A webmaster I know took some pictures at the Ft. Lauderdale air show. I figured I'd post one or two of them.

Hey guys wat kind of damage ya think would happen to the F-22 if the P-51 had working .50cals and got behind em and fired away?

Considering new advancements in Jet Fabricating Materials, wat kind of damage would a snapshot do on a F-22?


(Its a "wat if" question that just came into mind after seeing both aicraft side by side)

Also Would the heat signature from the P-51's Merlin be enough for a Lock On?

To your first question. With all these new advancements in technology it makes them more vulnerable. In my job field small amounts of corrosion on a wire can put a jet out of commission. Let alone a .50cal creating a open in a few.

These photos were taken from a local airshow back in 2006. It was at the Willow Grove airbase, which is sadly closing :(

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

The raptor would be a multi-mullion dollar wreck, fluttering to the ground.

In a real 1v1 though, the pony pilot would be dead before he even knew he was in danger.

It depends on where the 50's hit. There have been a couple F15's that have had most of a wing taken off and still returned to land, the computer and body shape compensating for the lack of wing ( video on subject here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=LveSc8Lp0ZE ). I don't know of any instanaces of an F-22 having this much damage.

For the heat signature, yes, a P-51 puts out enough heat to lock on.
