you flew them.

I'll be the last to flaunt my currency. The last systems I flew were
F-23, MiG-29, MiG-31, ASF (a notional Advanced Soviet
Fighter--paralleling ATF development) and F-15C, but those were all in
the multi-player interactive domes at Northrop--not real airplanes.
So, you've got the advantage on me.


I noticed you mentioned the Mig-31 in there. I was wondering
something. maybe you know the answer. I watched a Wings episode a
while back on the Mig-25 and -31 and the Mig-31 seems to be a pretty
impressive machine. My question is, is the reason those Alaskan
F-15Cs got the AESA radars to help them deal with Foxhounds? It just
seems a little strange that 1. more F-15s haven't got them

Stay tuned.
