F15 on the other hand is still active and currently in service
with 6 air forces.....
USA, Japan, South Korea, Isreal, Saudi Arabia and Singapore...
apparently all close allies of the U.S.
The F-15 has a history of abt 100 dogfights and no losses.
For me...the ultimate fighter would be the stealth F-22 Raptor.
Ok..since i won't see u in may or june....i will see u on 818....apparently
a Hari Raya long weekend.....so cp will be packed.

Brother,
Haha! We always meet in CP in a surprised manner, and I enjoyed them.
Your knowledge on aircraft is admirable. I am sure I can learn a lot from you. F/A 18, the Hornet is a handsome and sexy aircraft, which has a V-tail like the Piston-Prop leisure aircraft Bonanza. Actually the V-Tail is the results of an early design problems, or it should have been like the F-15 vertical double tails. I shall share with you when we meet later.
Due to budget cut, there isn't many new aircraft being desinged and built. So far, the performance of F-22 Raptor is good, his performance waits to be put to a test.
I am familiar more with commercial aircraft as I travel in them many months in a year. I am ready to learn from you more after we meet next time.
Have fun in CP.
