I was lucky enough to meet the pilot of the Collings Foundation's B-25 and we talked for a good bit. I'm going back when its not so busy to get a seat in the TBM and the Bobcat for some more pictures. I have plenty of the Avenger but none of the interior. When I say this plane was...

Took a trip to the Collings Foundation today during their open house...

Most 4.5 generation fighters like the Typhoon II are about the same fly away cost as the F-22. If you want a good fighter, you have ot pay for it.

Couple of small updates

Indeed. All that needs to be seen is the aftermath on the Highway of Death during the first Gulf War.

Indeed. Those are steallar images of the F-22. I very much like the first one with the condensation streamers just forming at the wing roots. Nice photography.

We are hoping the Collings Foundation will bring the B-17 and B-25 back to our Airport this year like they did last year. This time though our Squadron is having a World War II Hangar Dance. Should be a good thing.

Once again, do you have ANY proof the F-22's pilots cannot pull the highest turns? I didn't think so.

What a bunch of flawed logic. Thrust vectoring is a very big advantage for the F-22 pilot over the Typhoon II pilot.

Its suspect because it was done by Americans. I've not been around here long, but I've been around long enough to know Soren is very anti-American biased.

Graeme, that is correct.

Then the game is over even before it started for the Typhoon II. The F-22's far superior radar and detection system would have picked up the Typhoon II before they even knew the F-22 was out there. You keep changing the goal posts Soren, and you still keep looking like the fool.

I already did that pages ago. Soren claimed the Typhoon II was more manuverable than the F-22. It isn't. I never said they were useful in combat but they DO show the manuverability of the aircraft. Stealth, high speed supercruise, high manuverablility, superior radar and avionics all...

The Typhoon II still cannot out manuver the F-22. Lemme know when the Typhoon II can do a Herbst maneuver, Pugachev's Cobra or the Kulbit as well as having control of roll at 60 degree AOA's.

No what you said was, and I quote "The only a/c I see as a match for the F-22 is the Eurofighter Typhoon." you were claiming the F-22 and Typhoon II are equal. As that is exactly what match means. The Typhoon II is NOT a match for the F-22. The F-22 exceeds the capabilities of the...
