Salute!
Great updates, F16Guy.
For some reason I thot those antennas were more realted to RHAW than to IFF. Last I dealt with that "spectrum" of electronic stuff we were more interested in non-coperative tgt recognition using the RHAW, IFF and the radar we had.
Only time I flew more than 20 knots above basic speed was with the LEF failure, and I held that until touchdown. Almost lost it, but thank God I did not flare but simply pull back throttle at the touch. The drag was immense and I made the mid-field turnoff easily after a 160 knot touch.
No doubt that sucker does not want to land! And ditto on fwd stick pressure. I personally did not like the 11 deg AoA and then flare , having come from the Sluf. When solo, I flew the 13 deg bracket and then added a touch of back stick as I pulled power off. I taught the studs both, but most folks liked the two-stage flare.
Great stuff from the "new" generation. I miss it sorely.
