reschke Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 ‘When the Hornet maxed out at Mach 1.6 (didn’t make its max), I was approaching Mach 2 and closing rapidly. Just as I was about even with him, the Hornet pilot, who was responsible for navigating, started a hard left turn without warning." https://theaviationgeekclub.com/that-time-an-f-4-phantom-ii-outran-an-f-a-18-hornet-and-zoomed-at-82125-feet-per-minute/ Warthog #1397...compliments of SimHQ
QuiGon Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Nice story, although it makes it even more difficult to wait for the DCS F-4 :D Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Jonne Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Yeah anything below Mach 2 is not worth spooling up anyway ;) . [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bozon Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 “If you can’t make it to mach 2, don’t bother making mach 1.” - A4, A10, and Harrier pilots :thumbup: “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!
tflash Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Nice story, although it makes it even more difficult to wait for the DCS F-4 :D Sweet dreams are made of this! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
