And when one company gets so much help it faces less risk thus can expand much much quicker and put others out of business.
Is that good for the industry?

Well the you must close nearly every car manufacturer in the world, as all are recieving or have recieved a form of such help.

Use 2 Sqn of MiG-29s for air defense
Use 2 Sqn of Mirgae 2000D for strike
Use 2 Sqn of F-16C for SEAD, Strike and fighter duties

F-15s with their lonmg range and with tanker support can fly from the mainland
F-4s the same
Hawk has not much offensive value and can protect secondary areas
remaining F-16 can do strike and SEAD with tanker support
reamining MiG-29s can do CAPs over the mainland

tankers, AWACS and C-17s have enough range to fly from the mainland (base protect by remaining MiGs)

helicopters lack range to be off much use.

And RAM instead or in addition to a gun gunbased CIWS.

It is quite simple, if Airbus is no longer getting state help, then they can no longer give a fixed percentage of the work out to the partner countries, as the work there is comparable expensive. To stay competitve they would have to open this work for international tender and most likely would give it to Russia, China or India. (which like Japan have no problem in giving state help to the contractors).

That is normal for ever industry. Look how much of the work on the 787 has been given to contractors outside the US, compared to earlier programms.

with long range electronically agile radar

Now that would be open to much discussion.

Well, alright then. I’ll forgive you.

All joking aside, those shots are really good!

Did you like it here? Since you where at first not that happy about going to an airport that has been photographed to death.

Well, it was nice. However I don´t if I will go to AMS or FRA next time. But that decision will have to wait till late september anyway, as June and July will mean military airshows.

At least the spotters in AMS are very friednly and nice.

Btw : More pics should be coming later.

Big step forward. Those are quite good now.

If you pictures come out to dark you should use the exposure compensation and add some more exposure. +0,3 or 0,5. Check the histogram of your pics, if you camera can do this.

I remember reading that some former East German Mig-29 pilots felt like losers because they were getting beat by “lousy F-4s”. (Due to pilot skills).

That is really not the rule. Not in close range dogfight at least. But at 20km range, they did get beating regularly, as this is perfect slammer engagement range and the 2 man crew with the AGP-65Y was surely better at BVR then the pilot of the MiG-29A with the complicated man to machine interface.

Regarding Mig-29 versus F-16, NATO air combat simulations reveal that Mig-29 has tremendous advantage.
The German Mig-29 pilots say that combat simulations shaw that within 20 km range they couldn’t be beaten.
And that everyhing thrown against Mig-29 within that range can be considered destroyed.

The main advantages are:
-very high AoA which can be attained by aircraft without departure.
-very high T/W ratio and climb rate (330 m/s).
-very fast point and shot capability (pitch rate).
-engines which keep running at most adverse conditions.
-high off-bore sight missiles (R-73) with high energy rocket engine and
Thrust Vector Control for 12 g targets.
-Helmet mounted sight coupled with radar and IR/laser sensor.

Note also that german Mig-29 has 10% derrated engines thrust and has no R-77 missiles like russian versions.

It is very hard to escape that kind of capability.

Against Mig-29, the only chance is in great numerical superiority with AWACS etc. And to hope that you are not run up against one with R-77 missiles.

Let me just say that this is far from true, but I´m sure it will find some laughs in the ready room of most F-4F ICE wings. :diablo:
