    Come on, why on earth are there still a few around who think that bird is a long range anti-ship striker ???
    The most likely AAM for the long bay are the standard PL-12 in a version with cropped fins or the new PL-13/15.

    Deino

    I didn’t say it’s a ship striker. PL-12 might have 4% of the fins cropped in order to fit in the bays of the J-20. But IMHO, i think they’ll get the PL-13/15.

    But the PL-12 cropped is fine. This plane will rock at BVR you know? IMHO, i think the J-20 is a fighter bomber type of 5th gen fighter. Just like the F-4 phantom. J-20 will carry more heavy bomb payload due to its long and huge size. But this plane of course will be a primary ground attack plane with air to air as its secondary role.

    wow just look hwo much longer the bottom bay is in comparison with the side bay.
    what large missiles do they plan to fit in there.

    I have always thought this plane would be a Bomb Truck. Clearly they haven’t made a huge missile yet. But IMHO the bottom bays are for bombs and the side bays are for missiles. Think J-20 will have the 1st task as a Ground Attack plane with secondary air to air tasks. Looks too big to be a fighter. More like a bigger, longer bomb truck. But althought it’s tasks are Multi mission role tasks.

    i read somewhere that it may be possible, the Human body renews itself over and over in your lifetime, so no part of your body is actually over 10 years old, a gene actually prevents a cell replicating itself 100% when you reach maturity, so these cells degrade, that degradation produces ageing effects, if that gene can be found and treated, then in theory your cells will not decay and you could arrest ageing at a set age.

    I find it astonishing how much the F-35 looks like the Yak-141.

    lineage in aviation is an amazing thing.

    Yea.

    I should look up the MiG25PDS HUD for the proper kill :highly_amused::dev2:

    Ok :confused:

    Don’t worry, that might be the only instance in the history of military aviation that an -E ever got a kill on any flavor of Hornet.

    As for the F-22, that was actually an EA-18G that shot that footage. FWIW

    I was faking the madness, glad it wasn’t the Rhino 😮 A pilot said it was the Super Hornet from VFA-11 that got the kill. It wasn’t a Growler, it was around 2006 but the Growler was in it’s flight that year

    sad to see the f-16s retire 🙁 , but im not sure if the f-35 can take the f-16s role. but heard it lacks alot! but it’s old now and old means replace. but the f-35 will never be a cool plane as the f-16. saw the 16s at Nellis AFB one time and it was awesome.

    Sweet, bet you had a good day at Nellis.
