The AIM 54 Phoenix system could destroy a bomber sized target from 75 miles out and further.... And flying CAP doesnt require you to go cold start and fly to altitude, ur already there....
Does that count as the interceptor role pD???
plan_D said:Interesting thought about the Lightnings and F-15s. It'd work perfectly. The idea of the Lightning simply was to be up there first and slow, or hold up, the enemy until the better armed machines could be up into combat.
With a Lightning/F-15 combo ...it would have been the Lightning the shield, the F-15 the sword.
