I understand the argument about comparing performance between combat loaded aircraft rather than their airshow unloaded equivalents but isn't that what the jettison stores button is for.

It would be interesting to know which is the more quickly reconfigurable a conventional jet with hung stores /weapons or a stealh design with fuel and weapons integrated. Having said that you can still have them hung off the stealth design. What price stealth ?

Back to the 7G. Is the consensus that it is worth building jets to manoeuvre upto the restrictions imposed by the pilot or is this level of manoeuvrability not required tactically?

I thought i heard (not a pussy cat!) that USN F18 were restricted to 7G ?!?
