F-22 its just damn sexy looking. Also, has the USA had any fights against any enemy with a 'formidable' well trained air force since Vietnam? From what I gather, Libya was a joke, and Iraq war 1 they had 10+ year out dated equipment from what we gave them to fight the Iranians in the Iraq/Iran war and old russian stuff. I guess the Israeli have had their share of combat (don't know if they use f15s or f16s).

Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

'16s I think. Maybe both. Either way, next time might as well just stick with "F-22" and forget the rest, yeah? No offense, just don't want to see yet *another* Hijacked thread.

to hard to name just one
F-14, F4U, F6F, P-47, A-10, Mig-25, Mirage III

Can't believe I forgot about the Mirage family  :o Love the Mirage III  :aok

"I'm unsure why the FAF needed a tropical variant."

Because almost all missions were flown from sand or gravel based aerodromes and the dust problem was quite bad.

I couldn't even tell you why, but for me the MiG-29 is the epitome of teh seksee.








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

In no real order-
prop: fw190, bf110 (thats right the 110), bf109, stuka, any razorback P47, and B17
jet: F14, A10, and the Mig 15
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

None of those aircraft can hold a candle next to the most infamous WW1 fighter ever conceived.   Snoopy's Flying Doghouse. :airplane:
