>There is an actual shortage of not only pilots, but fighter pilots.
What the fuck, isn't that like the most in demand job in the military?
F-15E is love
One of the angles where it actually looks good.
not exactly a plane, but an aircraft too!
something about the F4 makes it so goddamn sexy

The people with the modern educational requirements are normally in better paying jobs, this is what happens when your military budget is cut continually.

Are you fucking kidding me, he JUST died?
As if being the (one of the) most bad ass test pilots in history wasn't enough, dude cruises into the 21st century
I hope this man's DNA has been preserved, we need him cloned
I guess I will post my goals since I can really only talk to one friend of mine about this stuff because when I mention it to anyone else they think im stupid for wanting it. To fly the F-15E if it dosent go out of service within 3 years, or F-35 and if they still use the U2 I would love to fly one of those along with the B-1 or B-2. So basically anything badass, but if not flying some C-130 wouldnt be bad either, but if I cannot then im going for the CRO pipeline. Anyways, just wanted to talk about my military dreams.

You would think that man, thats what the army does with warrant officers so they can fly helos. But they dont want some dipshit in control of a 22mil dollar F-22 raptor lol. But no you dont have to be super smart to fly. Only reason im getting an EE degree.

God, I love America.
The only country where you can buy shit like this pretty (Relatively) easily.
And you can buy flying mig 29s, mig 23s, mig 21s, mig 15s, L 39s, L 29s, etc. All in America.
I don't see russian civilians buying old F-16s.

Are you aware of Europe's aviation regulatory agency? And how they make ridiculous regulations to kill vintage aircraft and general aviation?
For me, a good life standard includes aviation.

All pilots are officers these days, and most people don't want to spend the greater part of their youth fucking around in the military. Anyone intelligent enough to be a fighter pilot are mostly intelligent enough to not join the military, especially as an officer.

Drakens are sexy in flight, but damn do they look rather goofy from up close when landed.
>>30941579

Because it's fucking huge and fast as fuck. Basically a muscle car filled with bombs
>>30940448
That looks REALLY low to be doing that sort of thing.

This. You'll see a huge spike if we get an enemy with fighter jets.

The requirement are high. You need a four year degree, pass the physical fitness and physical size standards, have a clean background check, etc. The portion of the population that meets all the requirements is minuscule.
Then you have to pass the training. Some attrition there. The candidates have to be very intelligent and motivated.
Then the fighter pilot gets to their operational unit and realizes that they will get sacked if they have a magazine with a picture of a woman in a bikini laying around. They get lectured all the time on sexual assault and other meaningless bullshit. They don't fly as much as they should or as much as pilots did even a decade ago. They realize they could make more money on the outside and not have to deploy. They leave.

Just read a article in a swedish history magazine.
It had (and probably still has) one of the longest jet engines, especially with the afterburner
The F-35 is a lemon

Pretty sad that this is a fifth of the Iranian F-14 fleet. They only have about 20 or so operational.

Which is, what, 20 more than the rest of the world combined?

it's a strange thing to like about a plane, but it has pretty neat landing gear desu
>>30954576
It's not anything like an F-15, you Yutz.
>>30954907
Why is it so beefy? Was this a carrier capable plane? Looks almost thicker than the Hornets gear..
>>30954954
the French considered making a naval version but never went through with it. To my knowledge it had more to do with being able to takeoff/land on rugged terrain in case the cold war went hot and airfields were destroyed

The Finnish Air Force adopted the hornet specifically because russia is expected to destroy every single actual runway in the country right at the start of the conflict.
perfect from every angle
too bad its modern version got that canard crap
>>30955829
Only the Su-33 has canards. The Su-35 doesn't.
>>30956541
Su-30SM also has canards.
