I love it when he rolls over and dives down the side of the mountain to shake the MiG. While I am sure it was all staged for the cameras, it looks very good. Some say it looks like the MiG was mainly doing formation flying with the Hornet... but watch the vapor from the hard turns... no one flies "formation" when they are yanking and banking that hard. I think they had some scripted ideas, and then smiled for the camera :)

Staged or not, this is nice footage. I am of the opinion that the MiG is probably a little quicker than the more multi-purpose FA-18. In the hands of a good driver, could be a real unpleasant surprise when somebody yells, "Fight's On!"

Any aircraft in the hands of a good pilot will kill the other. Whether it be an F-4 vs a Mig-29....the better pilot always wins. Chuck Yeager can atest to that.
