5, Yes, the F-15 and SU-27. The F-15 is a fantastic aircraft and I am sure John will tell you that it was not easy dogfighting against one of these. The SU-27 is an amazing piece of kit. It was awsome to watch at airshows, it's a real crowd pleaser.


Sure the F-15 is ok, but the F-15 jocks don't like to get to close & when we manage to sneek past their AMRAAMs, they normally loose the close in dogfights. Especially if we are low level, where the F-16 has an advantage.

Hi Run,

Yep, I have to agree with you on the close combat situation, but I still think that the F-15 is really good a BVR combat, I think that was one of it's important design parameters. If you talk to an F-15 pilot I am sure they will tell you that it is a dream to fly, I dont know if you have had a go in one at all but I'm sure you'll be impressed if you did.

By the way RUN, how do you post an image. Do you have to send images by e-mail or some other method?

Regards

Rapier.
