vanpang Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Check this out ! A F-18 managed to "gun kill" a F-22 in Red Air Excercise !! Hurray for the Hornet !!! Hornet Kills Raptor
buddhafabio Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 seen it in a couple places have any more info. and this should be in the aircraft vs thread.
Phalanx Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 That is un-f**king-believable. I thought the F-22 had the advantage in the dogfight since it has superior maneuverabilty and since the F-18 couldn't detect it due to it's stealth capability. I think the F-22 pilot was getting careless and sluggish and I think that caused him to fall prey to the Hornet. I think that this may be the reason why Knight26 said that he didn't want to be flying in the F-22 in the next few years. Probably due to it's very poor performance in dogfighting.
Phalanx Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 I guess not because ever since the war in Iraq started, I've never heard any personal accounts of pilots ever being engaged in A2A combat with Iraqi pilots. All I here is fighters doing A2G straffing runs with their guns and doing surgical bombing raids on targets.
wolfx Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 The HUD doesn't tell me (a civvie) much but yeah i guess its a big deal to get the F-22 on your sights.
Knight26 Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Actually Phalanx it is for a variety of other reasons, but good job by the Hornet Driver, must have been a Marine.

Phalanx Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 If you ask me, seeing this is kinda hilarious. I think it's kinda funny to see an advanced stealth fighter get owned by a 30 year old Naval fighter which is like a retarded kid passing an Algebra test and a very smart math person get a low failing grade on it.
LORD KUNGFU Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Actually Phalanx it is for a variety of other reasons, but good job by the Hornet Driver, must have been a Marine. 395834[/snapback] Im sure it was a Marine, since the airforce is full of pansies.

Only he can kill a more superior fighter !!!
HWR MKII Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Certain info in the HUD disp on the pic should be edited or blurred though.
JsARCLIGHT Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Please repost in the Aircraft gotterdammerung thread.
