I thought that had to be one of the worst episodes. All the ing drama, and to top it off. In the gun fight, after security guard takes a couple rounds from an automatic rilfe (courtesy of CTU agent, who cleared guns away from the downed body, but somehow forgot one that was right next to his hand) proceeds to get enough muscle to pickup the gun and shoot Paul.
ing ghey episode. |

It would have been more realistic to have an AF-1 escort fighter replaced with the terrorist. They've been flying for 20 or so hours, he takes off in a F-16 and joins the group replacing one of the current escorts. Instead, they have some stealth fighter in the air, all by itself, ARMED and for what purpose? Yah that happens everday. Need we go into details about how the F-117 Stealth is not an air-to-air combat jet, it's not agile, nor fast, and best part is, it doesn't have RADAR!
At any rate, still entertaining to watch, can't wait for next week. |

you and your realism can go eat donkey ass.
(isnt that plane a stealth fighter, and would likely have air to air capabilities, not a stealth bomber?)
I dont know, thats why it made sense to me. I dont know what the next move is going to be, but I think jack needs some Heroin. |

he Nighthawk is classified as a fighter (the "F-" designation), but it was designed primarily as a ground attack aircraft. A few websites claim that the F-117 can carry Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, but this seems contrary to the rest of the plane's design and reported missions. This is comparable to the earlier F-111, which, despite its F designation, was primarily a tactical bomber/interdictor....
The USAF maintains that F-117 can carry every weapon in the inventory, including air-to-air missiles. That may be technically true, but the F-117 is neither designed nor suitable for air combat, lacking adequate maneuverability, speed, and sensors for that role. It could carry infrared missiles like AIM-9 Sidewinder for self-defense, but since that would cut its offensive load in half, it's hardly practical. Since the F-117 lacks radar (and indeed, could not easily carry it without compromising its stealth capabilities), it cannot act as an interceptor in the beyond visual range role, where its low observability might be useful.
Some people speculate that the F-117 could be used to sneak up on AWACS or other large electronic warfare aircraft and shoot them down. This seems impractical since many aircraft within the 18 km engagement envelope of the AIM-9 missile could detect the F-117, especially an AWACS-type aircraft with its powerful, 360 degree sensing radar. An AWACS-type aircraft in a combat zone would usually have a fighter escort anyway. The F-117 would not be able to deal with fighters because it cannot turn at more than 5 g (49 m/sē) and is usually regulated to less than that. That, plus the lack of a cannon, would make the Nighthawk an easy target in a dogfight. The Nighthawk's black paint (which may be changed to a two-tone gray camouflage pattern in the future), easily reconizable shape, lack of supersonic speed, and lack of manuverability would make the aircraft a sitting duck for enemy fighters and surface defenses during the day. As a matter of necessity, all F-117 combat operations are performed at night.

How do you track and fire a missle at AirForce one, if you don't have RADAR to begin with? |
