Amazing capabilities and very talented pilots... I have to wonder of what value that maneuverability is since dog-fighting nowdays seems to be a thing of the past... Talking with an F15 pilot on another board, he tells me that the missles fly when they're within just a couple of miles of the adversary and that very little 1:1 dogfighting even exists anymore.
Now the Drones, A10 and Blackhawks seem to have the ground support end of things covered.. Would these planes do duty in those theaters?
Don't know...
Either way - I doubt that I would pick a fight with them!

Those first planes look a bit like largish models like to me, especially the landing.
After that they look more real, and quite different.
Then again I am completely unqualified in this area and have been fooled by plane videos in the past because of said ignorance, so I am quite likely mistaken.

I'm with you Tim, on all aspects......
Do you know the 'backstory' on that scene?
Ford was very ill (flu, I think) the day that scene was shot. It was supposed to be a 'fight' scene...but, 'was filmed as seen instead because of Ford's condition.

If you check out 0:46, his arse is only 6 feet of the ground..
I go with the model theory.

I'm certain they are RC models. The giveaway for me was the landing gear down and back up in about 1 second, and the darty behavior. Current generation model gas turbines give not only the look, but the sound as well.
