Title: who would win?
Post by: Wildcat1 on November 07, 2010, 04:31:05 PM: went to an airshow in Jacksonville, Florida a couple weeks ago and was wondering....

in a no-holds-bar dogfight, with pilots of equal skill, who would win, the F/A-18 or the Su-27?

honest, un-biased answers please.

The F18 has been the cornerstone of US Navy aviation for 2 decades for a reason! :salute

i agree because i heard somewhere that Russian aircraft are still assembled using rivets, therefore making it unsuitable for extreme ACM's

Su27 without a doubt.

Seems that the Su-27's air to air is quite a longer range.

Post by: Heater on November 08, 2010, 05:45:46 AM: Lot of "Unknowns" but in a straight up knife fight the Su-27 would have the upper hand.
Title: Re: who would win?
Post by: Shuffler on November 08, 2010, 09:25:37 AM: I'm calling it equal if the Su27 was not thrown together like so many of the russian aircraft have been through the years.

I think it would depend on the skill and training of the pilot.
