This is a movie dogfight.
>> The VF-84 aircraft banks steeply to the
left while keeping close to the ground
with Hawkins and Jose in hot pursuit.
The MiG-21 desperately attempts to shake
off the Phantoms by flying as low as
possible, forcing the American pilots to
dodge trees and hills.
Jose fires off a Sidewinder air-to-air
missile at the trailing MiG, which
strikes but flies right through the
jet's exhaust, blinding its seeker and
explodes on the ground.
Undeterred, Jose launches another
Sidewinder, which directly impacts the
MiG's tail and sends it spiraling into
the ground.
