“I remember A-10s whipping F-16’s in 2v2.”
Indeed true. I flew some F-15s against them back at Edwards in the previous century. You won’t get behind something that can turn on a time...and then points a wall of solid lead, er, depleted uranium at you.
Of course, a good air to air missile will take care of that, but the A-10 is a close air support weapon...and the best there ever was.
Oh those 2v2 games at Edwards were merely messing around....when we had some extra minutes after some FOT (follow on training) in our respective aircraft. It was always interesting putting very dissimilar aircraft together.
Oh, those days..........
Exactly. I worked with them all the time (WCT), got a few bubble checks from the jocks. They could fly low, slow and like you said - turn on a dime. Of course, their favorite was to hit the brakes, wait for the overfly and it was “guns, guns”.
