  1. I'll tell ya what I think. The Typhoon would win because the F-15 is 30 years old and all the Fighter Pilots on this forum look like the Comic Book Store guy from the Simpsons. Nerds, man, Neeerrrrds. P.S. I have a Bra on my head.
  2. What fantastic photos. Thank you for sharing those. Does anyone know where you can buy photo prints like that (old 50's, 60's NAVY Aircraft) suitable for framing? I have many old Regulus 1, F-8, and A-7 LTV prints on the walls but would like to expand my collection.
  3. Of course. But would you agree that (because of their professional background) they're in better position to discuss this matter than most of the guys? GG Sure...but I don't think anyone is an absolute authority. Being Soldiers they are highly suseptable to a "Forrest for the Trees" pitfall. So should they be counted on for being a treasure trove of knowledge? Absolutley (and you will notice that once a full technical exlaination was given for the Typhoon Incident that I yeilded to that point of reasoning) Should their opinion be taken as gossple? No. No single persons opinion should be,
  4. Dux, Yeah, on the internet no one knows that I'm really a dog. But it's a known fact (and already proven) HERE IN ARC that some people like Murph and Waco are not dogs. GG Ok, they're Pilots...so...just a another guy. Same as the rest of 'em to me.
  5. I assume you are refering to me. Should I believe everything I see on the internet? I don't know those guys. They could be anyone. This IS the internet you know. Why is it even an issue? Just some dudes on the Internet to me. Could be telling the truth...could be making it up. Either way, it's no skin of my nose.
  6. You obviously don't understand ARC's philosophy. What's the ARC Philosophy and where did this thread become at odds with it?
  7. Oh come now. You guys had fun with this and you know it. Nothing like a little **** and vinager to make a good debate facinating. I don't see any real hard feelings on here at all...just a lot of smack and some POV's. It's fun...keeps you frosty. Anyway, proofs in the pudding...just look at the views for this post. Some may have called it a Train Wreck but people like Train Wrecks and that too is just human nature. I thought it all in good fun.
  8. Yeah but they deilver the ordinance with the bombs still strapped to their wings. Ok, ok, just kidding... :lol:
  9. No...I think they were justified in defending themselves because they were "bounced". Is the concept of "The Bully who got his comeupance" a forigien one? A. "Man" start crap with "other man" for no reason. B. "Other man" kick crap out of "Man" for overstepping his bounds. C. Justice served. "Other Man" go home happy. "Man" go home sore loser. P.S. As far as my "Final Countdown Mentality" goes...you are most certianly entitled to your opinion and that's fine and dandy...but don't insult me personally. I haven't insulted anyone on this board personally and I expect the same treatment from

  11. GUNS! GUNS! GUNS! Check Six...You're dead!
  12. Ok, this is getting so good I couldn't sleep. A couple of points to address here IMO. 1. The Missle deal is out. The whole thing started and ended as a Gun Fight. Fill in the hypotheticals how ever you wish for a "real" scenario. 2. When 2 guys drop out of the blue and "bounce" some poor sap with no provication, then you my friend have (of your own free will mind you) just orderd the 3 enchilada plate with extra jalapenos. Traning rules, Wing loadouts, AG, AA birds....WHATEVER...YOU and YOU alone (and Wingman in this case) have made the decision to go to the mat "AS-IS". Once you committ
  13. For this specific incident? Yes, I think so too. I heard some old MIG-17's shot down some "State Of The Art" F-4's during the late 1960's too. **** happens man.
  14. Scoob, I know the difference. I'm just saying that a kill is a kill. You don't get to choose the perfect circumstances in a "Hot" engagment and since this whole to-do was initiated by the Eagle drivers then I just think that the chips fell...on their head. They tried to crack wise on the poor Typhoon (Who was just sailing on it's merry way. Maybe clean config but I'll bet it's cannon was loaded.) and they got schooled. Lets say for the sake of argument that there was a real conflict at the time that this happened. If 2 Eagle Pilots pulled this (in the way that they did...think up any number o
