  1. what I wonder is if the mig-29k can take off from the carrier with all that fuel.
  2. The best line is when he says; professional russian; lol
  3. How high is. That. Mountai again? Guam is not that high isn't?
  4. What the turks said was that their f-16a are a dangerous opponent to the eurofighter since it is the lightest of the f-16 versions and that the eurofighter pilots are trained to putting lots of emphasis on beyond visual range combat.
  5. Here you go; Blue Impulse in action:
  6. it is mating season for the eagles; unfortunately this eagle has eye problems.
  7. Albright f-16 fans check this out; the mighty Eurofighter on the guns sight of the viper! http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/ricardo.ricjam/5387/
  8. that baby refuses to die
  9. The tomcat performance is a bit of a mystery to me; there are videos of it doing a semi cobra and reaching crazy aoas; the fuselage could produce 40% of the lift. Some stories say that f-14 pilots would use the rudders and differential engine power to outturn eagles and falcons. The thing could accelerate super fast tanks to the variable wings; but it was delicate while landing due to intake shadowing caused by abrupt z axis maneuvers causing engine stalls. The early variants had delicate engines with compressor blades susceptible to failure at high g maneuvers and quick throttle movements. It could stall at high speeds causing unrecoverable spins. The D variant was the best; with better engines but by the time it was getting close to retirement the jet was g-restricted. Anyway it seems like the tomcat was a good airplane but not as user friendly as the f-15 or f-16. Now what I would like to know is if the f-15 wing rock wen stall or if it will just drop the nose.
  10. Man; every time I go to see the Blue Angels I pray for their safety; it is a though job and they make it look easy; those guys are great; in fact all aerobatic teams of the world are awesome.
  11. is that stuff real? if so; those guys are bad ass!
  12. that is a true aviation enthusiasts right there; man second to last is the best lookin airplane:thumbup:
  13. was that an engine failure or a compressor stall?
  14. This appears to the accident. Sad stuff
  15. you can do some crazy moves with acs failure on:thumbup: but if you want to try tvc dowload this http://supermaneuver.narod.ru/
  16. You can do similar flips in lock-on
  17. there was a tornado sim; but I can't find it on youtube
  18. maybe the missile attaches to the door itself and when the door rotates to open the missile comes out; that way you can extend the separation between the missile and the fuselage. the door would have to pivot on the outer corner to rotate; that solution could also simplify the design; since they could just put a conventional rail instead of an ejection mechanism to launch the missile.
  19. The should have bombed the whole place instead of leaving the tail behind.
  20. ok hope it works
  21. here is the demo; at 1:50 you can see that it uses the ruder surfaces to aid the roll.
