Does that mean that a Randy Johnson fastball is more dangerous than an F35? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih_ovjbwQGk

All his bird buddies will want to know why that birdie has saucer eyes and psychosis now.

Good thing there was no thunderstorm within 25 miles of the air show.

“A flying electronic master piece.”

An expensive bomb truck that has limited capabilities.

Right? The “Lightning II”? The irony. It burns... 😆

Clearly my golf tee shots are more dangerous.
I killed a Canadian Goose instantly on a tee shot in Las Vegas 75 yards away.

That bird was never cleared to the pattern. Always some amateur to mess things up.

The A10 is awesome, if only it could get there and back. Look at what’s happening to a lot of SU-25 frogfoots, the A-10s brother.

The problem is that you have to get there and hopefully back, and in today’s world of SAMs, radar, IADS... Something with a huge radar and thermal profile isn’t survivable against a capable threat.

I asked on FB but no one could answer. How is it possible that a vapor cone appears at supersonic speed that is perpendicular to the craft!!? And on some videos I swear the radius of the cone is 190+ feet!!

I’m sure the sensors could be impacted by lightning. And rain will likely impact the stealth characteristic...

But it’s an unavoidable reality of today. Get stuck in the past, reminiscing about a cavalry frontal assault after Mr. Gatlin, or build trenches after Mr. Tank appeared, and you’ll be disappointed.

Likewise, today it’s all about electronics: sensors, computers, networks... And avoiding sensors spoofing, jamming etc.

My issue isn't any of this. My issue is that the F-35 can't fly in inclement weather!
