Bill, thanks for all the great images you post.
I have a question about something I have always wondered about and
cannot seem to find any information. With the variety of aircraft that
participate in Maple Flag, you may have sources who can answer this:

How do the US designs stack up against the European designed fighters in
air-to-air combat?

I know much has to do with the pilot and his/her knowledge of the
aircraft they fly advantages and limitations, but some designs should
have more advantages than disadvantages.

I am courious as to how widely applied John Boyd's formulas have been
applied by non-US designers.
