First of all, I'd like to acknowledge your Dos Gringos reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w7BuwZ-u0s

Second of all, we should be talking about this amazing piece of reporting. https://theaviationist.com/2019/04/01/revealed-israels-top-secret-f-35f-jsmf/

Hey does anyone have the story about some older aircraft dog-fighting a newer one in training and using a Nuclear AA rocket against it? I think it was an F-14 and some older jet, story was told by the pilot or co-pilot.


It was an F-106 vs F-16s.

Here you go! https://www.reddit.com/r/LessCredibleDefence/comments/51hl3m/f106_vs_f16/

The last one was retired in 2017. :( If I'd known I'd have gone to the Reno Air Races, I think that was the final stop on its farewell tour. It was one of the two full-camo QF-4s from Tyndall.

Here she is in November 2016 at the Nellis AFB air show, last Phantom flying in USAF service:

I got a new camera lens. It's the Nellis air show weekend. These two things are not unrelated. (Also this thread needs more airpower.)

Aggressors are cool. They even let the public vote on that new paint scheme and they didn't screw it up!

Photo dump time! Deal with it! All clicky-able. Some of my winners so far from Nellis AFB Airshow this year, in no particular order.

Does anyone's position change with the fact that this wasn't in response to the embassy thing (it was being considered before hand) and was instead a response to some actionable intelligence that showed Americans were being actively targeted?

And yes, the rest of that article is extremely weird.
