Top 5 dogfights in history

[Chogy]

Back to the list - these are not individual dogfights like Randy Cunningham vs. Col Toon:

Randy 'Duke' Cunningham: Navy Phantom Pilot, Vietnam Ace, Congressman, Prison Inmate

These are air campaigns, and poorly-chosen ones at that. If you want real dogfights, start with WW1 and end with Korea, because everything after that was transitioning more to hit and run.

I never said he shot any Sabre. Did I?

In the ensuing air battle, Sekhon scored a direct hit on one Sabre and set another ablaze. The latter was seen heading away towards Rajauri, trailing smoke.[citation needed] The four remaining Sabres pressed the attack, and after a lengthy dog-fight at tree-top level, Sekhon's aircraft was hit, and he was killed. The remaining Pakistani aircraft returned to Pakistan without pressing the attack.

Didn't wuestioned that either. However fact remains he was grounded in 1971.

And so were other pilots from East Pakistan. However he was not bengali but bihari. He was born in Calcutta though.

Exactly, with AIM-7 introduced, the Tactical focus increased on BVR rather than dogfights
