thats sounds good, but the A10 thunderbolt sounds better.  nothing compares to the sound of one of them on a strafing run

Oh yes...saw these at RAF Holbeach Range...the Jags and F1-11's were pretty impressive too...

Thrust Vectoring and Fly by Wire - FTMFW

I remember when tornado's and bucc's and Jags did displays it was just woosh from left to right and then woosh from right to left, I live near Warton and remember Eurofighter (Typhoons) first flight and after that they were working up a display but remembering in awe that the whole display just stayed within the airport fence, so much power so much turning performance.

What was really scary was the slow flight high alpha pass - 80 Knots on one pass - 500 Knots the next  :rolleye:

Theres not an aircraft in the world that would come near it in fact in a recent exercise in Canada it won 144:Nil , they're struggling to find adversarys that are pushing its pilots.....maybe they cold ship the Israeli's over with some F15's, they may get near em
