      It's funny that they are flying a jet we stopped building in 1981. Then again it was a really great aircraft, with nearly the same top speed and ceiling as that F-22.

            Ironically that's what the Iranian F4's will be used for as well!

              You know the Iranian was freaked the fuck out. He's cruising along, his radar only showing the drone, coming up on it only to see a Raptor pop up and give a wave

                So do lots of other countries. It wouldn't surprise me if the Sundowners have a few for training purposes as well.

                    Somewhere in the halls of an airbase is the pic taken from his wingman with a Raptor hanging out underneath an Iranian F-4.....

                    Every once in a while this Squid will give props to the Air Force.
