Eagle is a fine airplane and under some circumstances (the -15C with
AESA,
in BVR engagements) is still competitive with anything in the air. It's
interesting that the Typhoon operators have suddenly found more urgency
in
air to mud software and systems (as has the USAF for Raptor of course).

Right now, most of the potential Disturbers of the World's Peace have
second
and third rate air forces. I wonder how long it will be before someone
with
a first rate air force pops up on the RADAR and ATA becomes a key
mission
again. Probably 20 years and probably China.

You know what, I've flown british jets and with british pilots, and
they both suck. i would take a us made jet anytime over the
eurofighter (i remember when it was called the eurofighter 90 lol)

No you don't. It never was.

oh
yeah, i'm not american either. give me a us made jet anytime. i'll eat
my own crap when a typhoon wins over an f-22 in a neutral setup bfm
engagement.

Get your spoon ready then.
