I believe the Super Hornets are getting AIM-9X and the HMCS as we speak. I
HAVE seen pics of SH on deck with AIM-9Xs just dont know if that was still
in testing or not.

Am I correct in saying that our aircraft do not have helmet
mounted sighting system ala the MiG-29? As I understand the
MiG system, if the pilot can see the enemy, he can launch
and be reasonably sure of a kill. AIUI, our system,
especially for I/R AAM, is more limited in off the nose
capability. Information appreciated....could not find what
I was looking for doing Google.

A discussion rages on a car board, of all things.

Thanks
