    Why does it look like the Colombian Kfirs have a really high take-off speed and they still look like they are barely able to fly? The sink rate after lift off is pretty dramatic.

    Almost all Delta fighters need a long runaway to take off, that includes Mirage III, IV, V, Mig 21, J-7 they need a pain to take off, because rather high of speed. And so when they land, much faster than other aerodynamic configurations. It clear shows in the video

    Hmm, the good old 'fat boy' EA-6B was there, but no EA-18G. Odd, unless this is strictly just Air Force toys then? I know the USAF operates (or used to) a number of Prowlers, but were looking to phase those out in the electronic attack role with some type of new UAV in the future. Of course on the Navy side we went with the Growler (EA-18G), which is a modified Super Hornet that is replacing the Prowler in the USN right now.
