Really Really Really Tall Building

Floor 4394: The floor is covered in boiling water and there are Tea Trees on raised platforms that are constantly dropping leaves into the water. You see some piping that that transports the boiled tea to the Dragon below.

Floor 4402: A single aircraft hangar in the middle of an empty void. It is said to contain the greatest fighter jet in the world, but everyone is arguing what it is. You look over and see a forum user standing in a corner trying to explain why it's the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

Floor 4406: My Kerbalverse's Jeb, flying in my handcrafted, armed, accurate, extremely modded, organic F/A-18E Super Hornet. He challenges the J-35 to a dogfight!

Spoiler

F/A-18E "Echo-1"'s loadout:

  • Vulcan cannon
  • AIM-120 AMRAAM, x4
  • AIM-9 Sidewinder, x6
  • Flares and chaffs
  • Three drop-tanks.

More info on the plane:

  • A single seat cockpit, with modernized "glass cockpit" controls.
  • Twin afterburning jet engines (non-thrust vectoring) capable of taking the jet to supersonic speeds.
  • Highly maneuverable, but not as maneuverable as a, say, F-16 or F-22.
  • Capable of launching and landing off of aircraft carriers.

Floor 4407: The dogfight between the J35 and the F/A-18E Super Hornet.

While the Hornet has much more weaponry, the J35 has highly advanced maneuverability. It pulls a Pugachev Cobra on the Hornet, giving it a chance to fire one of its two experimental missiles at it. 

Spoiler

Joros Subsystems J35 VTOL "Peregrine" stats:

  • 2 Experimental Firebird Missiles
  • VTOL: Dedicated front lift engines, rear swivels down
  • Advanced maneuverability and near-complete control during a stall
  • Extremely short takeoff run non-VTOL. Could liftoff from the VAB helipads, if necessary.

Floor 4408: The live view of the dogfight continues.

The Hornet pulls a high-G turn, causing the missile to lose its lock. By doing this turn, the Hornet lost enough airspeed to end up behind the Peregrine once again. The pilot takes advantage of this and fires its Vulcan cannon.

Floor 4411: The dogfight continues. The Peregrine pulls off a trick labeled in its instruction manual as: "No, Jeb. Just no." It activates its front lift engines, pitching up rapidly and pulling out of the scissors. Tumbling end over end, it shuts off the front engines and uses its main engine gimbal to cancel the rotation. It's now at point-blank range of the Hornet and fires its other Firebird missile right into the Hornet's engines.

Floor 4412: The Hornet is torn in half in a violent explosion by the Firebird missile, forcing the pilot to eject. However, the Peregrine, being so close to the exploding Hornet, is totally shredded by the debris and shrapnel. Somehow, Jeb and Bob were able to bail out in time and meet up on the ground with the Hornet pilot. Both planes were destroyed.

"So... uh... wanna do a rematch?"

Floor 4415: The plane that Bill Kerman designed on Floor 4413 is now put into testing. The plane is being called the K-40 Ocelot. The Ocelot is being put up against an F/A-18E Super Hornet for mock-combat (dogfighting until you get a lock on the other aircraft) trials.

The F/A-18E starts off by taking the offensive, throttling down its engines to get behind the Ocelot.

Floor 4416: The Ocelot throttles down as well, putting it at the same speed as the Hornet. From the stands, (yes, others are watching this) a new group of pilots watches and learns. From the wide berth they are given, it can be assumed they are working on a secret project.
