Well spotted fightingirish, Greg Goebel’s site is full of interesting info.

I’ve said it before so i’ll say it again.

Dumb airframe + smart weapon systems = Super Hornet :diablo:

The annoying thing is that it’s still probably just as (or more) capable as anything the UK has in service 😮

Here is the old V-22 bashing thread 😀 http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4987&highlight=v-22

Sea Harrier FA2 😀

so how does their range fair against bigger crafts like the Eagle or Flanker?

It’s easy to forget just how much bigger the F-15 and Su-27 are compared to the EU fighters.

I think this pic is accurate, I can’t remember who originally posted it 😮

Plans for a fleet of supersonic jets linking the world’s major financial centres, with London as a hub, were disclosed to Jane’s at the Farnborough Airshow last week. Designed by Lockheed Martin’s renowned Skunk Works, the 12-seater jets would be much smaller than the 100-passenger Concorde, retired in 2003 – and would use radical aerodynamic technology to eliminate the sonic booms that prevented Concorde from cruising at high speeds overland.
