Having staged a drag race between a Veyron and a Typhoon which the Veyron lost comprehensibly they have staged another between an Aventador and and a Viper (F-16). One less engine than a Typhoon so it should be pretty close. Maybe the car might win….
Porker One-six you are clear for take off.
Nah no way! Why do they keep doing this. Do they really think a car is going to be faster? Poor demented fools!
So that mightiest of aeronautical war horses is not done quite yet:
Croatia offered German Phantoms to replace MiG-21s
First flown in 1958 that most evocative of all modern combat aircraft, the Mighty Rhino, has seen more service and been used by more operators than just about any other Warbird. With its outer wing dihedral and tailplane anhedral its shape was utterly distinctive.
Even the RAAF used the F-4 while it was waiting for its F-111s so that’s how old the mighty Phantom is. This is the 1972 RAAF display team:
Most closely associated with the war in Vietnam the F-4 has had many devoted Phantom Phlyers and Phixers over the years and now it seems like it may soldier on until God only knows when.
It is indeed primus inter pares.
