Those aren't very good. And would probably need some cover from Hunters or Vampires? But that's no problem with MiG-15s, they always like bait.

the electric lightning was a true "all british" aircraft and was described by it pilots as "being strapped to a rocket" or something along those lines. A magnificent piece of machinery, and even you as a soviet lover have to admire it.

Then theirs the hawker hunter (hawker make all the best planes dont you think?)... my personnal fav as the greatest jet ever! it just looks great and flies even better. a truley remarkable piece of kit.

i actually agree,

Ive always thought the 'Hunter' looked like a mini Vulcan from the front

FOZ_1983 · #6 10-29-2009, 01:58 AM

the hunter must be nuetral as a jet that "just looks great"

forget performance etc, just going on looks for now! i think its pretty damn sexy lol

i also like the look of the F16 fighting falcon and F14, the SU33 looks pretty beefy to, especially in that light blue camo it has!!

Spitfire23 · #7 10-29-2009, 02:05 AM

yea the F-16 is a pretty plane, but the F-14 and SU33 are more "Get The F*** Out Of My Way!" types of planes. i.e. 'Just dont mess'

Don't know all that much about planes, so question: Why does the plane above have those two little wings infront of the main wings? Is it for stability?

Yes. The "little wings in front" are called Canards and rather have the elevator's behind the wings. They just put them in front because it adds stability, and also makes the plane a hell of a lot more maneuverable (as you can see the crazy stunts in the video). There are other EU fighters, like the Eurofighter and even a Swedish multi-roll fighter which they used canards.

@FOZ: Yes, I do like the Hawker Hunter a lot. It's probably my favorite British 50s fighter, and early British jet fighter as well. Would have been an interesting match up against a MiG-15bis?

Some crazy stunts right there!

Thats one hell of a pilot

oh, and what a plane!

Still choose the EF over it tho
