Talk:Atlas Cheetah

message: I think the other Cheetah article should be merged into this one - this is a far superior article, and is better written. Artagra 23:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and thanks for complimenting the article. To be honest though, there doesn't seem to be much usable information in the other article, so deleting it might be the best approach. — Impi 16:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I also agree. I will be bold and make that page a redirect to this one ... if anybody has a problem with that I will put that article up for deletion. Regards, Elf-friend 08:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge of other article 

message: The article indicates a rate of climb for the Cheetah of 1,484 m/min.  The Mirage III from which it was derived climbs at a rate of nearly 5,000 m/min with essentially the same engine.  I think something is wrong with the number shown. Plaasjaapie 04:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's definitely an error - looks like someone misread feet for metres. Piston engined light aircraft can climb at rates in that range. Roger (talk) 23:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's definitely an error, not sure how that crept in. There aren't many good sources on the Cheetah C readily available, mostly due to the SAAF's continuing secrecy regarding much of the aircraft, which makes obtaining accurate statistics a bit of a hit and miss affair. Do either of you have a reliable source on the Cheetah C's actual rate of climb? Otherwise we might have to leave it blank. — Impi (talk) 11:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only source I have is a small book by Heitmann "Krygstuig van Suid Afrika" (1988) published by Struik  It contains this rather odd statistic "Tyd tot 10 975m - 3 minute" which seems to be reffering to the D model. Roger (talk) 18:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Probable error on rate of climb 

message: Why is that Mid-Life Updated Mirage III, comparable to fighters like the Mirage 2000 or the
F-16?
These are both a generation newer and are truely multi-role fighters. In contrast the Cheetah can be compared to the MiG-21, MiG-23/27 or the F-5 Tiger II, although the F-5 does not reach Mach 2. 92.227.122.25 (talk) 00:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fully agree - text should be deleted or updated to reflect Mig-21/23/27.  Farawayman (talk) 17:01, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mirage 2000 F-16 

message: I have removed the following text:  
:A measure of the capabilities of the Cheetah C is the result of an air-combat maneuvering (ACM) exercise between the Cheetah Cs of 2 Squadron and F-15E Strike Eagles of the 494th Fighter Squadron, United States Air Force at RAF Lakenheath, after which the score tallies for each side were almost exactly equal.
This text has probably been taken from  - and as this is a general discussion forum with the un-sourced contribution having been made by a "Junior Member" this statement cannot be used as a verifiable or respected source.  Naturally, it deserves to be re-instated in the article if properly substantiated / sourced.  Farawayman (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
