  1. If you feel anything I have stated is incorrect than please state what that is with evidence to support it - because I can back up everything I have just stated.
  2. That's not entirely true - although the A-4Kahu was a superb budget fighter for that era The A-4Kahu is a conventional aircraft with a standard control system - The added MIL-STD-1553 in the A-4 would have only been putting in a bus to allow it to fire the AGM-65 and AIM-9L etc - this is not the same as the F-16A B10 where it was also integrated as part of a highly responsive FBW system and an unstable airframe. For wiki to say it has the eyes and ears of an F-16A B10 is also incorrect - in a merge you need to be able to see the other person so a raised bubble canopy is essential - and that person also probably didnt take the antenna size of the radar into account. The F-16 was actually designed to sustain 9Gs and in 1978 was the only production jet on the planet that could do this. this btw is not the same as withstanding 9Gs for a second or so (like Red Bull racing Aircraft do) Obviously no point talking about energy when it comes to the A-4 - anyway there are videos of the A-4K with an F-16 in the HUD - the same as there are Eurofighters getting blasted by F-16AMs - all this means is that if you put a **** pilot in a top line jet even an A-10 has a chance in a merge.
  3. The A-4K had a designated version of the APG-66NZ modified for maritime use it states on several sites - the A-4AR also has a version (incorrectly given as the APG-66v2) Looking at its location the antenna dish seems to be a lot smaller A-4K F-16B A-4AR And yes today the F-16AM (MLU) uses a modified APG-66v2 which gives it similar capability to the APG-68v5 (F-16CM and B50/52+ use the superior APG-68v9) - so the A-4 version could maybe be upgraded but would have radar range limitations.

  15. A man targeted by marketing companies is making money from cold calls with his own premium-rate phone number. In November 2011 Lee Beaumont paid £10 plus VAT to set up his personal 0871 line - so to call him now costs 10p, from which he receives 7p. The Leeds businessman told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme that the premium line had so far made £300. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23869462
