He gained 12 confirmed air to air kills in war with iraq that is marvelous, Not to denegrate his skills, but it helps to be in a target-rich environment. Were these AAM or Gun kills? What kind of targets did he shoot down? Migs, Helos, Mirage F.1s? p.s. I wn't let my feelings about an individual's government get in the way of my respect for a good pilot. I respect Eric Hartmann, too. |

Nothing wrong with being proud of your AF, proud of your nation, and proud of aeronautical achievements. But, claims of being the "best F-XX pilot worldwide" based on kills against what has proven to be a decidely over-rated and demonstrably second rate fighting force are a classic example of "chutzpah"--which brings to mind what might be a significantly more challenging set of adversaries.....

He gained 12 confirmed air to air kills in war with iraq that is marvelous, This is one of those infamous questions that defies a definitive answer, as the answer will change from minute to minute on any given day. Putting an Iranian flown Turkey in killing proximity to a slew of Iraqi pilots might not be the ultimate criteria for defining the world's greatest fighter pilot. Getting the answer to a question like this one is virtually impossible unless the exact criteria for definition has been set; and even then, another pilot given another criteria might easily meet in the air and defeat on any given day the winner of the first criteria :-) No, I'm afraid one simply can't just stand up and make a blanket statement that one pilot is the best of the best. Many in fact who were considered at one time the best of the best, suddenly ended up dead; killed by one of those not considered the best of the best when the poll was taken first time around. I had a sign hanging over my desk for many years that sort of addresses this issue. Granted I was dealing not with the combat situation, but teaching a flying scenario to other pilots that is one of the most dangerous in aviation. The sign read as follows; "Jim was the finest stick I've ever known in my life. He was one horrific flying son-of-a bitch. He could do things with an airplane you wouldn't believe. In all his entire career, Jim only made one mistake with an airplane that I can remember. Jim's dead!" Lesson learned here is that you can easily be the best of the best one second,but not necessarily the next. :-) Dudley Henriques |

Seriously, although the results of the Iranian pilot are not disputed but could be? I don't see how you could compare a pilot with perhaps hundreds of hours at best from Iran with any US Tomcat pilot with thousands of hours,,,,,no comparison. |
