I've been thinking about what to do with my "Roll Your Own F-16". I bought a set of decals for it (Arkansas ANG), but I've been thinking about doing something different.
Not THAT'S different!

Thanks, Ski!
We have, it seems to me, two periodic airshows in Poland, but I never participated in them

Yes, I would like to see the Polish F-16s
in action (bang, bang!), but I must not say, where (I will not damage the relations between Poland and some two countries)

Hmm...the helmet-mounted, off-boresight targeting capabilities are key here. Cutting edge stuff provided you can lock up your target quickly. Basically, it can fire at a passing enemy plane or aircraft outisde the usual cone of target acquisition. The Russians supposedly had this technology for years but never advertised it to the west. Nasty business when you dont have to line up your aircraft on the "6" of your adversary to fire your short range missiles.

Lightning, I'm sorry, but the modern warfare technology is for me like a black (or white
) magic. I hope, our F-16s will successfully defend us and other countries. It is all I can understand...
