FA 18E Super Hornet Both the single seat E and two-seat F models convert quickly from one mission type to the next with the flip of a switch to provide consistent air dominance: * Day/night strikes with precision-guided weapons * Anti-air warfare * Fighter escort * Close air support * Suppression of enemy air defense * Maritime strike * Reconnaissance * Forward air control * Tanker Payload Flexibility The Super Hornet's versatility applies to its weapon stations and payload types: * 11 weapon stations * Supports a full complement of smart weapons, including laser-guided bombs * Carries a full spectrum mix of air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance Power and Flight Characteristics The Super Hornet is powered by two General Electric F414-GE-400 engines: * Distinctive caret-shaped inlet to provide increased airflow and reduced radar signature * 22,000 pounds (98 Kn) of thrust per engine, 44,000 pounds (196 Kn) per aircraft Flight qualities: * Highly departure resistant through its operational flight envelope. * Unlimited angle-of-attack and carefree flying qualities for highly effective combat capability and ease of training. * Reconfigurable digital flight-control system detects and corrects for battle damage.

F-15E on short take off The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather ground attack strike fighter. It was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft. The Strike Eagle, a major derivative of the F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter, was deployed in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Allied Force, carrying out deep strikes against high-value targets, combat air patrols, and providing close air support for coalition troops. It has also seen action in later conflicts and has been exported to several countries. United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles can be distinguished from other U.S. Eagle variants by darker camouflage and conformal fuel tanks mounted along the engine intakes.
Blue Angles F/A 18E Super Hornet Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a twin-engine 4.5 generation[3][4] carrier-based multirole fighter aircraft. The F/A-18E single-seat variant and F/A-18F tandem-seat variant are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm gun and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried with up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.
North American P-51 Mustang Generally considered the best fighter of WWII "The day I saw Mustangs over Berlin, I knew the jig was up." Hermann Goering 15,100 planes produced. P-51D specs: 440 MPH, six 50 caliber machine guns Physically, it was pleasing to the eye and looked fast, even sitting on the ground. Power was provided by a V-1650 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine built under license in the States by Packard, the luxury automobile company. The V-1650 was a fine engine and could be taken up to 61 inches of manifold pressure at 3,000 RPM for take-off or, if needed in combat, 67 inches for up to five minutes in Emergency Power. Normally aspirated engines tended to run out of power as altitude increased, usually between 15,000 and 20,000 feet. The P-51 had a two-stage blower in the induction system that was controlled automatically with a barometric switch. Around 17,000 feet, when the throttle had been advanced almost all the way forward just to maintain normal cruise, the blower would kick into high, the manifold pressure would jump up, and the climb could be continued to 30,000 feet. The P-51 could be taken a lot higher than that, but above 30,000 feet the power was way down and the controls had to be handled gingerly.
