This took me TWO MONTHS to perfect. Fun fact: during the Gulf War, and the conflicts in the middle east up to 2015, These bad boys were never shot down, and never lost a single dog fight. But was replaced with the lemon known as the F-35, which f(Bleeeep!!!)ing sucks. it never won any dog fights in simulated training missions versus the old F-16. yes, our newest fighter can be gunned down, and out maneuvered by a fighter built in the late 1970's into the early 1980's.

@XjayIndustrys Life lessons, brought to you by some guy in New England U.S.A. (aka upper East Coast)
Lol @PFCWesty155
@PFCWesty155 So true.
@XjayIndustrys Well, I like to lure those types of people in, so I can use some sarcasm for laughs, like my newest plane. If someone makes you out to look like a clown, be a clown.
@Thehtmguy I made a lemon gun lol
Who cares, it flys, that's all you need @Allstar
@PFCWesty155 when life gives you lemons...
@Allstar hey, "allstar" go check out my newest build. It makes up for my lack of realism that you, oh so, dreadfully beg for.
Oh, and yes, the F-35 is a lemon.
@Allstar So if you don't like my work, you can go away. if you are going to continue on your temper tantrum, it is not going to end very peacefully. so in other words, drop it. "Oh but you got your facts wrong!" SO WHAT. IT HAPPENS. grow up and leave me alone.
@Allstar I see that you hate the fact that I made a plane, but got my facts mixed up. look, it happens. I'm not God, I'm not some holy angel. I'm not an All knowing Being. I make mistakes. but that does NOT give you the right to be mean about it.
@PFCWesty155 Ive decided im going to make an explorer plane like a search and rescue and publish it next week
Yes, an early F-35 model can be gunned down by an advanced model of the F-16. The F-35 is not designed to be a super lightweight multirole fighter. It's designed with BVR capabilities as a result of Stealth tech and increased situational awareness/tech integration. An F-35 is far better suited for the air-ground role than the F-16 is. In real combat, the passive sensors and low RCS will more than likely allow a pilot to lock and fire on an enemy without them even knowing that something is there. In BVR, against an F-22, the F-35 is very likely to win most of the time. The only advantage the F-22 has is superior kinematics WVR. If you can say that about America's premier fighter, what can you say about the rest of the world?
First of all, it doesn't look that much like an F-22. Second, you've got your history screwed up. The F-22 has seen no air-to-air combat as of January 2016, so I'm not sure where that's coming from. The aircraft that most closely resembles your historical description is the F-15 Eagle. While the Eagle has never lost a battle in air to air combat(+100-0 KD), it has , indeed, been shot down before by AA. Even so, that plane was replaced by the F-22, which actually doesn't have a direct replacement.
@PFCWesty155 Itll be awesome no matter how well you do. Im taking apart your planes to learn a thing or two!
@Thehtmguy Thanks! oh, and I will start construction on that B2 tomorrow, at the least okay. it won't be a quick "boop done" type of build, it will take a lot of time and effort to build. so don't expect it to be picture perfect, because you did say it had to fly as well...
Good plane, and a heck of a lot of fun to fly!
