F/a-18 vs F-16

[Lawman]

Figured.

You want to watch the best arguments on the internet? Watch people argue about which aircraft is better than another. They almost never have any experience in those aircraft, or even FLYING for that matter. It happens all the time on AR15.com with F-14 vs F/A-18. Most ridiciulous arguments ever.

Oh I remember the Turkey vs Bug fights on every aviation forum Im on. Or the AR vs AK fights on the gun forums. And Mustang Vs Camero on the car forums. Makes me want to take an asprine just thinking about them.

F/A-18 vs MiG-29, that's good stuff

TIVO'd it... much more interesting actually understanding WTF he's talking about. Ceasar flew with my roommate..

I can relate to what "translating aft" on the canopy looks like. Happens to me all the time... "280?!?! How'd I get this slow???"

no kidding

what the hell, how is he getting better position, oh yeah, I'm bleeding down like a big dog, oh well, time to get back to 300

Or making that Fox 2 call from the perch, he breaks... ok there's the lateral movement, pull hard for the control zone, over shoot, he pulls up, into the flats, I flush out in front, he kills me... we start over.

Yea, I fvcking hate it when that happens. :banghead_

I especially love getting defensive after the first look of the flats... pitch up, rudder shakers, and WTF he's getting behind me again.

anytime I got into a flats, my plan was to bug, not get offensive, just get a good merge so I can get the hell out of there and setup again

I'd fight in other situations, but I knew flats was always a lose situation for me. Better to run and fight another day.

Let's try this at 12 kts....(read slowly)

Fillout my 200 page PQS, submit my 3M paperwork, overshoot the fat Cheng in the chow line, get reamed by the MPA, miss by DCA watch, run a drill, shut down the plant....start over.

There you go Shoe Boy....SWO ACM equivalent. And damn it sounds exciting....not.
