Sheesh, I produce a spiffy picture of a vapor bubble and you guys turn it into a
"my (insert whatever) is bigger than yours" thread????
 
"Our demo team flys war-ready birds"  
"Ours fly without G-suits"
"We'd wipe out your CV fleet with one sub with nukes"

Honestly, who really frickin' cares which team is better, or who's country has the biggest weapons of destruction???  This was meant to be a post sharing what I thought to be a pretty cool picture with you guys.  Maybe I was wrong in thinking you all would appreciate the picture.   :(

I liked the pic Nifty.

I merely posted links and comments from the Blues and T-Bird pages because I often wonder why people ponder such questions when two clicks on a search engine provide the answer.

There's far more than enough incorrect information floating around; why speculate when the answer is there waiting for you?

You'll note I'm not the one launching the "war scenarios" either. Merely commented on the website info about returning the aircraft to active duty.

Sorry if I stepped on your toes.

It wasn't so much my toes per se as it was me posting a picture that sparked such debates.  Hehe, I just want everyone to get along, play nice and stop comparing testosterone levels.   ;)

Nifty, there's only one guy in here rattling a sabre. It isn't me.

Like I said, nice picture!

Sorry for a stupid post that dosn't belong to this thread, and again thanks to Toad for explaining some things that are "taken for granted" by most of the Russian aviation enthusiasts.
