Iranian airforce?  When the hell did they teach camels to fly?

You can't teach a camel to fly...they fly carpets and rugs.  I hear that 125 thread count is a beast.

Thanks man.  I emailed him this morning and asked him where he got the story.  His reply:

"Tell them its an anecdote, to laugh, and not to be so uptight."

My face is sooooo red.   :o

FWIW, I did laugh.  ;D  And I'd love to see the two air forces in action.  8)

F 18's and F 35's  versus OLD F -14's, Mirages and Migs ? It WOULD be a slaughter.

The F-18 ain't exactly a "young" airframe but with modern avionics and strike capability, I think "Turkey Shoot" would be an understatement!

All the crap that made the Tomcat good, Phoenix missile, them Iranian don't got.  Not the mention their pilots are probably among the worst in the world, hell they may not get but a few hours flying a month.  Not enough F-14 part to sustain an air force.

True, but the Tomcat is still pretty capable no matter who's flying em.  Problem is, an F-18 can kill ya from way over the horizon and then some.....

Tom, ya seem pretty knowledgable about this stuff, has the F-35 seen any service yet?

I know their IN service, I don't know if they have been used over seas yet. If they have it's only been for bombing missions.
