Sharkey's account was refuted in detail by the other pilots involved.

all i know is i seen F15 & Eurofighters demonstraiting aerobatics
at an airshow in Berlin. The Eurofighter could almost turn 180° on place, it
looked so unrealistic. And btw. it was the loudest plane at the airshow.
A good Pilot + Eurofighter @ dogfight = very dangerous.

So Smidsy your saying they were better pilots. Forget the fact that they were going up against a 33 year old airframe and fighter/bomber no less in the F-15E in a controlled scenario?

I wanna see what happens when the Raptor actively participates in Red Flag Excersize if this is the case.

The British pilots themselves were almost as surprised at winning an encounter with an aircraft widely regarded as the best fighter in the world.

MMM I dunno about this one but my senses tell me that when the Typhoon flew over the other day it was a pretty handy piece of kit!

Is F22 in operational structure of army or only on to do list ?

dont be afraid amrikaan friends we dutch eurotard usa prettythang lickers will buy the JSF.

Would be interesting against a F16 btw.

The F15 is just to big and got 2 engines so it must be crap.

I would be more impressed if it would have beaten latest Sukhois, Rafales, or Gripens.

Im afraid its same story like Windows vs. linux.....

Do you know whitch of those 2 is more secure ?

And i guess that in community of virtual pilots aka ubber tards its more that clear that its not only about airplanes

Did you see russian Phantasmagoria these ?

The euroturd fighter will never even see the F22 coming... That is one key difference. Dog fighting is a thing of the past and a plane designed to do so is a waste of money... They will be blown from the sky before they even say tally ho!
Its just like the Euros to put up an OLD attack ac against their newest and best ac. I guess they are trying to market the ac and that is the best they can do.

They've been saying that for the last 60 years. Only thing that has changed is the techniques used to down the other plane. If they thought dogfighting was over we wouldn't have Top Gun type schools.
