Didn't the Eurofighter do the going-vertically-upwards-then appearing-to-stop-in-the-air thing in 2004? The Raptor is a lot nicer looking than the Eurofighter though. Reply to this message | Report message

The Lightning did it ("going-vertically-upwards-then appearing-to-stop-in-the-air ") a LONG time before the Eurofighter... JH Reply to this message | Report message

>> sometimes it couldnt I think that one was due to a birdstrike. The ones that crashed because the Russian Airforce couldn't aford to maintain them aren't in Youtube. Reply to this message | Report message

Amazing what a 1977 plane could do with powerful engines etc. The MiG29 was quite some plane. Reply to this message | Report message

I may be wrong but I thought this was pretty well cancelled by Obama last year as too expensive, and not so useful for the kinds of missions they fly now, for which the F-35 is a better match, etc. As a concession they will build only 150 + export market (if any).

An interesting read. Also note that exports are banned and numbers to be built stands at 187. Reply to this message | Report message
