Re: Argentina to buy 24 Danish F-16

This Argentinian NATO application is another ruse inspired by those allegedly duplicitous Turkish members who are still sore about the Wooden Horse stunt way back!...imo. :whistle: How many other NATO members aside from Turkey have Russian missile systems? :grr: For Argentina, just join NATO & whils...

Super shots in the perfect light of Lossie. Great to see the coloured tail-markings, not quite up to P3 standard yet but it's a start!

Re: Argentina to buy 24 Danish F-16

Also, just read that the delivery of these Argentinian jets is over the next two years, presumably as the Danish don't want /need to divest their Air Force of updated F-16 air-frames before sufficient replacement F-35's are delivered? Assuming by deduction that the older Danish F-16 jets are the one...

Re: Argentina to buy 24 Danish F-16

As it appears some other Countries don't give a s**t about re-arming Nations posing a credible threat against the UK maintained sovereignty over the Falklands, maybe Airbus could supply Argentina with some proper boom equipped KC-30's? Or at least tuck them up with a nice Leasing arrangement. :whist...

Re: FRIAT 2024

RIAT need more 'hardcore' bag-searchers this year. They should be vetted to ensure they understand a credible threat package & ensure they're NOT seeking an LTR?

Re: Lakenheath NOTAM 8/04/2024

In your extensive experience, is this likely to impact the currently reduced movements even further? As the NOTAM doesn't itself restrict flying op's, can we assume it doesn't?

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

But not all the others! Ever since the British Government stuffed the RAF again, leaving them & NATO with a capability shortfall, these NATO E-3's are committed to full-time operational sorties? When they last came it was pre-Covid & pre-Ukraine. Both valid reasons for nothing happening as-advertise...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

From the update: "As we celebrate NATO's 75th Anniversary, we're very pleased to welcome one of their AWACS aircraft to RIAT 2024. The aircraft will be performing a special flypast on Friday" Now, I like to be positive about these things. So my guess is that all the F-16's on the airfield (both of t...

Re: Italian Armed Forces explore missions for AW609

Possibly the single redeeming factor for the magnificent QE. & PoW. aircraft carriers is that some clever dicky designed the Lifts & Hangar Deck aperture dimensions to accommodate a folded MV-22!
Guess the other team were tasked with EMALS & Arrestor Gear? :roll:
