"Relic?" You bet!

Thank God it's finally hitting the Press. Typhoon is a relic and should have been in Service 5 years ago and not in 2 years time as is expected.

Having flown the last Air Defence "Relic" that BAe produced, that was also late into Service without a full Operational Clearance, I really don't fancy our chances in 2010. Picture this; Red Flag 2010, Typhoon has re-invented the "Funky-Chicken" (AKA Tornado vs AMRAAM) to try and break down the SA of the JSF and F22 drivers, failure to do so will enable these stealthier airframes to "First see and launch" against a jet designed in the 1980s.

Roll on 16/38 point I've had enough of playing these games. I suppose there's always JSF to hope for...............Dreeeam, dream, dream....
