    Gerry Anderson's first Sci-Fi live action show which paved the way for the classic Space1999. :D

    The draw back with the Interceptors was they only carried one deep space missile witch delivered hell of a punch.

    The X-Wing would definately beat the Colonial Viper in a "Dog Fight". Also, the Viper can't do the graceful dives like an X-Wing can. :))

    Yes, the X-Wing is clearly technologically superior to a Viper. How about a Viper against a Tie Fighter? I think, this time a Viper has a chance.
    Could a Cylon Raider (from either of the two series) match up with a Tie Fighter?
    Anyway, I'm glad to see a post from you. Merry Christmas!

    Hi Falcon? I am a "fan" as it were of the X-Wing-which in its own way for some reason-always reminds me of a P-51 Mustang. I think your right about the Viper for being more than a match for the Tie Fighter-which appeared to have terrible manouverability. On a match between the Cylon Raider against the Tie Fighter-I think the Cylon warbird would win. I couldn't say anything about the Cylon ship from the new series. I've only watched the first episode and didn't care for what I saw.

    It's great to see you here as well my friend and I am enjoying a nice Christmas with all my Nephews and their significant others-and my Bro-in-Law and Sister. I've also been able to see both of my Great Nieces and my one Great Nephew. Just gotta love all those kids as they are definately in their cutest stages of young life. :))

    I hope your Christmas is your best one yet and wish you the best offerings that 2009 may deal to you. Take care-and I hope to see you here much more often in 2009.

    Best of Holiday tidings to you and keep well. Best regards--Carl.
