  1. When the F14/15/16/18, hit the market, all one heard was how they were over complicated and cost to much! Here is a pilot out maneuvering six pilotless missile which were hell bent on blowing him out of the sky. That alone says a lot about the aircraft, the F15 has never been shot down and you really do not want to mess with the other two! Thank God someone has came to their senses and upgraded these awesome aircraft!

  2. I watched a scifi movie where it was stated that the US replaced the titanium skin with a composite, and no one ever knew about it. When I saw a SR71 up close and personal, I examined the skin especially the edges and sure enough, there were fibers sticking out of the skin at the edges.

  3. I notice and commented on the same thing! Folded down when in absolute stealth mode, then up, when they have to maneuver!

  4. The same things were said about the F14,15,16 & 18, once the bugs were worked out they turned out to be the greatest military aircraft's in the world! By the way, if I were the enemy, I would be absolutely terrified of that F17! It must be so technologically advanced that no one has ever seen or even heard anything about it, oh my!

  5. I'm surprised that you did not pick up on the slots in the wings for the vertical stabilizers to fold down into, thus creating a stabilizer-less aircraft. The vertical stabilizers probably fold down when in absolute stealth mode, then pop back up when maneuverability is required.

  8. After a bit of thought, it dawned on me that the reason the F-35 was way over budget and took so long to be produced is; they were building two fighters simultaneously, hiding the 6th generation behind the 6th generation's development. That is how they surprised the world with the sudden development and production of the 7th generation fighter! Clever, now that begs the question; how far along are they on the development of the 8th generation, oh my!

  9. It did not take American's long to add guns to the F4, after, they realized their folly! The best gauge to judge when guns are no longer needed is when, your enemy stops putting them on their fighters! America has been living in some type of fantasy world when it comes to weapons needed for war, since WWII! Hi-tech is fine and dandy but, you will always need an accurate, reliable gun, and you better know how to use it! Why do you think fighter pilots always, always carry a side arm on their person!

  10. Duh, as soon as they begin work on the next 'whatever', they also begin to build its replacement from what they learn from the next 'whatever' they began work on!

  11. What you think they are going to tell us! If they do then they tell the enemy, and the enemy does not need to know.

  12. I did not think of that, thank you for the enlightenment!
