There is only one name that sounds cool AND makes sense in light of world current events.

I know this will be serious for about 5 seconds, but here goes. How bout some new names for the new Strike fighter In my game patch I called it the Thunderhawk since there is a Republic lineage there. Now I'm wondering about <i>Marauder</i> since I love the Mercury Marauder "We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would harm us".

no no no <runs away screaming> NO MORE "II"s the Lightening II was bad enough!! I could go with Avenger easy enough. The DeNogginnizer works too, but "Headzo" is a no-go "We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would harm us".

official or not it will probly go down in history as the Eurotrasher, since that's what it will do to thier fighter industry <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> you'll have the "cheap" Mirage 8000 or whatever by then and the F-35 for those that DONT want to just pretend they have an air force.

Crusadaer does fit with our current war on terrorism. F-16 was the first Eurotrasher..for only those that didn't have access to the F-16 bought the Mirage. |

it's not the names I have trouble with TG, it's the II III IV stuff that makes me nutz, I just hate it, who calls the Phantom, Phantom II? authors mostly lol. I think it's too soon for Crusader again, let the Gunslinger have a few more years in the rockin chair before we use it again.

How about calling it the "Lesbian"? It looks good... There's a cockpit, but you'll never get in there... NOBODY F#cks with it, except another "Lesbian" (Or the export version: the "Dyke") And you can't have one... <i></i> Jesus said: "If you do not have a sword, go and buy one." |

hearing about the JSF, I am not totally convinced about it, though it is, from what I have read about it, a seemingly good fighter, I can not see what is wrong with the original VTOL jet, the British Aerospace Harrier/ MacDonnell.Douglas AV8. however if it does come into service, Perigrine seems a decent name, after all, 3 of the the best fighter aircraft so far of the jet era have had the names of birds of prey, Harrier, Falcon and Eagle. I am doubtful of the reliability of the doors on the fan at the front, also the fan bay is so high it cuts out pilots vision to the rear. a good fighter plane should really have good all round vision. |

they made the fan about as short as they could and that drove the canopy problem(the currant style is stealthier as well), besides they're deepening the fusalage another 2 inches for more fuel(probly mostly for the STOVL version, and to help relieve the tanker duties as much as possible).

I dont even know who Vought(spell?) got folded into!! They probly wouldent release the name if they arnt in on the F-35. Plus it's just too soon for it to be taken from the mighty F-8.

LOL, F-8 has been out of service over 30 years Booms. I don't think Vought even exists in any form now. "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle, and quick to anger." |
