Was it just me who thought the Americans sounded very unprofessional? I'm not doubting their ability but that is how it seemed to me.

Kinda agree about the language the pilots were using - I remember seeing a comparison video done after the 1st Gulf War where, on destruction of some Iraqi emplacement or armour, the british pilots calmly stated:

"Target Destroyed - returning to base" and that was that.

Cut to american A-10 - "Take that Saddam!", "Yeeha!" etc

I'm not saying its wrong - it's just that they are different armed forces with different motivational techniques and attitudes.

weird huh?

Its a military term.

I you want to dogfight with another plane you sneak into the hangar at night and write 'I OWNZ U, LOLLLERCOPTER' all over their cockpit in white paint.

F-14s have a ~100 mile missile range, and their radar can track the target with a signal too weak for the enemy RWR to detect.

Except the warhead is made out of gunpowder, so will often cause no damage at all.
