John- That pretty much sums it up (although IME the so-called super fox
was
not
so super when it was just man y mano).


Exactly where it excelled ... humbling the Gen 4 jets in 1v1. BRBR

I agree-Don't know who said the F+ was so 'super' but it certainly was.
Flaps
at 1/2, slats out, the ability to point and harass in the 100 kt range was
impressive.


Yep. They took the T-45 out to Fallon and did a little training with it.
It's a dog clean (pitch buck just when it ought to be digging in to turn),
but half flaps are awesome. Climbing turns in the 100 - 110 range, turn
rates around 18-20/sec ... troublesome for the guys that like to throw out
the anchor.
