Can you elaborate, because, what you wrote makes absolutely no sense. F-20 was meant to be a cheap export fighter and it got axed because F-16 was released for export to non-NATO allies. Also, Navy vs USAF.

4 guys, that's all I can see

let’s try this again

You want speed?

At least for the Navy, contractors could not go beyond a 180' after the merge. This may have loosened up a bit since the KFIRS started carrying Sidewinder training rounds, but it’s is not like BFM training. More targets/jamming etc.

10 years from now we will realize the F35 is a hell of a lot better than the current public trashing it faces now.

eff you google - number of playbacks exceeded?

pun intended?

R2-D2's brother that shoots RAM for instance.

Sadly he’s leaving at the end of next week.

That’s my gun!!! Seriously, I was the OPS/CSO on GTN when we installed the Block 1B mounts she currently has. I was really proud of the work my Sailors put in on getting it installed, calibrated, and getting rounds down range. It was probably the smoothest thing on that entire tour.

The Vulcan when electrically driven can fire 6000 rounds per minute, but when in the Phalanx CIWS it is pneumatically driven and only* fires 4500/min.

Likewise. And the commenters on those stories— it’s like a magnet for the self-righteous, judgmental, downright hateful, and the hyperbolic know-nothing club.

They will use their legacy/F-35 force very creatively, as the USAF is trying to do as well, but the F-15 provides capabilities an F-35 cannot and visa-versa.

Right on! We’ll follow you anywhere. I read your work all through high school and college, and I just got into flight school for the USMC on a pilot slot. I have this goal to contribute to a piece for you one day.

There’s a Hulk-shaped torpedo headed to this ship, so who cares if ‘Time’ is stamped on the lifejackets.
