Re: F-15 QA Crash Landing.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but received this month's AFM magazine* today including a fine short article on the Qatari F-15QA (p.24). Deliveries were mentioned via the UK (Mildenhall) and were well reported on the relevant FC thread. The article correctly states 36 a/c on order but from...

Do we have any idea how long the A-4s will be hanging around? I’m hoping they might still be here in the first week of December.
The A-4 was due to fly today with the Alphas but it went tech just before the Alphas launched
