I know, I know, ;-)

yeagh it will be a sad day. . . but the fighter pilot glory days were during World War One and it was all down hill from there, now everything is point and click and away goe sthe missile. . . in fact dogfighting really is a thing of the past (although interestingly the phantom was suposed to do this, thus why it wasn't designed with guns on it) we don't train our pilots for dogfighting anywhere near as much as the russians do/did, our strategy now is 'see them first, hit them with a missile before they hit you'. our radars are better and our missiles have greater range. Heck our pheonix missile has range in excess of 184km. Its not what it used to be, I could be wrong though. . .
