mig versus f14/f15



NON ALFA CONTENT

           Agreed the Mig 29 is a better aircraft.Better roll rate, mech
flight controls vs fly by wire,better radar cross section.Better hot high
field performance,too and costs a WHOLE lot less.But a 50 hour TBO on the
engines is unacceptable.(The first Russian jet engine was the Klimov vk4,
which was a stolen copy of the Rolls Royce Nene axial flow jet.British
couldn't build electronics Or motors very well,the Nene had a 50 hour TBO
too.Progress?)

All in Good fun,
