Buy Mirage 2000, must be a few secondhand. Try E-Baie.
11.2G, guns tracking an F-16 pulling 9G - I've seen it.

At some point, the political realities of deficits will mean a program this far over-budget and behind schedule will outweigh the military arguments. I think that point is less than 15 months away. If there is no significant increase in the threat from China/Russia,it will go in the budget cuts following next year's fiscal cliff, which will be even steeper than this year's. A couple of big money drains like Hurricane Sandy and it'll go sooner.
