Navaleye,
Bit confused (genuinely, not being sarcastic) - does the FA2 have a wicked AoA capability then, is that what you mean? If you are pointing (obvious caveats added) and not turning (conventionally) then you must have alpha on (although I do realise that the FA2 can do some bizarre things with nozzles and suchlike)? An F18 can also outpoint an F15 etc, - wondered if it was the same deal. But remember - it's one thing being able to point at someone, it's another thing (as I am sure you know) to be able to........ It does take a good / trained eye to know when to 'accept' being pointed at!
I have never seen an FA2 do anything 'odd' in BFM/ACM except the monster slowy-down thing (which caused my eyes to pop out of their sockets) - or maybe he departed and just called it a viff in the debrief? :-)
I have to say that I'd love to have a go in the FA2 (or even the GR), the whole hovering thing has always seemed fun. I think you have a nice aeroplane chap - enjoy! Hats off to the dudes who land those things on boats (or fields, car parks etc!).
