Default Gen Jumper praises Eurofighter

"US Air Force chief praises Eurofighter

21 July 2004

LAAGE - The chief of staff of the US Air Force, General John P.
Jumper, was quoted Wednesday as praising the Eurofighter Typhoon after
a test flight on the much-maligned jet, which has been in service just
11 weeks with the German Air Force.

"I've flown all the air force jets. None was as good as the
Eurofighter,"; he said, according to an account by the German Air
Force of his Tuesday try-out of one of the two-seater jets based at
Laage Air Force Base near the Baltic coast city of Rostock.

The general praised the jet fighter for its agility, manoeuvrability,
acceleration and precise navigation. "

It does seem an very inappropriate thing to say with the F15 in
competition with the Typhoon in Singapore!!,.

If true, Its quite statement from Gen Jumper!. (or is that Private
Jumper now?)

Cheers
