In Spain we are very proud of our Hornet and the pilots who fly them. When they reached the Air Force, the F-18 was one of the best fighter-bombers in Europe, and since then have been the backbone of our military aviation. A few years ago were modernized, and have been integrated Taurus and Iris-T missiles, besides the Litening II and RecceLite. We currently have 84 aircraft (62 A and 12 B) over 6 squadrons, one operational conversion and 5 fighter. I love our Hornets!

I think they're more disappointed that it isn't a same-generation engagement since it doesn't confirm their preconceived bias between the F-teens and the MiGs of the last few decades. Nobody can use this to say that Americans are better than Russians and they find it disappointing. Others are defensive about the MiGs and so they quickly point out it wasn't an "even" match. I don't really know enough about aircraft history to know the jet fighter generations backwards and forwards.

These were head-on shots, no turning invovled. Still pretty awesome. They are 2 out of 3 of all the air-to-air kills the Hornet/Super Hornet has, but in the hornets defense, they weren't flying CAP very often, most of the air-to-air kills the US has since Vietnam, have been in the F-15C, because that's all that airplane does, it was the primary air superiority fighter the US had. When awacs picked up a bandit they didn't vector hornets in, because they probably were carrying bombs and multiple fuel tanks. If nothing else this proved the whole Multirole self escorting thing works.

If you don't catch the cable you speed up and try landing again lol, you have to be an idiot to fall into water. Once the pilot feels the wheels hit the ground, he is supposed to go full throttle, either he will be stopped by the tross or he will have enough thrust to immediately take off and try landing again. Which is rare because for that to happen you have to be a terrible flier and miss your landing spot, or just unlucky enough for several hook skips (hook somehow bouncing off the wire) to occur, there's more than one "wire" to catch you. There's no magic in it, just obvious safety rules that everyone follows. If you want to be impressed by something like that, think of prop planes, with those you couldn't just go full throttle because their rudders and ailerons couldn't handle it in those specific conditions, you also have to adjust for torque of your motor, but all of this is a downside of a turboprop and luckily long gone.

Nope Nopenope Doubt they were out of ammo being commanded to run or scared seeing the 18's is possible but they made a fatal mistake what they should have done instead was to turn into the 18's that would have given them a better chance. If I had been in the F-18 I would have done the exact same thing and shot them down before they even knew I was there I would'nt give them the chance to even start a fight exactly how every fighter pilot has tried to do since WW1

And at that point, absolutely no kills have happened with a minigun ever(well against fixed wing aircraft). This ain't battlefield bro. Don't hate on the professionals

Sniper5354 The radar does not pick up missile launches. The RWR does. The Mig-21's RWR is weak, old and with a high risk of failure. Also, the hornet launched an Aim-9 Heatseeking missile first which hit before the radar guided Aim-7 sparrow, and as the AIm-9 is not guided via radar, it didn't give away the launch and combined with the very, very poor and restricted rear visibility of the Mig, it was a sure easy kill.

I don't think it does. Depending on aircraft and it's configuration, maybe, for example, A10Cs have those sensors but for the F15 or not to even mention the even older Mig 21, there's no indication of an ir launch, only radar launches will give you a warning.

The mig-21 is actually a very good airframe/craft, but the countries that use it are very ignorant on its potential when it's upgraded. The Chinese upgraded versions of these (J-7 fighters, I think?) come with upgraded avionics, radar, and an updated airframe. Still not as capable as an American fighter, but it can stand on its own.

The MiG-21 can be maneuverable at higher rates of speed, especially for its age. However, in a lower speed fight, the small wings and control surfaces become a major disadvantage. I'm sure it could definitely outrun and outclimb a Hornet, but in a turning fight it would have little chance. That's why the MiG-21s in Vietnam would do fast hit and runs and ambushes from high altitude on strike aircraft, and generally try to avoid tangling with the F-4s in a straight-up dogfight.

Later, as a young adult playing in a band, I would get a first hand look at the USS Boxer, loaded down with helicopters and bound for Viet Nam, at that same Naval base. Hornets could be the best aircraft since the B-52. Incredibly fast, maneuverable and wildly flexible in weapons capability. They fly over my house from time-to-time. My only complaint is that they are too high and too fast. Slow it down and bring it down, will you ladies and gentlemen?
