  1. The A-4 was used by the US NAvy to simulate the Mig-17 and it didnt do a bad job of simulating the Mig-17. Must admit in WOV I generally use A-4E and bag Mig's. In real life the A-4 has taken out a few Aircraft mostly Mig-17's :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-4_Skyhawk The Israeli's bagged another Mig as well but I dont have the data to hand on that one. Up until the F-16 its possibly the best US knife fighter apart from a lack of thrust and Radar guided missiles its a tough little bird as well... and you can do most missions in one.
  2. Question about speed?

    Mach 1 is as follows 1,116.4 ft/s 340.29 m/s 761.18 mph 1,224.74 km/h 661.32 knots give or take a few all the above are at Sea Level and at 15 degrees C. But the higher you go the slower it gets depending on height.

Unfortunately though we arent allowed to do this... but...
