Cool pic of breaking the sound barrier

Hey Brian! Your job is soooo cool... You are living my dream! Always wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was a kid...I was always watching flicks like Top Gun, Iron Eagle etc...but sometimes what you want to be as a kid is not what you really end up doing.

Anyway...about the F-22's...they have stealth right? do they show up on your radar when dog fighting? Also, do they have like crazy maneuverability because of their thrust vectoring? Are the F-18's at a big disadvantage?

Apologies for the 20 questions! I just find your job super interesting!

Hey man,

Thanks for the flattery, but remember, anyone who wants to focus on a certain career path can do the job I do... even go further than me (easily). Just takes determination is all.

As for the questions on maneuverability, thrust vectoring, stealth, radar cross section, etc... 1. fighter type aircraft are designed to be maneuverable, and thrust vectoring, by definition, would aid that; and 2: i dunno.
