F-35 Lightning II (joint Strike Fighter)

with;

versus:

MiG29OVT

As much as I love the MiG and have every confidence that it will out-fly anything with wings, I just don't think it will get the chance. :`(

None the less, I love that MiG maintains "that modern counter-measures allow airplanes to avoid missiles and a fighter will soon use all its missiles up, and be forced to return to dog-fighting, perhaps with guns..."

What a beautiful machine, with its "steel flowers."

I should probably point out that the F-35 can only change the vector of it's thrust along the one axis. And the reason you don't see it maneuver, is because it can't.
