On a similar note, I've seen TACTS range replays of an F-15 division
absolutely humbled by a division of F-5E's. If I was enroute to a
multiplane air-to-air fur ball, the F-15 would be my weapon of choice
(until recently anyway). But there are days when the dog walks you.

I imagine Chuck Yeager in a P-51 could wax my ass in an F-22. "It's the
man, not the machine." and "I'd rather be lucky than good any day." Like
John said, I don't think anyone believes that Super Bug to be anything than
Raptor food in an "even" match. But all's fair in love and war, and that
photo will certainly make for some great bragging rights!

Out of curiosity John, would you take the F-15C over the F-14D in a
multiplane furball? With your two-seater vs. solo-seater experience, I'd be
curious to hear your reasons. Cheers,

Tony
