Figther Pilot Owns Iran

Couple things

A. It'd be great if it did happen.
B. F22's are not combat operational due to bugs in the systems.
C. SAM's(Surface to Air Missiles) would quickly fuck him up.

Where in the first post does it say "F22"?

-Ant.

[FlipKing]

First doesnt, but it is mentioned in thread.

[xxbckiexx]

yes it was mentioned in this thread. F22's are currently being used in combat BTW. Just not in the masses. In fact in 2008 the pentagon requested more money from congress to build more F22's that were lost in combat.. so if they aren't operational, how were they lost in combat o_O?

[AFSil80]

Lost in combat and lost in testing during times of war/combat are two completely different things. Yes, an F-22 crashed last year, but it was not on combat operations. Same goes for the B-2 that crashed on Guam last year.

To my knowledge, we haven't lost an aircraft to an enemy since the F-117 downed in Serbia in the 90's.

We never lost an F-15 in Desert Storm.

F-22's are operational, but the program is wrapped up so tight that it wouldn't be feasible to assume that they have seen combat.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you weren't in the military at any point, please refrain from commenting because BS stats and 'facts' bother us more than anything else.

^the thread was just desinged for the lulz and how bad ass AMerica is.

1. It was pilot error, sad thing too. Pilot was one of our best test Pilots. David Cooley.

2. We lost an F-15E in the last war was a buddy of mine's squadron from Shady J, Basically they were inverted close to the ground, had a SAM launch, Wing man told him to pull up, thats what he did, right into the ground.

3. We have not officially used any F-22's in Combat... Officially.

4. AMEN!!!

B. F22's are not combat operational due to bugs in the systems.

As AFSil Said Above they Raptor's are fully operational. Langley, Elmendorf and HO all have operational Raptor's. Tyndall, Nellis and Edwards also have Raptor's but they are mostly for test and Training.

Too bad their F14s would never even take off, in the real world some terrorist in a sleeper cell here in the US would do some massive damage just because some moron pilot thinks he is hot shit. Thankfully you need more than a high school diploma to become a fighter pilot.

This... and reps.

Iran isn't going to waste its planes on some jarhead with an attitude problem. If they do send any of their planes against us, it will be some kind of sneak attack. They certainly know they will lose air-superiority, but they can still score big by attacking some kind of soft target.

Look at Iraq and Afghanistan... the cells we are fighting there don't have any planes at all and they are still holding their own against us.

Such a damn shame.

Off topic: I was in Alaska at Red Flag when the F-15 and F-16 collided during war games. Luckily the F-15 pilot ejected to safety, the F-16 made it back and it was BEAT UP. It was missing half of the vertical stab, half of the left horizontal stab, and about 3 feet off of the left wing. The F-16 was one of the Aggressor units, too.

EDIT: That Aggressor F-16 is the first picture below. That was taken on the way to Alaska, haha. The F-15 pics I took on the way home.

Any idea which base the F-15 that crashed came from? I was stationed at Elmo in the 19th for 4 years.

Here I am lauching (in my Boxer Shorts) my sister Squadron's (12fs) F-15C Down at Nellis supporting the weapons school.



And this is one of our F-15C that had a ground mishap in Turkey when one of our pilots (New Guy) lost his utility Hyd system and let it run off of the runway instead of pulling the emer Brake Handle cause he was a dipshit.

lol, I can go to sleep now..
