What's funny Hummingbird, is you will not even believe Lt. Music Muczysnski who was actually in combat. Sorry, but he said he went into a 7G turn. The burden of proof is on you. It's your own word of mouth and your followers.
He says it at 2:23 mark:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjDTGS4BDmUSo you know more about being in actual combat than a real life Tomcat pilot?
You know more about the jet than the guys that actually flew it? like CDR Chesire (flitetime.net, seems you're too scared to email him, because he is going to tell you something you will not like) CDR Nawrocki (Facebook F-14assoc), LCDR "Smokin" Joe Ruczika, Tbarn (F-14D pilot on youtube).
LCDR "Smokin" Joe Ruczika in his own words:
https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/an-el ... 1610043625Let me guess you know more about the Tomcat than him?
Here is a video of the supposed Invincible F-14D with its giant GE F110 engines getting killed by a Block 30 F-16N of VF-126. Seems like everything CDR Nawrocki said was true, it happens at 6:25 mark:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKLHr9WlJos So let me guess Mr. Nawrocki is full of BS like all the other Tomcat aviatiors?
Even Fulcrumflyer (who is on this forum), he was a USAF exchange pilot with the German Air Force at Laage has 500+ hours in the Mig-29. He told me that the F-14D was not his toughest opponent against the Fulcrum (as you and your followers on Eagles.ru incorrectly state) he told me that it was the GE powered USAF Vipers that were his toughest opponents against the Mig-29 Fulcrum. He also authored this article. But let me guess, he is wrong too:
https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/how-t ... 1682723379I earlier posted comments by 35_aoa (an actual active Naval aviator) who flies the F-18A/C/E and flew the Block 15 F-16A model out at Fallon, Nv. (NSAWC) aka TOPGUN, is he also wrong?
35_aoa comments on the subject:
He says that Viper is at an advantage (if flown properly) against the Hornet.

"I''d submit that most of these comparison articles are written by USN folks, like myself, who only flew the F-16N, or in my case, the A/B a number of years later, in a very limited sense, compared to the multitude of mission sets the CAF flies them in.......and obviously neither the -N, nor the block 15 is/was representative of the block 50/52's that are currently on the front lines. We flew them exclusively as red air/adversary aircraft, and in roughly equal parts, dedicated BFM sorties. So while there is a lot of anecdotal info on how the Viper compares to the Hornet/Super in a dogfight (spoiler alert: the Viper is at an advantage if flown properly), I wouldn't say there is a lot out there about how the two compare, in current operational configurations, in the mission sets that are most relevant to a combat scenario. Granted, such a true comparison would be well beyond the scope of an unclassified internet discussion or open source article, so this is hardly surprising."

"This would be a great topic of conversation at the club/vault, but obviously I can't really get into any meaningful detail here. Suffice to say the Viper and Hornet fight differently……both have strengths and weaknesses. I'd say that I would prefer to BFM in a Viper, but I have also seen that fight go both ways. A slick F/A-18E or big motor F/A-18C is pretty much on par, especially if flown well. In general, the Viper is a bit more forgiving of mistakes, aside from actually departing from controlled flight, in which case it is way scarier than an F/A-18. As for the other stuff, I'd just throw out that you have also probably seen a lot of junior Viper pilots make some dumb mistakes. I've seen AF guys completely fong it away as well, though I don't consider that to be the norm. SFO's are pretty fun though…….closest I will ever get to flying the space shuttle orbiter."
Oh, and show me (so as you say "I only go by official NATOPS documents") in the NATOPS Tomcat flight manual where it says 9G? Oh, that's right, it doesn't.
And draw in the -P lines in your suppose 9G EM chart. Which would be a total laugh-
And please provide me with official data (as you say that I must) about where the Tomcat actually lost weight? Please show me official NATOPS docs.
Even Quicksilver (a USMC pilot on this fourm) had this to say (and let me guess, you will not believe him): scroll down the page to read his statement:
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=28783&start=120and here it is again:
"I am not a NFWS alum, but have fought Eagles and Tomcats many, many times. I learned BFM when it was G/H/P 'winders and exclusively LCOS gunsights. Lotsa maneuvering for envelope management that simply doesnt exist in the same context today.
'A' model Tomcat a much different BFM adversary than a B/D Tomcat, accepting for the moment an assumption of similar pilot proficiency (a big assumption...). The difference, of course, was the engines -- vastly different Ps and freedom to maneuver without fear of stalling the engine. TF-30 shortcomings in the 'A' are extensively documented in the public domain.
Eagle generally a tougher BFM opponent, but there were periods of time where pilots were getting less BFM exposure (cyclic budget stuff that affects everyone from time to time) and it was apparent in the apparent BFM proficiency of Eagle guys. You've got X number of sorties per month; do you spend it on BFM or BVR stuff? Always a delicate balance that COs/OpsOs/TrainingOs had/have to balance.
I know it's fun to compare the charts and the numbers but, in my experience, the quantifiable differences were always subordinate to pilot ability/experience -- always. That was then, this is now and things have changed."
I will admit, I do not have the official Block 40 manual, nor does any one else. It is classified as with the Block 30. But this diagram seems to get it right. The Block 42 Pratt -229 is lighter because: 1. it is equipped with the lighter NSI intake, not the "Big Mouth". 2. the Pratt F100-229 is lighter than the GE F110-100/129.
So the 180FW Captain of the Ohio ANG was correct. Have you ever even seen a Block 42 w/Pratt -229 fly. It's a total monster-
But let me guess, according to you, the 180th Captain is lying too.........
