    Hi John
    What is the fighter that you have encountered in combat trainig which is the most maneuvrable?

    How does that fit with my personal sight of a couple of A 10's (I had to leave my actual worksite to check the distinctive and steady sound of two(slow) tankbusters!), beeing intercepted by RDAF F-16's:
    I mentions the slow A 10's turning each way as on a merry-go round, while the F 16's was left hard cornering out of sight from my place, meanwhile the A-10's found each other and their common flightpath again long inside my sight (probably awaiting for the next identical incident to come!)
    Though my sight only tells of the "dogfight-alike contact" the planes in between, and not of the reaction the "in live to be fired" missiles, but since the Question was asked for most manouverability I hereby sends the A 10 into the ring for competing!

    The above, as well as my first, experience of the A-10 in very low flight over the "Finderup military training area", again followed by their incredible sound, is what have made them to one of my biggest favourites today!
