I think its great if its true and I have no reason to believe that it isn't.  This just struck me as some very biased writing.  If it were in quotes I'd understand but this is definitely slanted.

The US pilots intended to pursue the supposedly hapless 'Limey' for several miles and lock their radars on to it for long enough so that if it had been a real dogfight the British jet would have been shot down.


'Limey' is not in quotes.  That just bugs me.

The Eurofigher is newer, and designed for air superiority, so sounds very plausible.  We can only coast so far before...  wait, what?  Hold on, I'm getting some sort of newflash here...  it says...  that there's actually a successor to the F-15!  Wait, there's more!

Apparently, it's called the...   the..  damnit, it's not coming through this static!  Ah yes, there is is: The F-22.

Substitute an F-22 for the 2x30 year old plane designs, and it'd be a bit more shocking.

Yeah, nothing shocking to me about the euro taking out the 2 f-15's. It's a state of the art fighter, fighting older aircraft. Not taking anything away from it, it is a nice bird. But any modern aircraft outta be able to do so. I saw on a program recently on the history channel where an f-22 engaged 3 or 5(can't remember which one) f-15's and smote them. I think it would be interesting for the f-22 and euro to go at it, I bet it would be good.

in another f-22 vs. eurofighter thread, I recall a 2 F-22's taking on 8 f-15's (or were they f-16's) and winning (might have been 12, slept since then) so I wouldn't jump up and down about winning vs. only 2.

F22 is also as expensive as 10 F15s or something like that, so it better wipe 'em out en masse :D

Throw a JSF in the mix and it REALLY gets interesting.

Upon further review, I believe it.  It was an F-15E, a strike platform, not a fighter.  It's not shocking that a lightweight pure fighter could turn the tables on a bomber in a turning engagement.

what you are all forgetting is that it is not the plane but the pilot. you can have the best plane ever made and you will lose to superior pilots.
