Reuters: U.S. F-22 stealth jets simulate dogfights with Norway's F-35 warplanes
ORLAND AIR BASE, Norway (Reuters) - Two U.S. F-22 stealth fighter jets squared off in simulated dogfights with two of Norway’s expanding fleet of F-35 aircraft on Wednesday as part of an exercise aimed at strengthening the NATO alliance and increasing its deterrent power.
The two U.S. F-22s are among 13 in Europe for a series of short-term deployments in places such as Greece and Poland, with further training missions planned in undisclosed locations in coming days.

Wnu..if the f35 were on top, they'd be talking. The f35 program and the billions in potential revenue are at stake and the f35 needs any goods press coverage it can get
I wonder how a Sopwith Camel would do against this thing? It has more bullets, turns on a dime, likely fairly radar invisible but for an exhaust pipe and two machine guns.....
Just a [much less costly] thought.
