It's really funny Cap'n, it's Afghanistanimation.

Like this:

16-09 Drop AC-130 U (Hurlburt, FL) EC-130 NAV (Davis Monthan, AZ) MC-130J CSO (Kadena, Japan) C-130H Guard Nav (Reno, NV) U-28 CSO (Cannon, NM) E-3 Nav (Tinker, OK) 2 X F-15E (Seymour Johnson, NC) Everyone except for one person got their top choice, and he got his 4th.

Think of how many eagles we would have now had we been able to shoot behind us in the dog fights during Desert Storm!!!

Tail gunners. When the Eagle first came out they were planning on having a tail gunner but instead ditched them to save weight. Worst mistake ever in my opinion.

Fearmycessna, don't listen to these naysayers. First off the USAF needs new F-15's. We simply are unable to keep up with the current air to air workload that modern ops demands of our resources. You probably haven't seen the latest dogfighting stats from the Middle East or heard some of the F-15C recent war stories but I urge you to seek them out. Fascinating stuff. You have correctly figured out that an important aspect of Air to Air is looks. That's why the F-14 was such a damn fine dog fighter. Turned on a dime with those wings swept back. So I'd like to see maybe a variable wing F-15 with canted tales. With a sick paint job, shark teeth on the front with skull and crossbones on the tails.

Let's see how far this thread goes. Please, continue.

Cessna: HANDLES HANDGRIPS RAISE, TRIGGERS SQUEEZE.

At this point, forget anything new. Build the same raptor so we have more than 183 or whatever were at now. Even that plan is most likely a bridge too far at this point. Nice of them to talk about reniging on one of the dumbest procurement moves in decades, but I'm pessimistic these talks will ever lead to meaningful action.

Wouldn't it be "chr'd phx egl brd"?
