1) What is on-speed AoA for the Hornet?


Wouldn't AoA vary depending on aircraft weight and weather conditions?
Also, are you sure about that documentary? Last night, I was watching
this documentary that started talking about the MiG-25, but showed
footage of the MiG-29. So many cable shows just mindlessly rehash
simplified versions of books that I've barely watched them at all. The
only ones I could stand were the "Wings of the Red Star", and that was
probably because I hadn't read any books about soviet aircraft.

4) Radar altitude. Is this a switchable thing, or does it show up only
when below a certain altitude, or... something else?


Wouldn't it have to be manual? Did low-flying Intruder pilots use
their radar altimeters over hostile territory in VN?
