Perhaps we should send some RAF Typhoon pilots to....."TOP GUN"....!

Cue background music..............







Seriously though, a couple of points to ponder:



What is the normal standard of journalism of the Register?

Who has ever read an article, from any fighter pilot (hence large ego), anywhere in the world, that says.."we were thrashed"..."they were all over us man"..."we might as well have stayed on the ground"....etc. If the guy is going to make any comment, it will be about the strengths/achievements/positive abilities of himself and his fellow pilots and native air force.


The actual quote in the original link (abbreviated?) from the PAF pilot comments on the training of NATO pilots in close in fighting, rather than the relative performence of the F-16 vs Typhoon airframes!
