Hello Forestin,
These two kill markings are actually QF-4 drones - not F-16s.
reetings,
Henrik. |

| Looks more like F-4's,and if so, they're probably drones killed by the F-22 |

That's what I was thinking..........if they were simulated the kills the aircraft would be covered!  |

| Raptor pilot don't have to resort to drone "kills", my advice is just wait until you get into combat, we'll start having five minutes Aces again like back in WWII. |

If, the Raptor could carry just a couple more AAM's. You could see double aces in a single mission.............  |

| They can, but at a cost. However given that this is the F-22 it is not inconceivable... |

With the amount of surplus Migs and Sukhois rising by the minute, has the USAF ever considered acquiring a few dozen to use for target practice? Nothing better as a high-fidelity simulator for a Mig-29 that, well, a Mig-29. |

First there must be a menace somewhere. As from now I don't see any potential enemy for an a/a-war.
I think the Raptor will mostly be used in Air-to-ground and not that much in a/a. Anyways it would be suicide to send jets to fight against it. |

Sounds like a great idea! The world is full of Mig-21's and 23's............. |
