Zamboni vs. the F-22

[SIG600]

LearLove,

Good humor never dies, it gets updated and recycled.



Two big differences:

• The F-15 is a good airplane (even if it can't land on a CVN) and a sh*tload got built
• The F-22 is too specialized and too expensive and the AF lost the funding

Got news for you poser, the Strike Eagle is a better airplane than the Superhornet will ever be (MAYBE unless you're talking slick 1v1 BFM). You must be the biggest manfan I've ever seen.

SIGster,

Great to hear from you. It's been a while since you told us the story about you, as a young Zoomie, doing 2 fat girls in Colorado Springs.

It's embarassing to see a former AF fighter guy overcome by the vapors and clutching his pearls when a Navy guy points out that the F-15 can't land on a CVN.

Look at what's happening off the coast of China right now. The projection of power by the USS Eisenhower and our F-18s is awesome. That should get the Nork's attention. We have even invited 4 F-22s to participate. You should feel good about that.

as Robin Olds said, the F-22 will be the end of the USAF, too many eggs in one basket.

Couldn't you build about 400 to 500 F-15's for the cost of 100 F-22's?

Wrong again, F/A-18 A-F. If you're really a team member, you have SIPR access, and can access the info on a Straights of Taiwan situation. 'Nuff said.

Our CSG, in the joint exercise with the ROKs, is sending a great message to the Norks and ChiComs. We even let the AF get involved and strut their stuff, with 4 F-22s doing a flyover.

That's why the 'going our of business' mandated strategy for the AF is accelerating. They're suffering the lion's share of the DOD budget cuts because they have no way to effectively project power as the US Navy does so well. A CVN doesn’t need no stinkin' basing rights.

Say what you will, but an 1,100 foot boat is a huge target. I guess the USN is pretty confident that it can knock down any attacking force out of the sky.

Sometimes I think that you and that AF dude MAGNUM!! are the same poster. I've never met a Navy F-18 guy who gets all wet in the panties over the AF, its pilots and their airplanes like you.

 

[pilotyip]

Yes, so what

An attack on 5500 US citizens, is an attack on the mainland of the US. All the bad guys who can do that, know that.

Ahh you caught me. You're right again, like always.

 

[DaveGriffin]

If the Taliban ever steal a Mig-29, the F-22 might finally get a chance to serve a useful purpose.

Or the Chinese decide to retake Taiwan. Same thing.

This is not a big deal, this capability has eixsted for decades in other forms, US Carriers are large targets that can be disabled. That is not a secret from anyone. But they are also floating islands of US Territory, with 5500 citizens on board, an attack on a US Aircraft Carrier is an attack upon the United States. Until Tallybands have this capability, there is not much to worry about. No one attacks someone who owes thme $100T or whatever the number is we owe China.

Your point being...we should not worry about China's capacity to attack our carriers at will with a long range weapon? We should only worry about the Taliban? Maybe we should sell all the guns and equip our soldiers with sticks and rocks.

Ever heard of a little time in history called the Second World War? Got caught with our pants down and got our asses handed too use until we stepped it up.

By the way...all that money we owe China will not keep them from EXPORTING MORE WEAPONS!
