What's your favorite plane and why is it the F-15E Strike Eagle?
>Like all F-15s, never lost a dogfight >Badass laser targeted missiles >Two seater so you won't die if you pass out from the G forces >Two engines so you won't die if a bullet flies into it >Better than its supposed replacement, the F-35E which has been "plagued with design flaws" >Improves on the original F-15 in almost every way but especially in Air-to-Ground combat >US designed and built, Russki planes like MiG-29s are shit in comparison >Older than your dad but still cooler than him
I don't need a spoiler tag to tell you that you can't name a fighter jet better than this one
>cute smile with air intake and sleek >latest V variant gets AN/APG-83 SABR >very agile >great at wild weasel >affordable and popular
Too bad the F-35 will replace us all once it irons out its kinks, I would love to see a Gen 4.5 F-16 though ;-;
Dominic Gonzalez
The F-35 could be cool, but it only has one engine and one seat, so you're liable to get shot down and you don't have a wingman bro to hand out with.
The worst part about the engines on an F-35 is that if you drop a coin or a tool into it, you'll probably have to take the whole damn thing apart to get it out.
Parker Howard
There is only one best plane. It was once the F-15.
Was.

Hunter Taylor
Two engines can be a liability. Check out engine failure stats; if one engine fails than the other engine is most likely going to fail as a result as well.
When are you guys going to update your shitty Air Force?
You have like 70 geriatric, worn out Hornets, and a Burt Lancaster Bomber and some used up P-3 Orions. I thought Le Weed Cuck was all about spending money?

Looks like a prolapsed anus.

My favorite is probably the Dassault Rafale but I also love the F-15's, F-16's, F-18's and the Su-27/35.
Camden Morgan
They will surely make a 2 seater version in the future like with the f-18
And the logic is that you could have another engine ready to go to be swapped out and easily avaliable because all branches use them and need these spare engines.
Not sure how similar engines are in the B vs A and C though
Christian Morris
F-16 is shit compared to the F-15 in everything but turning circle
John King
If you guys would stop fucking jacking up the price because of pork-barrel politics we'd probably already have ordered the F-35.
Carson Roberts

Isaiah Myers
The F-35 is not replacing the F-15 E. There is no F-35 E variant. You have no idea what you are talking about. You are a fucking idiot and should not be posting tonight.

Robert Lewis
Not shit tier. One engine to maintain, higher sortie rate.
Needing two engines in 2016 makes you pleb tier.
Ryan Hughes
>mfw i will never fly one of of these
Wyatt Torres
Which is incredibly important in dogfighting
Adam Hernandez
>F-15
I guess it's an OK plane, but we had to use bribery and pressure to get Cucknada to not produce their superior fighter.
Eli Phillips
Well, you guys do need a better Navy.
I got to take a tour of one of the Frigates a few years ago (Fredrickton). Nice ship. I like how the VLS silos are actually on the outside, above deck on the ship.
But you need vessels that can handle arctic patrol better, and also underway replenishment for humanitarian missions (So you can import more Dindu Terrorists, chinks, and Poos)
Luke Hernandez
F-16 wins when you have more than one.
Charles Moore
If you drop a coin or tool into any aircraft engine the entire thing is useless. It's called FOD and requires an engine change.
Camden James
If you guys would stop cutting your order, we wouldn't have to.
David Hill
Absolutely. One engine cutting out is end of mission anyways. Immediately declare emergency and fly back.
Hunter Davis
All things considered, the Nighthawk is probably the plane that was the best at what it was supposed to do, in the context of the era when it was made and all that.
Cooper Walker
What is OP and why is he a faggot?
answer: he posts non-political on Sup Forums
you gonna feel my redacted hit your implied unless you btfo and delete this post and take it somewhere else like a faggoty aircraft fanboi board
Angel Morris
If you lose one engine in an F-15 and you are flying a combat sortie you aren't getting back home. Fighter engines don't work like passenger jet engines.
Hudson Powell
Once you start putting too much high tech stuff in the F-16 you lose part of what made it cool in there first place. The F-16 was just supposed to be a good, cheap, solid fighter.
Jayden Martinez

Brody Barnes
Looks like it is taking off from an LPH which increases our seagoing launch platforms tremendously.
Luke Morales
Honestly, Canada shouldn't have F-35's.
You should have Super Hornets.
The F-35 program does benefit your tech and defense industry. But it's your own fault for having a lot of eggs in that basket.
At the end of the day, I'm expecting RCAF to get Super Hornets, or Saab Gripens if PETjr decides to have a little anti-american spat to save face.
Ryan Sanchez
The f22 is the best dogrifghter ever made fuck u talking about
Mason Morris
>The F-16 was just supposed to be a good, cheap, solid fighter. Just like the MiG-29's that got rekt by higher tech F-16's and F-15's in every engagement.
Connor James
Nice timing
Gavin Long
We haven't cut our order yet. It was 65 planes in 2009 and it's still 65 planes now. It's other countries that have slashed their orders - blame the Dutch and Brits.
Jordan Adams

Uh. No they won't. The entire concept is to automate and network the entire battle. The role of the second cockpit is relegated to automation and commands over the battlespace network.

Jace Rogers
>Le Meme plane
The Arrow was a very narrow focus interceptor. It was obsolete by the time it had it's test flights. Literally only autistic Canadians (like Dan Ackroyd) argue it's merits.
Brayden Barnes
If they had gone that way in the beginning then I would absolutely agree that it is the right choice. However, joining the F-35 program and investing in trade-offs that heavily influence the Canadian economy have come into play. Cuck man can't afford to call it a loss at this point on top of losing thousands of jobs that were created in Canada in support of the F-35 program.

Brandon Hill
Not like you have more than one pilot that could possibly fly one. Between your weed and degeneracy in general what did you expect?
Leo Gutierrez
>The plane that literally INVENTED supermaneuverability
Owen Smith
That's an F22 Raptor... Not an F15
Nolan Ward
Technically haven't cut your planned order, however, you have delayed placing it.
American planes are way too overrated. The F22 and f35 is garbage compared to the objectively superior Russian pak-fa and the Chinese j31. And these >Muh f15 is pathetic too. It is a fact that the French Mirage 2000 is better and the most advanced 4th gen jet. Murricun patriotism is cancer.
limited range limited threats CA is comparatively poor bleeding edge tech for an air force that has 3 major fighter bases, and relies mainly on forward deploying detachments of homeland based interceptor assets at civilian airports smaller millitary airfields.
Xavier Russell
Alright WilyB put down the bong.
Thomas Nelson
Advanced Super Hornet is kinda sexy.
Honestly what do we use our planes for? 90% of it is escorting Russian bombers out of NATO airspace, or dropping 500lb bombs on people living in mud huts. So we need something that's a decent interceptor and a nice cheap bomb truck. Sad to say there really isn't a perfect plane for Canada. It's a shame our aerospace industry is largely too de-militarized (that all went south) to build our own stuff.
Yeah that's all political bullshit. We went through the same fucking thing 20 years ago replacing our naval choppers - the things had to start literally falling out of the fucking sky before the pencil pushers in Ottawa got off their asses.

>coolest looking Looks like the derp plane.
I think it's pretty hard to go past a Hornet or SU-33 in the good looks department
Wyatt Lee
He would just give those jobs away to Rapefugees anyways.
Canada can still build the parts for our F-35's. But they won't. Because of protectionist trade deals (Funny how the leafs hate trump over that)
Aiden Gonzalez

Carter Gomez
serious question here lads
What kind of warplane (a fighter) would you recomend to a small nation like mine in relation to price?
Like, is it even worth having 5 or 10 F22? would that help at all in a modern conflict?
I guess with 5 F22 we could at least send them in a suicide mission gainst, for example, argentina or brazil. It would be succesful, the objetives would be destroyed, but after that what?
My point is that nowadays if you do not have a proper industry to mainten them or repair them or even better produce the parts you need, it is usless in a real conflict.
Jonathan Jenkins
Looks like it's prolapsed rectal hole is going to drop a turd on the deck, lewd for sure. Favorite plane is the airborne missile. Needs no pilot, can go like mach 2 and beyond and can turn pulling 10G, cheapest airplane going.
Truth be told, they only make missile magnets because of the contractor lobbies and unions, everyone knows they are redundant and there ain't no such thing as stealth. Most of the time pilots are scared to fly in a real war zone captains park their floating missile magnet carriers like 500 miles from the action. I like piloted war planes but they are redundant in the year of our Lord, 2020-4.
Andrew Scott
Posting god killer plane
Charles Morgan
super TUCANO!
Evan Martinez
That's why you had to beg (threaten and bribe) Cucknada not to make it huh?
All of our planes and military are silly and moot since Korea, because all we do is bully third world countries who can't fight back. Maybe until Vietnam, after that our military is just Israel's north American divisions.
Aiden Ortiz
F-35A and Super Hornet have practically the same range.
And what does limited threats even mean?
Owen Ross
the upside-down rear elevator/ailerons are so dumb and really never worked
Chase James
sexy aircraft comin through
Charles Sullivan
the modern equipment is nice and all, but ww2 era fighters and bombers my favorite. we'll never see aerial combat like that again where skill and wit were on full display. do or die, no room for even one mistake. unfortunately aerial combat these days will be dominated by computers and launching missiles from miles away

> It means that USAF has already gone in and removed any real threats before RCAF will ever send in one of their jalopies as a token contribution to the "Joint effort".
Nolan Bell
You missed the point, you probably never had one of these launched off the flight deck with a full bomb loadout.
That is why they were the workhorse back then. Enough hardpoints to carry a tank.
