LOL The Mig looked like it was flying formation at some points.

There was a show on the military channel a while back with the super hornet going up against german Mig29's in mock dog fights. The super hornets hated the helmet-mounted sighting system which allows true off-boresight missile firing capability. Which frees the Fulcrum pilot from pointing his nose at the target to 'lock it up.' In short, that super hornet was dead a dozen times over in that little film.

Mig-29 absolutely owns the super hornet

The Hornet is crap.

Can't replace a feline with an insect.

Quite amazing that there are no helmet mounted sight in F-18 E/F as they are available to the C/D.

What terrible acting... never once did they unhook their oxygen mask so that I could see what they were feeling, what emotions they were having.

Cool video... thanks!

Damn. so that's what those loud noises overhead are. Finally spotted one today during our petanque tourney. Sorry, their deck is not going to include alpine peaks. He broke ROE -- that's the only reason why he won.

Petanque tourney....

RIP Dinger, we will miss you
