16 kills. A hero? Maybe in America. In the Luftwaffe he would be allowed to lead a formation of two planes. The real aces started with 100 kills, the normal ones with 20.

 

BTW it is a screenshot thread here, not a photo picture thread.

Btw, this is modern era, jets, rockets, sam's, etc, it's not to compare.

You simply a cannot make a comparison between the nature of air combat during the cold war and the Luftwaffe seal clubbing their way around Europe in the early 1940's... Nor can you make a comparison between he careers of those who served tours of a set duration and those whom through circumstance were forced to fight for the duration.

I have the utmost admiration for the RAF and the USAAC pilots of the Second World War, as I do the RAF & RN Harrier jocks that took back the Falklands.  But there is no apples to apples comparison.  

I would argue a bit of an apples to apples comparison between your Sea Harrier jocks and 2020's F-15Js & Su-27s mixing it up... Same general principles, just different politics and bigger, more capable jets:

Rafales in 2018, on a runway denial mission over the Timor terrain in inclement weather. There were a pair of Australian F-111's, a flight of F-15c's, a flight of F-16's, and some RAAF F-18's all flying in the same area on different taskings. I still have no idea of who nuked the base in the distance as I was going by.

Oh and then there's this I saw back in 2013 at NAS Whidbey when touring the base:
