The US Navy should buy Rafale……….MUCH better looking than the Super Mistake I mean Hornet……
Esp. much better performance. 😉
On the other hand the Hornet looks quit good imho, nowhere near the Rafale of course.
which would have cost a lot of money which was not comming at that time for the navy.
Well the SH isnt cheap either. For that price you surely could get a plane that is no stepback.
Like the Rafale :diablo:
Oh lets not go into the speed dept..the SH is a good slow speed handeller and thats it 😀
Then the Navy might aswell buy new built A-6Fs. They offer much more range. And no wing drop problem. 😉
They seem to have the same problems like Austria faces with the EFs. It can’t fly in the cold etc.
Of course everybody believes the s*** in the media.
I think its a good idea aswell. But it would work better with a force of more than 12 airframes.
I heard that the F/A-18C had the same range as the F/A-18E went equipped with the same larger fuel tanks of the Super Hornet! Can anyone comfirm that?
I even heard the E has no range advantage over the C without tanks. Can’t believe that though.
bring_it_on: Imagine all that stuff put into a proper airframe. 😮
I read somewhere the combat speed (whatever that means) of the SH is around M 1.6 whereas the old C flies at 1.7 :rolleyes:
Doesnt the Navy plan to introduce one sq of Es and Fs each for a carrier?
But since the training squadrons got mostly Fs, more of the double seaters will be built I guess.
The F carries 14’400 lb (6’530 kg), the E 13’550 lb (6’145 kg). Not much of a difference.
(from aerospaceweb.org)
The Bs and Ds are Trainers and the Strike Eagle is more ore less another plane. So when you see a Strike Eagle Demo, it should be a double seater most of the time. 😀
The F-18D is only used by the Marines as a fighter. Maybe the Marines fly demos in their Ds.
The Tornado surely isn’t my favorite in terms of looks, but these pics are great!
The Super Bug is in frontline service both as a single and double seater, the others are not. Just a guess.
I can’t image the Eurofighter using full deflection in any offensive manouvre. That would create some pretty nasty g’s.
Well, this is actually very simple:
For the Vipers: Call in some real Fighters (F-15s 😀 )
For the MiGs: Hope theres no Eagles around. :p

51% 🙁
Thats not so bad if you know almost nothing in the first part and nothing in parts 2/3 😉
In fact, anything over 50% is very good. 😀
