Allowed refutes the monkey sock's cluelessness too, Johnny.


I wouldn't speak for the US Military or the FAA if I were you Tarver.


Why is that?

Anyway, before monkey sock so rudely interupted, I was discussing the

20#
stick breakout for the F/A-18. Something anyone who ever flew the

airplane
would know as part of their training. I suspect "an additional 33#" of
stick force added to the regular pull of the SU 27 directly into one's
crotch would be less than fun. I'd go with flicking the switch.


Fair point. Don't you think in combat, the pull-through might be more

actual
use?


I don't believe the cobra is a viable combat manouver, but I suppose the use
of the pull through might be useful where the operator is scared ****less.
I expect that during a dog fight where your competetor is colsing for a shot
fear would be part of the equation.
