Default The F14 vs what we are doing now


wrote in message
ups.com...
guys have been talking about the eagle and the tomcat as dogfighters -
either one have been really ever vaunted
as good turning jets. they are bvr platforms. the hornet and viper can
easily defeat both the eagle and tomcat in
practically any turning engagement


The numbers I ran across indicate that the sustained turn rate of the F-15C
is just about the same as that of the F/A-18E, and not that far off from
that of the F/A-18C. All apparently reside in the high teens arena in that
regard.

aesa radars in elmendorf based eagles are very, very good...
