MIG-29 OVT - My favourite jet fighter. What's yours?

[Zip]

No you only have air defense.

The closest thing you had was somthing built by the UK in the 1950s for an Austrialian specification.

Comically, in the 40s you had a prop thing called the Boomerang.

Owell, we still build submarines

For some reason, Jets>Subs

 

[Zip]

Its built by Saab you eejit.

Although it is cool.

I know its built by saab, i just posted it because i liked it

Do they sink well what with all the cork hats and other stereotyped paraphenalia in there?

 

[Guybrush]

i have to say F22, because I'm involved with it.

Otherwise, F86 Sabre... like the Mig 15, only cooler

...or another vote for the ME262

 

[Alwayz Dead]

A missile with wings. Capable of a fantastic rate of climb, 50,000ft/minute, and had an operating celing of over 80,000ft.

Not sure why we're discussing SR-71's and B-52's when the topic is jet fighters.

I'm with fusion - the last great british fighter.

Aparently not

A few years ago they kept having problems with something with them(I think its the stealth systems on it) and couldnt work out what was going wrong.

Have you heard of the collins class submarine?

Does anyone know if there are any Australian jet fighters or bombers?

I believe the Ozzies have F-111 Aardvark's and F18 Hornets.

We didnt make them though


The next lot of planes we get are F-22 Raptors

Is that not a Saab Viggen ?

It's a Saab Draken

I'm not sure that's true... Last I heard, the Australian authorities were 'considering' their position regarding the procurement of the JSF. I'm not sure that the US will sell the F-22 to anyone in the immediate future...

Oh, I saw the MIG-29 OVT at Fairford the other week. Truely mind blowing, it was!

AFAIK we had something like 12-20 on order

 

[Lopéz]

How much does the F22 sell for again?

Lots of millions

Taking a wild get any where between 14-20 million each.

 

[gord]

I came in here with my mind set on a GR4 Harrier.. but now.. All of the F series fighters from 14 upwards just look awesome, along with the Vulcan and Tornado..

If theres one thing we can learn from this thread albeit probably not learning it but reinforcing it is that..

Jet Fighters are COOL

You need to add a zero to your estimate.

Still a lot of money either way

That's the only conclusion I've been able to come to as well.

Yep. The louder the better tbh.

Farnborough was a toss up between the Eurofighter and the Tornado for ear splitting noise just before take-off.

Have to say though, nine Red Arrow's Hawk's on full throttle waiting for clearance was pretty loud too.

The Vulcan however was in a class of its own back in the day.

 

[Kaed]

We don't have any, cos our Government did the same thing.
