Yep, launch and leave works. As much as my heart is with John Boyd and the Fighter Mafia, most all air combat now is BVR. I am not sure that speed and maneuverability will ever be a thing of the past though.

Well, when you can saunter at 28,000 feet, and lock on to your targets 80 miles out, while being invisible to radar . . . no one can hear you anyways.

When the F-35s fly over me in Florida I always wonder how they can be so Stealthy.
