it was proved long ago that the F-5, with the right pilot, can out manuever an F-15 and shoot it down.

It is all about the Pilot and his skilllevel

The F-22 has NOT been around long enough to know it’s tough spots, but the F-5 is ancient, aggressive, and manuverable

Sorry, it is not. I’ve flown F4s against F-15s...a much more equal fight. Skill and tactics are obviously important, but you don’t ever want to be in a real dogfight (which are themselves very rare in modern air combat) against a better jet.

Anyone who draws any conclusions from this snippet of gun camera film is an idiot.
