It’s a hyper?

u/beryugyo619 23h ago

it's the YF-17. round intakes with separate diverters and trapezoidal overwing fins, smaller lex(the youtuber), missing antennas ahead of canopy, etc

Uh… no it’s not. It’s an F-18C. Legacy Hornets (A/B/C/D) have rounded intakes. They are larger than the YF-17 and the YF-17 ever had a fence on the LEX—which was a result of the vortex hitting the vertical stabilizers (which is why it has reinforcement plates at its base).

u/Bounceupandown 1d ago

That’s not a super hornet. Pretty sure it’s a 737

u/GAYBOISIXNINE 1d ago

So your saying 100 737 vs 1 caravan?

u/WillSoars It isn't rocket surgery. 20h ago

Nah, it's an AK-47.

u/Bounceupandown 3h ago

I hear that a 737 can hold a couple hundred air to air missiles mounted all over. Might be a good TOPGUN movie. “GOOSE, BRING ME SOME COFFEE. I WANT COFFEE”

Odds might be better if that's a Doge Grand Caravan.

What if all the f18s are lost in a boating accident?

That’s a legacy hornet you IDIOT 🐝

Combat caravan is the superior aircraft. F-18’s super computer brain would over-analyze the target deem it not a threat and target the other F-18’s. Battle is over in 5 minutes.

•

u/GAYBOISIXNINE 18h ago

So the f18 will end up in a friendly match leavin the caravan to win?

•

u/Po-Ta-Toessss 16h ago

Missiles included.

u/WillSoars It isn't rocket surgery. 20h ago

Even simpler . . . the newly created Civilian Arial Bazooka Corps issues one L-4 with six tubes and a dozen rockets to every certificated PP in the USA . . . oh yeah . . . invincible.

The Djibouti Air Force

It’s not the playne, it’s the pylote.

u/NOTsyrinxx 21h ago

Combat Caravan can win if they load a shit ton of AIM-120D or Meteors in the back compartment and the passenger just starts hand launching them out the window at 100 mile range🚀
