Thanks for the remarks everybody. Appreciate it.
As for why did I get the Hornet : When starting out, I felt it was a good platform with great all round capability - Iam sticking to single player for now , so for eg : If I have been doing too much A2A, I go out there learn how to use LGB and AGM65s, Want a change? Land on a carrier. So alot of latitude with one module!
Why MiG-21 ? Biased answer but here goes : I come from a country which actively flies the MiG-21 to this date, and have seen it fly and it is SPECTACULAR. The landing with the nose high attitude, the delta planform, rudimentary russian avionics. Seems like fun ! Hence, inclined to the MiG-21.
