The last time i went away it was for a month and i made a similar thread with a question/riddle thingy in it. This time i am going away for 6 months ergo the 6 billion dollar question.
Anyways the aim is simple. Whoever gets it first wins. I will be back on in 6 months to read (hopefully) the correct answer.
As being a pilot is such a big part of my life i thought it appropriate to think of a tough, but answerable question on an air force related subject.
The question is....
If two Harrier GR7s came up against two MiG 29s, in a within visual range dogfight, what are the two possible techniques the harrier pilots should employ, with regards to the lead pilot and the wingman?
It may seem hard and thats because it is. I dont really expect people to get the correct answers to this question but i will be back around late May to see if someone has got it.
In the meantime good luck with answering the question and bye for 8 months!
In depth study!!! 1. The most obvious limitation is the aircraftâs limited internal fuel capacity of 3500-kg (4400 kg with a centreline tank). We have no air-to-air refuelling capability, and our external tank is both speed and manoeuvre limited. We also have only a limited number of tanks.
2. There is poor discrimination between targets flying in formation, and we canât lock onto the target in trail, only onto the lead.
3. We have a very limited range, especially at high speed and low altitudes, and are limited to 540-kt with external fuel.
With that in mind they could perform some sort of attack (or more like a defense since the mig 29 is still a superb air fighter) where the harrier gr7's fly at low altitude where one might fly as a sort of bait while the other tracks the mig-29 following the bait and try to start some sort of attack on it (referring to point 2).
Neough! I hate when that happens, those stupid question mark things. Anyway, the first question mark thing is supposed to be aircraft and the second is supposed to be cant
Okay guys this will be my last post before going inactive so listen up good!
ok, that makes no sense, i suck with planes totally. hopefully this catches on!
lol.just lol.
For 6 months?! Seriously? And what does the "hopefully" part mean?! Your not going to die, are you?!
Yep 6 months. The hopefully part means that i still might not be active when i get back depending on where i am posted afterwards.
umm lol the harrier shold i dunno fire a missle
lol. Care for a little more detail?
Is this like an open ended question or what? Is it a riddle with a tirck question or is some in depth study involved?
I can safely say that this isnt a riddle or a trick question. It is just really hard. I expect some people to get one of the parts of the question right but not the other one as im not sure if its a technique widely kown of in the non aviation community. O well good luck anyway.
99 percent complete you are kind of on the right track. But you need to put in more detail. However there is the technique which i mentioned before which i doubt anyone will get. Bye then.
