| Kinda like Harriers, A.K.A "La Muerte Negra" (The Black Death) in the Falklands, due to their overall darkgrey camoflage. | |

Country: | I think the killer there in the Falklands was the Super Etendard (correct me if I am wrong). Wasn't one of those that almost took out a British Carrier?

Country: | Harriers make great dogfighters, using their nozzles to change their flight path in a way that no other fighter can counter....
Ive read some after action reports from these guys and they can basically engage and disengage at will....

Country:  | it was a widely used and greatly feared manover the harrier pilots used in the falklands, if they got a "bogie" on their tail, simply turn the nozzels so you can go instantly from wing-born forward flight to jet born flight, then when the "bogie's" flown past you, simply go back to forward flight and you should be on his tale, FA.IIs shot down 24 aircraft over the falklands....................
