I'm not familiar w/ that aircraft. I was referring to the Fighting Falcon.

Well they've spent most of the past 10 years in a combat zone...so it's not surprising an Eagle guy doesn't recognize one.

Well, mystery solved. I'll bet his landing was perfect when he RTB'd though.

ALL excellent and true - but let's get back to making fun of the FRENCH!
:D

Good thing the MAS-49 is post World War II.

Be a shame if they all got dinged up from being dropped ;)

Nah, just a firearm collector and think the MAS-49 has a certain cool factor, even for being French :eek:

Like a SVT-40, M1/M14, etc.

The issue with the French isn't the hardware. It's the track record of the operators. :)

The cuffs put on us, especially with the French, make it less like an engagement and more like a diplomatic mission. If in fact there were tanks on the jet, that further limits us to 5 G's. Concur with the big error reversing but other than that the AA looked way to high for the Frog to do much with. Nobody, including a full-up Raptor, can prevent a HOBS heater at the initial merge, but we should be able to negate it from then on. Too bad we can't show all of our footage of our youngest LT's gunning their most experienced within 25" of the initial merge. But then again, we're 'Merican Fighter Pilots, we don't brag when we kick ass, it's just assumed we did.

That's NEVER been in doubt.

Unless its a hot French chick, in a French maid outfit, making French toast.

In which case, a waiver can be granted
