to bring_it_on: (since your pm box is full)
I read some of your posts here, and there is one thing I want to point out about the pilot “dozer” that you keep quoting from that you might not know.
Many of the other forum members seem to not believe in what this pilot has to say, they believe that he does not know the capabilites of the Mig-29 and Su-27/30/35, when he quoted that he could match all manuvers that they could do and then some.
Michael “Dozer” Shower has infact shot down a Mig-29 during A2A combat in the 1999 Operation Allied Force over Serbia in his F-15. Considering he shot down a Mig-29 (and since he’s now squadron commander of the F-22 wing at AK), im sure he’s quite well aware of their capabilities. He’s also not the “best demo pilot” in the AF. He said he’s more concerned with combat training and tactics than aerial stunts, so I would imagine any F-22 pilot could do the same manuvers easily.
You can see his name near the bottom of the list on this page http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_302.shtml
If you already knew or stated this, then nevermind 😀 I haven’t read this whole thread (nor do I want to, filled with too much crazy talk)
Also, as a sidenote, my physics professor (who used to work for LM and Raytheon) had a lead role in designing the launch rail system for the AIM-9X on the F-22, so if you have any beef with that system, i’ll direct it to him for you 😀
