Nooch Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 It's surprising he said that R-27 missiles have a short range compared to AIM-120s. I thought it was the opposite... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
bernp Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Enjoyed the article. What a dream job he had, the lucky bastard. Thanks!
Boberro Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 It's surprising he said that R-27 missiles have a short range compared to AIM-120s. I thought it was the opposite... Didn't he mean R family, not ER? Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Mike5560 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Great read, I foresee this being linked in some of the forum's air-air aircraft threads. Interesting to hear his take on the F-35, with his extensive background of actual flying experience.

BRAVO_16 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 A long read but really worth it. Why would he have to redact his comment if he is retired? Maintain thy airspeed lest the ground rise up and smite thee!
