Is there a way to compare the maneuverability of some of the fighter jets currently in service in different AF around the world? Some charts with numbers, like turn radius etc. I'm interested in a comparison between F-16, F-15, F/A-18E/F, F-22, F-35, Mig-29, Su-30, Rafale, Typhoon. Basically you hear "this one has TVC", "that one has amazing maneuverability in supersonic speeds", "this one can perform Cobra", "that one has a great thrust-to-weight ratio" and so on and so forth. But is there any data to back the claims that one particular aircraft is superior in terms of maneuverability and to allow to draw some conclusions as to which one is and in what conditions?

French AASM (Air-to-Ground Modular Weapon) manufactured by Sagem:

Always a pleasure :)

Check out the pilot's helmet :)

Plenty but I already did my favorites :)

Thanks for the link and no, I'm done with skin making :thumbup:

Awesome photo! Ross, what F-16 blocks is the Belgium Air Force currently operating?

Boeing F/A-18E/F IRST System is advancing to EMD (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) phase more info: http://www.defpro.com/news/details/26535/?SID=6ad0be98a2d91ba29c4b709ebe92e319 About time :)

Nice pics Ross. I'm always amazed when I see an old aircraft next to a new one. It's incredible what an advance in technology has been made for some 30 years that separate these 2 aircraft.

^^ Nice! If available post some pics of the air shows.

Some Eurofighter and Rafale pictures:

Actually I don't have any idea. Checking out the first 3 images properties it seems they have been taken in 2005-2006, I just found them on my HDD and can't trace them to the source I downloaded them from.

Glad you like them as always :thumbup: I'll make sure I'll continue to search/find/post pictures of these beauties.

That`s unfortunate. I hope he ejected and didn`t sustained serious injuries.

After the events that took place in March I was concerned that it might be delayed. It`s great to see it`s first flight is still scheduled for 2014. Thanks for the news Antartis.

Thanks, this seems to be a Su-27SM from the Lipetsk Air Base, at least it looks like those based there.

^^ loool go pick her up with the boat!

wow the second picture! Eternal beauty :thumbup: What`s the exact designation of this aircraft? I`m having difficulties telling Su-27 from Su-27SM from Su-35.

That was great I played with it for several minutes, fed him/her with 20-30 insects :)
