I was joking, I just put that in there because I like the plane and the picture.

My comment was to correct the 35s stats, not to compare it to the 52 which I agree is a awesome plane, with impressive abilities. The b-52 IS fuel/payload limited by MTOW. Empty 185k + 310k fuel + 70k equals 565k minus 488k MTOW. So at max weapons the plane has to takeoff minus 77k fuel load. This doesn't really…

You present a false equivalence... because everyone’s done something bad does not mean they are all equally bad. If you can’t see that western culture is a demonstrably superior form for a society... just because we live in our current real world full of hard choices and shades of grey. You act like since everything’s…

If it’s leaking that means it’s not empty, some of our helocopter pre flights are to checks are to make sure it’s leaking...

F-35a 29,000 +18,500 fuel + 18,500 weapons equals 66,000 lbs.

Worse he’s polish and love Putin and Russia, which is like an abused wife who still loves her abuser.

Irregardless....

Your on an American Forum on an American website insulting every American.... Why bother? Dredging up bush and his failures is not new, clever, or insightful.

Really?

I’ll walk that back about Lemay, meant to be funny based on stereotype of him.

Also the f-14b/d had a maximum placard speed of Mach 1.82 because the intakes didn't get bigger but it had better acceleration which mattered more.

Its what I say to my nephews, ages 3 and 5. I got It from pulp fiction

In the early nineties the yf series were demonstrators for an Air Dominance fighter. At the time dogfights stilled seemed a real possibility and were a requirement. It’s not known how the 23 would have changed... Much heavier, draggier, needs a radar, needs a totally new weapons bay/launcher design, didn’t fire a…

The f-22 gained 10,000 pounds in transition which the f-23 would have also done. The hybrid tails were heavy and a disadvantage in ACM, also since full FBW systems use the stabilizers for lift they increase the effective wing area. The f-22 has 840 vs 900 ft wing area. With the weight gain it’s range would decrease.…
