But it's damn pretty

Now get Tom Cruise out of my face he's such a gay fag.
The point is Top Gun is mindblowingly awesome, thinking otherwise is a sign that it is indeed you, not Tom Cruise that is a "gay fag".

What is a "gay fag" anyway can homosexuals be gay? Does that mean they're straight?

i.e. gliding 10m forward by losing 1m of altitude
So is that a good ratio or not? Seems like a quick fall.


If you're at 11'000m you can go 1100m that's not much at all.

you mixed up the numbers -> 11km -> 110km glide

anyway I suppose if the ratio would be that terrible the engineers wouldn't have designed it that way, no?

iirc the glide ratio of a shuttle ranges from ~1 to ~4, now that's pretty much like a monstrous brick with wings

Have you SEEN the shape of a shuttle?
Fighter jets are a lot shitter than passenger jets as well, but they have a lot more thrust, so they act more like rockets with stabilizers than actual planes.

Considering that the shuttle goes down with hypersonic/supersonic speed and the landingspeed is really high, there's no real need for a good glide ratio

I've heard the same WRT the deadstick glideslope of the T-38 and the F-16.

I must say the "proof that with big enough engines even a brick can fly" was first dubbed upon the mighty F-4. Ugly as a fucking bowling shoe, tbh.
True!
It's hard to beat the glide ratio of the space shuttle though, now that is a brick with wings!

I'm thinking about going for one of these:

Pick up seriously lost people in peacetime and pilots sans aircraft in wartime--sounds like a good mission.

Edit: first pic didn't load.
There are stories of guys who finished first in UPT and picked helos. They got blackballed by the rated community, since historically, helos go to the bottom of the class. Not really sure why, since the skill required to fly a helo is higher than required for fixed wing.

Two F-15s (foreground) scramble to intercept two Mig-29s in 1989. IIRC, the Mig-29s were the first ever to fly in American airspace, on their way to a Canadian airshow. The interception was just a practise.

Also, I can't see much in this thread that shows you know much about this. All the info you've gotten from is either from Wikipedia or can be retrieved from the lovely Jane's Fighter Jets books. I also highly doubt you have the latter (I have) because it costs $800.

Also the fact that "Nothing he can't do" actually makes sense, "ain't never" doesn't.
