haha ya, but i think because of the u.s. embargo they cant get any other planes...so they just keep trying to keep these things from falling apart

I've always loved SAAB jets! One question though... is the engine start button between the seats? :p

SAAB's are cool, but I still think this is our best option.

its our only option. LOL


the only other 5th gen in service is the Raptor... which has been made illegal to be sold outside the USA.

its either the F35 or nothing when it comes to 5th gens.. and we're all blabbing about how canada shouldnt/ wouldnt buy 4.5 gens (lots of options)

.

its alleged that Iran has SU-30s J10s JF-17s and they have their homegrown F-5s

it's all about the missile these days anyhow

they probably weren't paying attention when halfway through the movie, the F-14 malfunctions... then malfunctions again on ejection killing one of it's pilots....

or maybe that's the idea... "you kill me?! I KILL ME!"

F35s sucked in Battlefield 2. J-10s is where it's at

^
by that logic... the military should stop investing $$$ in tech... and just get noob tubes + one man army + danger close.

for air support: pavelow since it stays in the air longer, takes 2 rockets to knock down, and with danger close would get more kills.


we could watch the Russians rage quit our air space.

lol u guys pushing a 4-4.5 gen saab?
these new birds are suppose to last another 20-30 years. so while other countries will be flying 5+ gen aircrafts (f35 and PAK-FA) Canada will by flying 4 gen saab?


also not all F35 are VSTOL only a certain type of F35 (dont remember the variant type).

I believe US is the only country with a functional AESA radar, none of the other jets, Grippen, eurofighter or SU family, have a funtional AESA radar.
EU-2000 is best choice after F35....

invest money into one unstoppable unit. imagine a plane that could pull off dynsaty warriors calibre of destruction... that'd be mad.

that'll be the F35B.

F35A- base
F35B- VSTOL
F35C- Navy

F-22 = air superiority


and this is still the best movie / theme song

It'll even be able to take off from your backyard :blush:

Royal Canadian Air Cadets theme song right there... at least for us guys in Richmond

Belka - Any word on the pilot's condition or more details on the incident?

Pilot is fine, he was only in the hospital for a few hours. I can't release details until the official investigation is over, which might take months. If you are interested feel free to PM me.

Got the basics from my dad today as he was there with Top Aces at the time :)
If you guys haven't seen this one yet this is a great documentary with some of the best aerial cinematography since Top Gun. Also available in decent quality torrent on PirateBay.

Top Gun is the shit!!:thumbsup:

Just heard high-speed jet aircraft flying over Cambie/Shell in Richmond... couldn't see anything once I got to the window
