I want to say something snarky about the A-10, and Mike, and about how Mike's a hack, but I don't want him to forward slip a Mk. 84 into my house
But for the purposes of the discussion at hand. I know that slips are possible, but not very practical in any normal circumstance in a swept wing transport category jet.
I will throw in one last thing since we're talking wing sweep. I don't know if it was the F-117s shape, it's permanent 67 degree wing sweep, or a combo of both; but it did not like being slipped in any way, or on any day. It sould start a bucking like a bronco and thats as far as I've ever seen or taken it.
