The longest jet dog-fight was between a US Marine pilot flying an F8 Crusader against a NVAF MiG17 during the Vietnam War. The Crusader's 20mm guns jammed and he stayed with the MiG anyway & the MiG did the same; they both ran nearly out of fuel and both went their separate ways. This was aired on the History Channel's "Dog-Fight Series." According to the program, even though no aerial kill was made, it was such a gruelling duel, that the fight was studied at US aerial combat schools.
