Interesting fighter pilot article

Post by Yokes »

This is a little old, but I didn't see it linked here yet.

An excellent article by a former fighter pilot:
How To Win In A Dogfight

I really appreciated this about aircraft speed:
A lot is written about the F-15 being Mach 2.5 capable. First off, Mach 2.5 is altitude limited to above 50,000 feet and time limited to 1 minute maximum. I've flown the jet to Mach 2.35, its normal operating limit, on only a couple of occasions.

People need to stop hating on the 950 kts speed limit for most fighters in CMANO...
