Mach 2 in a Hornet? It's only capable of Mach 1.7!!!

But then again, maybe nose down from 55,000ft, full afterburner - who knows?

I sure as hell would like to give it a try!

As I said earlier in the thread, I still think F-15E's or Super Hornets are the way to go.

Whilst on the topic...

What are all these ideas on striking Indonesian targets? Don't you think you're jumping the gun, even just a little bit?

I mean sure, they may be the only targets that we perceive as capable of posing a threat, but I bet the Americans didn't think the Taliban from Afghanistan were capable of hi-jacking four airliners and destorying the WTC, Pentagon and countless lives.

A little bit premature don't you think?

Cheers,

Souls.
