Yup they were showing off their ground attack mode skills. It could easily out turn the P-51! The only way the enemy could get close enough to dog fight is if we were out of missiles and I'm sure we've got that advantage figured in although at the speeds these fly at closure rates would be incredible...They made it a point to announce that the inboard weapons were for supercruise capability.

You had to see it to believe it, it flew and turned like a cross between a helicopter and a plane. You can see where yer tax dollars are going...It was really strange to see the two of them fyling wing tip to wing tip and they both did some high speed climbs and dives. The P-51 sounded better though and was simply beautiful!
