Good luck fighting against F-22...

 

I’d be surprised if the F5 would ever work out what had killed it

Does make me wonder about the recent statement from ED that we shouldn’t discuss new aircraft details.

Which statement is that?

I think he's referring to this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3591205&postcount=2

But it only prohibts the sharing of official documents on modern military aircraft, not the discussion about them...

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

 

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

That’s the one, thanks for clarifying

I thought the F/A-18 was the love child of an F-5 and MiG-29 that snuck out one night at a Farnborough Air Show. Dates are about right dirty old F-5 meets fresh young MiG-29 in '77, out pops the '18 in '78...

 

More seriously though, you can laugh all you want at the twin tail mod, but when Northrop went on to develop the F-5 into the YF-17 (which is the F/A-18's parent), one of the first things they did was add another tailplane…

 

F-5 precedes N-300:
