actually F-15 v Typhoon, Typhoon DID kick the F-15 ass  8)

a year or two ago a pair of USAF F-15's tried to jump a lone typhoon and both were "shot down" in mock combat over the UK  

I like to find some type of real information relating to that.

Here you go:

AirForces Monthy Magazine confirmed it in an earlier issue this year.
According to the article, the USAF pilots hadn't a clue what hit them untill they got back to base and were told about the Typhoon!  ;D  

The only jet to match the Eurofighter at present is the Raptor - but even that might be a close match when the later Tranche 3 Typhoons get into service...

That isn't known yet as the Americans won't let the Raptors and Typhoons see each other on excercises.

Dude, even a the EE Lightning was capable of outflying that thing.

But lets not forget the EE Lightning was, and still is, a great aircraft.
It just lacked the range and ordinance carrying capabilities to make it truly outstanding...

I still don't see how someone could think a Lightning is a good looking airplane..

Well in fairness to it it was designed specifically to defend UK airspace therefore eliminating the need for any great range and being a dedicated fighter aircraft it didn't need the huge carrying capacity required by multirole types.

out fly it as in speed or preformance?

[Woodlouse2002]

Both. Although the performance is a close run thing though. I believe in trials the Lightning only just came out top.

Because Some people have bad taste,.....(LMFAO).

Man.....dude-(mate) just plz be quite, your really getting on my nerves comparing a American Fighter to a English fighter, I can see your being proud which is great, but the F-16 will Smoke Your EE anytime. Like I said The EE could beat the F-14 in Menuverbillity and the F-14 would shoot the EE out of the sky.
