Good news: Vacation for me starting Wednesday till Monday and next week, we have Friday off. hehehehe.

Only countries with viable airforces that we could possibly go into conflict with are North Korea and China. For the most part manned fighters are going the way of the do-do in terms of just military purposes, but as a person who liked seeing those planes fly (and still does), they are really amazing. Its like an F1 driver in 3 dimensions instead of 2.

If you really want to see something cool, you should see a vector thrust fighter go through its paces. Like a sukhoi 37 or a x-39.

Chinese don't make their own planes. They are Russian Migs/Sukois/Antonovs.....

A couple of variants to the su-37, the su-39,etc. A Mig 35/Mig39 development project. They've been pretty busy. The current Migs/Sukhois have also had some updates made to them, but nothing major.. They still have capabilites that rival the planes in our current fleet (though most were probably stolen).
