“A cheaper, lighter, smaller plane flown by a really top notch pilot can beat a bigger, more complex plane almost every time. Look at the Red Flag/Top Gun instructors in F-5s who beat the bigger costlier birds time and time again.”
You don’t have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Where do some of you people come up with this nonsense?
Do you as a non-ignorant freeper still want to fly ONE F-35 against three or four of the best the enemy can come up with, or would you rather have three or four of the latest F-15 or F-18s with well trained American pilots?
