The Worthless Thread for Specifically Increasing Post Numbers

i deleted this a few weeks ago... then regretted it.. .. so i decided to put it back
... ... especially since this the biggest thread on and forum and therefore could
be considered a megalodon of it;s own........ :cool:.. (the video has a built in ad
but it;s easy to scroll past...)

capabilities of the new F15-X exhibited on a digital combat similator..... the F-15-X
is more a weapons platform than it is a dogfighter... . it;s intention is to assist the
F22 darkstar platform by carrying the extra missles the F22 cannot.... then
launching them once the F22 darkstar targets and designated enemy fighters
and sends the information to the F15-X.... .

many capabilities of the F22 raptor are top secret.... . but apparently this is one
of the capabilities not classified which only the raptor and no other fighter jet
currently flying can do...

i do that sometimes. ... don;t even know why sometimes.... .but i;ll repost
that video here and see if it works... ...we know the guy who makes these
videos.... he was in the marines serving here in hawaii for a while.... .

 
they say that listening to a soundtrack like this one can trick you into thinking it;s
cold.. ..... and even make you feel cold... when it;s actually hot outside..

of course becoming infected with ciguatera poisoning by eating infected reef fish, can cause
the same thing... 🐟🐡🐠🐠.. ..and to even greater effect...o_O. ..personally
i;d rather just listen to the video... ... :sneaky:

That may be your dads view but that is not the view of the pilots that flew both. By the time the F18 launched the F14 design

I'm not a pilot, but I do follow a few Navy and Airforce aircraft sights and every pilot i can recall says the F18 was a much more advanced airframe. It had significantly better electronics, better maneuverability and was also much easier to maintain and burned far less fuel. It was also a multirole plane that served the purposes of the Navy and Marines. This was something the F14 was never designed to do. By the time the F18 was introduced the F14 design was 15 years old. The modern F18 could serve the air superiority role, the attack role, the ground troop support role, and with the inyroduction of the F18 Growler in 2008 in serves as an electronic attack aircraft that suppresses and jams enemy air defenses and communications systems, and protects US air and ground forces. The F18 replaced no less than 5 different dated planes in the Navy Arsenal. The one thing the F18 did not have was the the AIM-54 Phoenix that had a 85 to 100 mile range. The newest version of the Aim120 (D) is believed to have a comprable range to the old AIM 54.

Proving which plane is better is like proving which car brand is better but everyone i follow says the F14 was way ahead of its time in 1970 but by 1985 it lacked many advances in modern technology. I believe some F14 are still in service in the Iranan Air force. The F22 is still the best air superiority aircarft in the world but the F15 EX will get the job done as well.

I'm gonna keep my MAW opinion out of this. I was at NAS Glenview til it shut down.
I heard both sides of this ad nauseum.

I couldn't tell anyone squat about A/C stats. But the Canucks had F18's when I got stuck up in Goose Bay Labrador for 30 days. What does MAW mean?

how ya been anishinaabe?... .long time no see... :cool: ..... ...my dad told me the policy that forced the navy and marines to retire most of their aircraft in favor of using the F18 in all roles was part of the robert mcnamara doctrine of commonality.... part of which held to a philosphy that making one machine or piece of equipment perform multiple tasks was the best way to go because it saved money.... even if doing that reduced over all capabilities and even if it resulted in heavier losses during a conflict...

he says the navy began swearing to the "superior" attributes of the F18 after being forced to follow that policy because ... in true navy form - the navy did not want to admit it was reducing it;s capability and risk suffering the embarassment that could cause on the public stage....... ... or something like that.... .... i don;t understand all of that and had no idea who robert mcnamara was... looking him up online was rather un-inspiring.... :confused:... but the guy who shoots arrows with us at the archery range who still flies F18s says he was aware of that mcnamara doctrine and agrees it played a major part in what the navy with the F14 and several other aircraft - rather than upgrading and updating them with newer and better electronics etc... like the airforce has done with the F15.... :)
