I have no problem with people flying the MiG-29 as it is a great aircraft, but there is something that bugs me about it in this RP.The thing that is bothering me about the MiG-29 is that a lot of the characters flying it in this RP just don't make sense to me. Let's take a look at all the submitted characters, their nationalities and chosen planes;-Ariella Yosef makes perfect sense, as she is in the IAF and the Kfir is Iraeli.-Vlad makes sense, as he is a Russian and the MiG-29 is a Soviet/Russian plane and he would thus have the possibility of training in it.-Mathew Tailor makes sense in a way, as he flew with the RAF for a period of time.-While I am a huge fan of the Balalaika, a French Canadian/Swiss pilot flying it doesn't make much sense in my eyes, as neither of those nations fly the MiG-21 and if he flew a F-16 and a Harrier, both western, more modern designs, why would he be suddenly downgraded to a Fishbed?-The Tessaros could potentially make sense as the F-111 is a western design and they're Italian and in the end Italy doesn't have many 3rd or 4th generation aircraft they've flown for the longest time with the UNF, so I let it slide in my mind.-My own character, Nathan Attar, does have a correct aircraft for his nationality, as the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) has flown the plane for many years and a modified plane wouldn't be out of the question if he deserted.-Rose flying a Harrier and is a Brit, so nothing to say there.-Indonesia flies a few F-5's, so the F-20 wouldn't be out of the question at all.-Now here's where I am primarily quite bothered, and I mean no offense to RPC at all, but why would two USAF pilots fly the MiG-29? It just doesn't have any background regarding why American pilots would be flying an ex-Soviet plane either.-I was initially going to complain about Ohira, but then I read the bio and it is explained why she flies the MiG-25, so I'm pretty much fine with it.-Everett has apparently flown with other MiG-29 pilots so it seems alright, and Slovakia flies the MiG-29, so all is good there.It's for these reasons why I think there should definitely be the F-16 as an option, particularly for those who's origins would go better with it. We have the MiG-29 and the F-14 as options and the F-16 was produced in huge amounts so I think it would be alright if we had the plane.And to add to this, it's practically the same problem you mentioned here, Silver;And instead of F-22's and Flankers, we have a bunch of MiG's and reluctant pilots of anything else...Just my two cents though.

The reason is is because those out of all of them seemed to fit my rp style. i could have gone with the tomcats but i kinda liked the look of the MiG's and after heavenfall i am sure the air force is getting any type of aircraft they can to use Personally i would have chosen soemthing diffrent but with the choices given those seemed the best fit for me. sorry if it rustles your feathers at all was not my intention.
