2006 Atlantic City Airshow - F-16 Fighting Falcon Demo

[laurensmalter]

I hate fighter planes like this, launch a guided missile from far away to hit an enemy, the pilots of WWII were the last true pilots, had to get on an enemy's ass to shoot him down..

Fly Boys 'ya god damn show off's XD jk

Another thing that bug in the f-22 all-weather,stealth,superiorit­y fighter.

Guess what?

The glorious f-22 can't go out in the rain!

In simple words:it can't take any drop of water on it's fuselage,otherwise it becomes visible!

I must mention that almost 70% of the f-22 fleet's got a large ammount of corrosion on special I mean,very special parts os the fuselage.

Dream's over!

[jimbubble]

The f-22 is a super-flying machine until someone mentions "SU-35".

The f-22 is sooooooooo great that the US cancealed the production due to 1/50 (1 hour flying/50 under maintenance).

That's not affordable for US thats ridiculous.

Thats why they invented the Silent Eagle f-15 new version.

Again Su-35 beats f-15 (any model) everytime!

That sentence avobe that was heard in India Brasil and Russia,was actually pronounced by USaf General "x".

End of story!

[Inklebonker1]

First of all i wan you to tell me who cancelled the f22 it wasnt but further production on it was put to a hault. Secont if it was cancelled do you really think they would keep it in the airshows whithout telling the public that this plane you are about to see is cancelled and why would they keep promoting it.

[williejayhawk]

Not magic? Have you studied the (unclassified) capabilities of the AN/APG-77?! Integrated avionics? Thrust vectoring augmented by helmet mounted cueing for greater off bore sight capability? Eagle and Viper drivers b**ching because their entire flight gets wiped out before anybody even gets one tally in dissimilar ACM? Lets just go ahead and call it magic hmmm?

[1889SSWolf]

Doesn't matter, flares, chaff, it's all the same. All it takes if for the enemy aircraft to squak the same code as American aircraft, it's been done before. It was done in Desert Storm bu the Iraqi's. American pilots actually shot down some pf their own guys because they fired "beyond visual range" and relied on the radar instead obtaining a visual first. Again, the F-22 doesn't hold any "magic" abilities over any other aircraft.

[sharkfin2009]

not all missiles are heat seeking....and chaf is iffy at best

[1889SSWolf]

That whole "beyong visual range" only works if the opposing aircraft DOESN'T have flares to decoy the missile. By that time, both aircraft are within visual range and the dogfight begins rendering the F-22 the same.

[Johnsjenyl]

F16 Multirole is a wicked jet but our F22 Raptor is far more supeior. F22 Can lock on sooner then any other jets can and fire a missle before the enemy jet even locks on.

[dragefyr]

Yeah but f22 is so advanced almost no pilots can fly it. or they really have a hard time flying it

[Johnsjenyl]

Us pilots have no problem flying the F22.

thats why we practice everyday. :)

[dragefyr]

Idk if i forgot to put some in it but it is a really advanced jet, pilots also have hard learning how to fly it.

[SoldierDood]

Yeah ok This thing was made to be better then those jets.

[Sneak693]

no it was made to be the best bang for your buck

dont get me wrong F-16 is a great, but there are better Russian jets

[RaceNeked]

Yeah...those MiGs that ran into an F-16 and survived, RAN...

Took them commies almost 40 years & thrust vectoring technology to do what the F-16 did in 1976.

To this day, I guarantee you that even in the new Su-35; you don't wanna run into a pissed-off Falcon in the wrong air corridor.

[Sneak693]

I think you better do some more research (or start some)

[RaceNeked]

I'd rather be in a Falcon than ANY soviet built piece of trash. You wanna trust your life to their quality control, or ours?

I'd pit your Su-35 against our CURRENT technology, but there's no comparison.

[Sneak693]

lol ok like i said do some research or back up what your saying with references

[RaceNeked]

No references... This is strictly a personal point of view.

I live in the greatest country on earth: Its just a shame that we have the government we do!

BOTH parties screw the citizen...

[RaceNeked]

O.K., so I watched a video of the Su-35;  mehhh.

The bottom line is that we were ahead of the Ruskies with the HiMAT program. We were playing with this technology in the '80s...

If you think the F-22 is our most advanced aircraft, then you don't understand our government.

Trust me, the advanced stuff we fly is far beyond the F-22 or 35/37 is capable of.

Essentially, they have copied OUR technology; FROM THE EARLY 1980's - I fail to see how they have 'advanced beyond our capabilities'.

[x6y7z8]

this is babytoy compared to the russian airplane fighters

[CodyRocksDrums]

the f-16 rocks

[kai1100]

i agree 100%
