will do, ;)
but i´m a bit sceptic(spelling?) still, i find it interesting that there are only those two mentions of the situation, and the first one was, shall we say b.s.:)
the second one.... honestly, i think it looks more like propaganda... well like i said, i´ll see what i findB|

BTW: is that your pic on on your userpic?

Sometimes I wonder why we retired the Iowa class ships. Anything that can spit 9 tons of high explosives from 20 miles out is gonna get everybody's attention.

lol ... that's still inconclusive either way ... I never heard it from that Venik dude, so he's obviously not the only source to this.

Haha, I've always wanted to use that line:P



Trailer 11/12 was the best. Thanks for the memories ... you guys rocked!

Please read more of those posts on r.a.m....
i think they proved well enough with the plane serials etc that all b-2´s are ok.
I think the couple pages you gave link to, just took the bait....;)
overall, this has been a nice thread to PW:P:P

seriously, about the pic, any details??

Nice read there! The Mig-29s are definately a very very agile airframe!! Those things will fly circles around ours, except for the up and coming F-22. The thing about it is, however, the avionics of our F-15s is truely unbelievable!!! (The F-22s are getting better ones if you can believe that!) The only way a Mig-29 would stand a chance against an Eagle (F-15) is in a close air combat ... long range, Eagles win hands down (as you saw by the stats).
They managed to only down F-16s, which are agile crafts, but not quite as much as the Fulcrum (Mig-29). Also, the F-16s are not built for air superiority (like the Eagles) and do not have the avionics ...
Those Vipers (F-16s) probably were on "wild weasal" missions (the F-16CG for instance) ... which is a very tough mission sent to destroy the SAMs and clear the paths for other aircrafts. This is just IMHO, however.
Thanks for the readB| I definately love those Migs! If we had em with our avionics technology, it'd be so cool ... but alas, we have our Raptor (F-22) coming!!
