What an incredible bit of kit, no wonder the Yanks won't sell them to

Saw another video of a RAAF Super Hornet and it was also pretty impressive.
I'm betting my 2 grandsons will both want to be fighter pilots after tomorrow:-)

you, you win.

I was really meaning in a *dogfight*, as that line was used when the
USAF debuted the F35 with Ricardo Trevan (from memory) at Avalon so many
years ago
