Avro Arrow found!

[IM469]

The Starfighter was never the best plane in the world
I merely pointed out it spanked the Arrow (& Canuck)

We both know the US workhorse had not actually taken flight yet

I mere pointed out factually and with specifications that the F-104 was shit compared with the Arrow based just on the test flights. The twin engines on the Arrow alone would have saved from the 50% crash rate experienced by F-104. Let's face it - the F-104 was shit - even the USAF acknowledged it but for some unfathomable reason you prefer your fantasy to reality.

Where is your revisionist Canada hate coming from ? You can't acknowledge innovations pioneered on the Arrow and used on subsequent aircraft. You demean the company, engineers while suggesting that a piece of shit that cannot maneuver but out run pursuing jets and/or kill it's pilot was a superior choice - absolute bullshit !

He's just a troll.

All of his posts are the same.

All this reads like a bunch of geezers reliving a highschool hockey game they should have won.

You buy used subs from the U.K. And can't deliver a 737 competitor, you shouldn't be in the fighter jet game, your pockets are not deep enough.

Well this much is for sure....

The F35 is a piece of turd. So I would not be so cocky if I were you. The way it looks right now, Canada will pass on buying the F18 superhornets, which is basically a 40 year old plane and will pass on the F35, which doesn't work LOL.

So we either build our own (which would be my preference) or we look to Europe where they at least know how to build a plane that flies.

I think your F35 data is dated. They are being combat deployed now.

And then there is the F22.

LOL the F22 is not even produced anymore. Too expensive and just not worth the price. A US government corporate welfare cheque for Boeing and Lockheed Martin. It's basically an orphaned plane

The F35 is a flying turd. It is a classic dud that no one wants, but figures they should buy because Boeing dangles economic spin offs in front of their noses. Another corporate welfare case. Talk to anyone in the air force and they don't want the F35 because they are completely inferior to what the Russians and Chinese have.

The USA really only built good fighter aircraft in the 60's and 70's. After that, it's been a disaster with one disaster or another. (Probably because all those German Engineers retired or died off.)

In WW2 it was the British building the best fighters. Then it was the Americans in the 60's and 70's. Now frankly it's the Europeans.

If Canada doesn't want to develop its own fighter than we should partner with the French and buy the Rafale. It can beat the F35 into the ground in every respect. And with the French will give you the IP and let Canada build it ourselves under license. A hugely superior plane to the F35 and we build it ourselves? It's a nobrainer.

The ONLY reason Canada was entertaining buying the flying turd F35 was because of politics and Nafta. Well Trump has shown us just what loyalty gets us, so you can stick that flying turd called the F35 right back up Trump's ass where it belongs.
