlitas aeronáuticas que anda dando vueltas y son dignas de escucharse una y otra vez. El tono de voz de la ulitma transmisión cuando le dice al resto del vuelo "potencia a pleno, nos rajamos cagando de aca", lo dice todo!
Saludos
 
las armas marcan la diferencia

Si tenemos en cuenta que los F14 apenas realizaron maniobra alguna para derribar a esos desgraciados mig-23 libios dado los misiles sparrow con los que les dispararon, llegaremos a la conclusión de que fue más el radar y las armas las que marcaron la diferencia en el duelo aereo más que la maniobrabilidad de los aviones y la pericia de los pilotos
 
pero si a uno lo bajaron con AIM-9!,osea que tuvieron que buscarle las 6 al libio para bajarlo ;)
204R- "There! Shoot him, fox 2!"
204P- "I can't! I don't have a ****ing tone!"
204P- "Tone's up!"
- {Fox 2--AIM-9 Sidewider launch}
204R- "Fox 2."
204P- "Good kill! Good kill!"
207R- "Okay, good kill."
207R- "Pilot ejected."
CLOSE- "The pilot's ejected out of the second one."

También es una perlita lo de la perilla de volumen.
Son esas cosas que cambian un combate, uno de los post de blog de Little, en un 2 v 1, el ala no vio el cruce con el enemigo porq lo tapo el sol porq no podia usar su visor por estar empañado o porq se secaba el sudor que le caia a los ojos....


iovan, si bien al 1ro se lo comen con AIM7, al segundo lo enganchan tras hacer un giro de 5Gs, asi que alguna maniobra mas en el medio hubo.

Inclusive el Tomcat lider tambien puede maniobrar para tener el 2do blanco (pero no lo hace porq lo tenia el ala)

Voy a ver si encuentro algun relato o algo.

También es una perlita lo de la perilla de volumen.
Esa tambien es BUE NI SI MA!

Pasado al Argento seria:

Piloto: "Tengo al otro!"
RIO: "Selecciona Sidewinder"
Piloto: "Lo tengo seleccionado...la pu7a madre!"
RIO: "Tirale ****** dale que ahi esta"
Piloto: "Pero la c0n6a de tu hermana, no tengo el tono"
RIO: "LA C0NH$ DE TU TIA, TIRALE!!!!!!!!"
Piloto: "No me entendiste enfermo que no puedo, no escucho el tono este de mi3r=a"
Rio: "Ahi lo tenes hij0 de pu7$, subile el volumen!!!"
Piloto: "Fox 2"
