Shit - that's tense man.
I must have missed the clear to engage before the lead took his shot. Really cool videos.
WTF were the Libyans doing there? Apart from being outclassed mechanically, they essentially just kept daring the F-14s to shoot them down. It's like yelling 'hit me! hit me!' with your arms at your side and then....y'know...getting shot with a missile.
Thanks for the info. So the short answer is that the F-35 is pretty much built as a straight up interceptor. It still seems like they could have made one of those and not have it come at the expense of the F-22 program.
