Fighter Jets

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

I doubt those were billion dollar planes in that video, but the quality was still none-the-less. I always wanted to the join the Air Force and become a pilot if my passion for cars wasn't so strong. That'd defitnitely be around the top of the list for coolest jobs of all time.

yea, right up to the point were an iraqi rebel shoots you down and your plane flies to the ground burning in flames...


(please, no "ooh but the sidewinders would get the rocket first!" comments.)

How many fighter jets have been shot down by the Iraqis since the war started?

I seriously doubt there's an Iraqi with an arm strong enough to toss a rock up that high....


Anywho, with today's technology with these jets nowadays, it'd almost have to be the pilot's fault for crashing.

From what I know of, none..

Also those jets look kind of old like 70s old, also not many jets cost a billion dollars, unless you are thinking about buying a B2.. even if you had the money, goodluck..



By the way.. anybody else think that whoever put the music to that video has horrible taste? Totally doesnt go with the vid..

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

Yea, had a European flare to it though didn't it?

Sooooooooo, if you guys could buy any 2 jets, what would they be?

I wan't a F22 Raptor and its a tie between a F14 Tomcat/ F15 Eagle/ and maybe like a Su-37 Terminator. Yum.

i read they shot down a stealth, the first to be taken out.

Yeah they shot down an F-117 when they used old school Russian radar trackers, because they are older and use longer wavelengths it made the F-117 more visible also when stealth jets get wet or they open their bomb bays makes em completely visible on radar.. and its the only stealth fighter to be shot down.

BTW F-117 looks like this..





Also I would like 2 jets.. F-22A, because its my dream to fly that thing.. and i'd like to go ahead and get the Sukhoi Berkut.. SU-47.. this thing can out turn all current jets.. only thing is it isnt stealth like all very modern jets are becoming..

F-22A



SU-47

[HighOctaneNOSUser]

For me, it'd easily be an F-15C Eagle, and a Sukhoi SU-37.

And yes, the music sucked.

Like those older jets huh?

[Toksin]

To clarify: An F117 was shot down in Kosovo, not Iraq

F-15=old
Su-37 came out around 96
My choice F-35


and mos def Su-37


I would also gladly accept a B-1..... better than a b2 or f-117

Whatever Tom Cruise flew in Top Gun.
