Not in a dogfight- the Jaguars would win by sneaking and bouncing the CAP flight. Reports of exercises aren’t worth jack squat. The exercise in India with indian SU-30s versus F-15s was staged, and nobody used radar, strangley this all happened while the F-22 was being debated. The VF-32 F-14B versus Israeli F-16s was reported very heavily in the favor of the Israelis- reason being is the Navy sent to nuggets out to get their experience, a Veteran driver had no problem fighting an unloaded Israeli F-16 to bingo fuel for the F-16 in WVR. Only point here is that exercises have a point other than “rack up the kills”. Those are just bragging rights at the end.

BTW Nizmo, the large white rectangular object on the forward R/H side of the canopy frame rail is the compass correction card.

My little 100 yens, but…
In the late 70"s, Mirage IIIE of French Air Force 2nd Fighter’s Wing succeeded to beat USN F-14 during an exercise…
During Red Flag 89-2, French Air Force Jaguar A of 7th Fighter’s Wing often beat USAF F-16 in Dogfight, while Jaguar doesn’t have a radar neither F1 capacity…
So, I guess, drill testimonies referring to balance of power also have a very weak relevance…

These unique cases means nothing…
http://theaviationist.com/2010/05/13/mb-339cd-kill-markings/Does this mean that MB-339 is the best fighter in the world? Of course not. Extrapolating from some unique cases is misleading. The lessions of AIMVAL and ACEVAL is still ture. THat is all, no more…

Blah blah … F-15 is better than blah blah blal … no blah blah F-14 is but blah blah …
These unique cases means nothing…
This is precisely what Raduim is saying. :roll:
…
The real best fighter/bomber in the world is a yellow F-16 with Doug Masters inside , and way better than a F-14 with Pete Mitchell because Doug can fire “Maverick” while still on the ground.
Go Doug go …

I am even sure, a legacy Mitsubishi F-1 :
Could kill a F-22 in some conditions…
So, IMO one single story or single testimony is totally unrelevant…
-
I’ve seen many exercises where they have limited the ability on certain aircraft to either give the opponent a level playing field or totally hamstrung one so that the other wins. All down to rules of the exercise in progress. Real world tells all. Never has an F-14 had to kill an F-15 and visa-versa. So it can all only be speculation based on flight rules etc.

I think all we can be sure of, is that shes lost that loving feeling…

No she hasn’t….I hate it when she does that!

I see a future Falcon online session where the strikers and bombers carry AIM-9s or AMRAAMs just to hang something on their wingtips, and the radio is full of FOX THREE, LONG followed by PITBULL, 2 minutes later.

Molny come on… Give the man a break… It looks super ultra perfect.

Wil the marked section get higher res. texture. They seems to me much lowres comparing to rest of cockpit.
You do realize that you don´t even see this part when the canopy is closed?

If you want to fix the shape of the stick, let me know as I have the old Mason catalog with the blueprints as a .pdf.

How many triangles on your work, Nizmo?
