Too pure for this sinful Earth

got to play with one of the training nuke boxes for one of these.
shit was fucking neat.

They don't actually jump they just kind of hover there.

USAF one wasn't that bad, USN one was pure condensed shit.

>>34327616
too many legislators watched True Lies.

In HS, I used to draw pictures of one hovering out in front of the school office lighting it up.

This was in 1982.

The TFX made the fatal flaw of trying to combine roles that diverged too much in their requirements during a time when technology was only barely able to make multiroles work.
>USAF wants tandem seat
>Navy wants side by side
>USAF wants high-speed low-altitude
>Navy wants low-speed high-altitude loiter with high-speed dash
>USAF wants advanced interdictor
>Navy wants fleet defense interceptor

Fortunately General Dynamics realized how retarded it was and mostly added the USN version as an afterthought. At least the F-111 ended up being a good plane. Imagine what a clustefuck itd have been if Boeing had won.

>>34328501
so it was an f35 before it was cool

Four Pylon Mounts

Basically, yeah.

There was almost the same shit fight here in Australia over the F-111 as all the shit got worked out, but as the poster a couple above mentioned at least it turned out good. Once the kinks got worked out the RAAF fucking adored their 'Pigs' and so did everyone else.

It was a sad day when they were buried but they literally flew the wings off of them.

RIP

A bomber will never make a good interceptor and even less a strategic fighter or strike plane, they should have learned that with the Thud.

>>34327569
I always liked the Side by Side cockpit of the F111 and A6.

Flight of the Intruder was a bad ass movie.

It had more to do with McNamara (piss be upon him) wanting to have one plane for everything well before the technology was there for it.

>>34330832
>>34330838
Damn ! I take it those are MK82 500lb bombs?

>Also

I fantasize of WW3 so we can bring the F111s , F14s and A7s out of mothball.

>>34331123
Case in point, although no British plane was ever good.

This part in the movies never made sense to me.

If it's a fucking older code, then no, it doesn't check out. There's no point in changing the codes at all if you're going to accept the older ones.

>>34331187
They're all flying around upstate; frolicking with the B-25s, the F-86s, and even the cute little A-4s.

>>34330832

I strongly doubt that it could go super-sonic with that load on the wings, so it kind of defeats the whole point of a high-speed bomber.

The Harrier is a ground-attacker, not a fighter jet.

>>34331308
Unless it's a fighter jet.

>>34331308
Quick, get in the time-machine, we must inform the Royal Navy

>>34331377

It's primarily designed as a ground-attack aircraft. That doesn't mean it can't have any anti-air capability. Even the A-10 can fire those same sort of short-range heat-seeking missiles.

>>34331443
makes me wonder, would it be at all possible for an A10 to get an air-to-air gun kill?

>>34331467

Against helicopters, definitely. This has occurred in real-life. One of the A-10's original duties was to keep soviet helicopters away from American ground troops. I've also heard of A-10's getting gun kills against fighter jets dogfight in exercises, but that's more of theoretical thing.

But that one IS a fighter. Son of these beasties and so beloved by Argentinian pilots.

>>34331467
I remember playing one of those Jane's flight sims back when Pentium IIIs were hot shit, and realized A-10s (in that game, anyway) could accept something like 12 AIM-9Ms. A quick flight of that vs something like 12 MiG-15s became my go-to ROFLfest.

That's an AWFUL lot of Fuck-You vs low speed targets.

>>34327596
Actually, they are 2 per deck and carry 4 bombs now. They are fucking great.

>>34330148
Nope, even today it'd be tough to meet those requirements.

The JSF worked because, apart from the takeoff/landing requirements, all three services had roughly the same requirements:
>USAF wants a "light" fighter with an emphasis on attack/bombing to replace F-16
>USN wants a multirole to replace legacy Hornets
>USMC wants a strike aircraft to replace Harriers

The F-111 would be more
>I want a fighter that combines the jobs of the F-15E and F-14 along with this list of even more retarded requirements
