The (alleged) pic of the Raptor brings up an amusing discussion I had a few years ago with a rather less educated fellow cadet whose dream was to fly the F-22...and fight in a dogfight. When I heard him utter such heresy, I immediately launched into a tirade of supercruise, BVR Slammer shots, and how with off boresight heaters and HMS, everyone dies in a WVR furball. You could see his dream breaking apart as I ranted. Of course, you could easily make the case why all of what I said is wrong (ref. the debrief video you put up last week or the RAND study) but it was worth it just to see the look on his face. As for the JSF...I already have a headache from this damn paper, I don't need another one. How many missiles does it carry again? Does that include the gun it may or may not have on board? Ugh...
