Might be useful for some sim models of this aircraft, but pretty interesting regardless.

Even the comments are informative..

Did you know that standard procedure for SAM evasion was to throttle up and outrun it?

Amazing aircraft. The faster and higher she went, the more fuel she saved.

And fly upwards I seem to remember - It could get higher than most of the missiles so not much was a threat to it at 'cruising' altitude  ;D


I agree - Where can I test out my newly found skills?  :P
