All this mention of the Vulcan, I must go see what it looks like...

 You just used up your one-time, one-use exemption...

[Scorpiоn]

Rats, what was it for, anyway? And what's this room 101?

The Vulcan, erm...

My vote for a modern airforce:

• Fighter
  • MiG-MAPO
• Attack
  • A-10 Thunderbolt II/Warthog (What's the difference between the two anyway?)
• Bomber
  • B-1 Lancer

Fighter: MiG-29M Fulcrum

Attack: A-10 Thunderbolt II

Bomber: B-1B Lancer

Interceptor: Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow

Dorks call it the thunderbold, real pilots call it the Warthog


I apoligize if I insulted anyone

Obviously, the A-10 looks NOTHING like a "JUG"; it's as ugly as a  WART and likes to wallow down low in the mud like a HOG!

It's like not calling a P-47 Thunderbolt a "Jug".

Air Superiority - A-4 Skyhawk (invincible in a turning fight)

Bomber - B-2 Spirit

Attack - A-10

Interceptor - F-16

No helicopters? oh well.

   Fighter: F-22
   Attack: A-10 (or a Comanche if it could be helicopters)
   Bomber: B-52 (or an armed 737 )

Seeing how I'm not really a fan of the F/A-22 (I've got my reasons),
and Russian jets turn me on. I quite liked this picture.


Of course I'll have my name slandered for this.

Steve-O, what the heck are those Russian birds?  Judging by the forward-swept wings they look like they have the aerodynamic qualities of a brick.


BTW I can tell that F-22 wasn't in the original picture .

[ChuckMajik]

They're Su-47 (S-37) Berkut's.
As for the forward swept wing, well...

The swept-forward wing, compared to a swept-back wing of the same area, provides a number of advantages: higher lift to drag ratio; higher capacity in dogfight manoeuvres; higher range at subsonic speed; improved stall resistance and anti-spin characteristics; improved stability at high angles of attack; a lower minimum flight speed; and a shorter take-off and landing distance.

And for the pic, I could care less if the Raptor is edited in.
I really don't like that bird.
