Richardson delves further into his personal experience. “One day I fought a MiG-29, the first battle I will never forget. I tried to fight this fierce pressure and failed miserably.”

What happened after the first engagement? "I flipped my mind," he said. "What should I do?" I knew I couldn't fight a plane. I have to fight pilots.”

Then came the second engagement. “I deliberately flew directly under him. I know he's aggressive as hell. And of course he bites. I saw his two flowers. Maybe five hundred knots, straight downhill, with both burning. And I thought, 'That's enough!' I went upstairs. reposition the nose And I'm looking at a bow-firing MiG-29,” said Richardson.

Baranek claimed that "Slammer used his knowledge of the limitations of opposing aircraft to gain an advantage... He forced the MiG-29 pilot to call "Knock him off". How he lost a fight with Tomcat.”

Richardson added: “I went into his head. The quality of the crate is of little importance. What matters is the quality of the men in it.”

The podcast's co-host, Craig "Crunch" Snyder, noted that "Slammer has a game plan for fights by thinking two and three steps ahead."

“When he got the Golden Wings, there weren't any F-14 compartments, so his superior sent him to a program where he would teach other students. temporarily,” Baranek wrote.

“We won't teach you tricks. You have to learn the basics: power management... which Tomcat has its advantages... and its disadvantages,” he said.

"The Tomcat is a very easy plane to fly," but it's a very difficult plane to fly well," he added.

I'm one of the hosts of the F-14 Tomcast (I'm an F-14 RIO and Topgun instructor) and my co-host is former F-14 pilot and Topgun instructor Craig "Crunch" Snyder.

F14 Tomcat: A Brief History Of The F 14 Tomcat

We start with Slemmer's background and experience in training Navy pilots. When he got the Golden Wings, there were no F-14 slots available, so his superiors temporarily sent him to a program where he would teach other students. He said it was a useful experience that allowed him to feel more air.

Moving into Tomcat early, he credits some stars in the West Coast F-14 community for teaching him and inspiring him to become a skilled pilot: "Pogo" Clark, "Gassen" Manazir," KD" Bringle, "Killer" Killian and others. “We won't teach you tricks. You have to learn the basics: Power Management...where Tomcat has its advantages...and its disadvantages."

Slammer offers a number of pearls of wisdom, such as the benefit of using multiple rudders to help keep the Tomcat rolling when flying slowly. "When you do it right It's like magic."

He caught Crunch's attention when he said, "Tomcat is a very easy plane to fly." "But it's very difficult to fly well."

During the discussion, Slammer provided valuable insights on topics such as the Combat Weapons and Tactics (SFWT) Aircrew Qualification program. This greatly improves the training of naval fighters and attack fighters.

When I asked him about the very bad TF30 engines, Slammer replied, “They're not good engines. "You have to control the engine." "If I have to fight planes, I like A." Later in his career When he was the commander of the VF-101 (Eastern F-14 Training Squadron), he preferred to fly the F-14A when fighting trainer pilots flying the F-14D which had more powerful engines. When Slemmer won the battle it This made another instructor realize that he had so much more to learn about Tomcat and that he couldn't rely on tools to get them out of every situation.

The story that is sure to get the most attention is when Slammer describes a memorable one-on-one training session with a Luftwaffe MiG-29 Fulcrum in the late 1990s while attached to VF-14 Tophatters. With the MiG-29, the first battle I'll never forget didn't go so well. I tried to fight this fierce pressure and failed miserably.”

After the first battle, he said "I'm flipping" in my mind, what should I do? I know I can't fight planes. I have to fight pilots.”

So, at the start of the second battle, Slemmer said, “I deliberately flew directly under him. I know he's aggressive as hell. And of course he bites. I saw his two flowers. May make a speed of 500 knots on a straight downhill path with both floats. And I thought, ``Die!'' I got up, rearranged my nose, and was looking at the bent MiG-29'' [as shown in the following image].

Slemmer uses his knowledge of the limitations of opposing planes to enter advantageous situations. "It was impressive to see a gun mount (video) with a MiG in the reticle." He forced the MiG-29 pilot to shout "Knock him off". How to fight Tomcat?

Slemmer said, "I went into his head," which is another example of von Richtofen's statement that “the quality of the crate is of little importance. What matters is the quality of the men in it.”

Co-host "Crunch" Snyder repeated the lesson, pointing out that Slammer had a plan for the fight. By thinking a few steps ahead, I've quoted Slemmer extensively here. But trust me, I'm only scratching the surface.
