Nice!

I'd prefer a DeHavaland Mosquito (the night fighter variant) as it has a similar top speed and longer range. but yeah, at a pinch I'd take one of those, sod it, who am I kidding, I want 2 of em ;-)

I would point out that this is a NOT a fighter jet, its a high speed trainer in the same mould as the BAE Hawk, and has a similar performance.

It *can be fitted with various ordinance*, such as freefall bombs, sidewinder (or its russian equivilant - probably Aphid). But it is still primarily a training aircraft.

Still, not bad at all, and given the cuts that the UK airforce are going to have to make in order to get its eurofighters, may well be worth passing on to the MOD.

Hehe. You'd be better off buying the Griffin. It's faaar cheaper, and has similiar performance, IIRC.

I have a dream...

Look at the instrument panel (since I apparently can't say {bleep}pit) and you'll see why I want one.  Badly.

Yeah I watched with interest what Saab were producing in Griffin, and its a very versatile aircraft, though not as survivable (in as much as it would take less to knock out a Griffin as it would a eurofighter) as Eurofighter, you can get 2 for the same price so it does ballance out. hell, Griffin as it stands is cheeper then the aging Tornado F3s/Gr1s and far more versatile not to mention manuvourable.

WOW...an all glass cockpit, I image they're touch screens, well they look like touch screens anyway.

Yeah.
Both planes will blow up if directly hit by a AAM, though. :-)

The thing with Eurofighter is that its designed in such a way as to make getting that shot off much more difficult (if you can outmanuvoure your oponant to the degree that eurofighter can do to just about everything out there currently) then you have a better chance of surviving in a dogfight. Not to mention the potential to avoid the missile in the first place.

But by the gods don't you pay through the nose for that sort of agility.

Unless your the haplass victim of an AMRAAM or something along those lines.

Considering most modern AAM's can pull turns in excess of 15G's, you would have to be real lucky.
