    Falklands War, Argentinian Air Force FMA AI 58 Pucara with really close specs to the zero speed wise and more modern arms got turned into hammered dog poo by a harrier.
    An Argie Dagger (I believe the pilot was Jose Ardilies (sp) got eaten alive by a Harrier even though the Harrier was carrying one missile, slower, and was locked for a missile attack. The Harrier pilot vectored to hover mid flight which slowed him to a stop and pushed his aircraft up and back. The Dagger flew under him and Harrier gained missile lock immediately for the kill. The Harriers were a deadly aircraft when used correctly. I remember reading an article written be an Argentine conscript a few months after the war. He was stationed on Stanley Airfield protecting the Pucara's when the Black Buck raids started. He said Harriers would fly to the field hover at one end and shoot anything and everything parked on the airfield then fly away.

        • AR, this is just to tide me over until the Giants can kick Patriot ass again in a couple of weeks...

                    • 1. I don't see the Giants able to beat the Patriots twice in one season...especially when Belichek has 2 weeks to prepare.

                      2. Avatar is up for 2 weeks and then back to Mr. Orr...not a bandwagon jumper at all. I was as happy that 30 seconds after Cundiff missed (Ravens HAD to call timeout...bad decision) Tyler Seguin scored the game winner in a shootout againsgt the Flyers. Always a Bruins fan first....Patriots are a close second.

                      3. You all have access to the internet....try NETFLIX, or porn! (sheep optional)

                        It's the Patriots and the Giants in the super bowl.

                        That's punishment enough.

                          • Jealous because the closest thing to a California team reaching the Super Bowl this year was stopped by their own player muffing a punt not once, but twice?

                              That, and calling a punt on fourth down and INCHES in sudden-death OT!

                              • Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, and I for one am more than happy to stay up all night to watch a team I actually care about play in the Superbowl, instead of randomly choosing sides before the game
