Re. 'Like Minded's' interesting post, I'm intrigued as to what ' Kinematic' performance is, presumably when combined with ' off broadsight' capabability this is something which would be really impressive in an I-Max cinema... ( and look how they're so successful they're all over the place ).
As for ranting about BVR, then talking in the next breath about AIM9X, I don't think this is a trolling journo'.
From sensible posts, it would seem to me the RAAF could do a lot worse than Typhoon, given conformal tanks & tanker support.
Then there's always the old chestnut of a converted airliner with a jolly good big radar, and rows of pylons for AMRAAMS etc; did see that suggested again at least semi-seriously recently by Boeing I think.
Not so good at A-G dual role though, unless it carried parasitic or towed A-10's / UCAV's ?!
