This amounts to a sales piece for a remarkable airplane - it's 4
minutes long, but it's worth watching to the end.

If you wach closely in full screen mode, you can see the differential
flipper action: there is some busy computer helping the pilot.

It's an impressive airplane, but it makes one wonder if there's a
likely mission that would require an airplane with this agility. Are
close encounters with the bad guys likely, or do missiles do the deed
from long range?

What about the Eurofighter? It's got a low radar x-section, a faster
turn, super cruise and excellent manuverability -I hear. It also has
some fancy detectors too to overcome radar stealthy objects...
