That's what I saw on The History Channel, but then the link provided by Matra has a seemingly true story as well so now I'm confused.Originally Posted by pAinTrAin
My personal favourite is the F15. It gets to mach 2.5 topspeed, can take off vertical as soon as its loose from the ground.
The mig 29 is overrated, sukhois are much cooler.
This weekend there's a huge airshow in the Netherlands of the airforce here.
The best stuntteams in the world will be there (yes even the blue angels).
Anyway I hope there will be some more russian planes this time.
I have only seen mig 29s mig 23 or 27 (dont know those very well) and an SU 25 And just about every plane the western nations use.
And for those who like F16s, those will still be in use for a very long time by various countries (we will put them away as soon as the JSF is finished).
I love the United States.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine
I love even more that when they're done with a plane they sell it to some other contry as long as they have better ones.
My favorite is the F-22 Raptor. It can be a steath, and air to ground. It's also taking place of the Harrier that the Marines use. Might not be the best plane out there, but it's my favorite. I think it looks sexy. It can go from steath to being able to carry bombs on the wings in minutes. It can cruise at + mach speed without using its after burners.

I dont know...
I do know there will be a french, jordanian stuntteam, and the US navy blue angels aswell. But I havent really checked out whats coming.
But right now im about to leave.
I'll try to fix a digital cam (dont have one myself) and make some pics if I can get my hands on one.
Well the Snowbirds are the Canadian stunt team, like the Blue Angels just betterOriginally Posted by quattro_20v
MiG-29 Fulcrum owns all!!!!!
i think they are going to be retired soon as the snowbirds have had more than a few incidents in the last few yearsOriginally Posted by pAinTrAin
They don't matter anyway cause the Thunderbirds own all.Originally Posted by pAinTrAin

The F 35 is one of the versions of the Raptor.Originally Posted by clutch-monkey
Izzat so!?Originally Posted by Jarod_C
Last I check the F-35 is a completely different airframe than the F-22. 1 vs 2 engines, and a whole different body. I don't think that it's possible to mod the Raptor into the JSF.

Ah the F-22...That is one nice looking plane IMO. It is a much more graceful stealth plane than the edgy F-117. I've seen a F-22 in person at the Dayton air museum and it was good.Originally Posted by KonaGreen
