Re: 2024 Typhoon Display Jet
Spot-on Agent K. The original Eurofighter title was to give a nod to '90' but development overran 8 years or so late, making it closer to 2000 & then they called it Eurofighter 2000 as you say. Germany sought to bail out in 91 (as you stated) & 1995-96 in a spat over reduced Partner orders & Workloa...

Re: 2024 Typhoon Display Jet
Potential Thread Drift Alert.... Italy and Spain don't use the name Typhoon. Despite the fact the Italian aircraft wear that name on their fins, the official designation is still EF2000 as in Germany and Spain. Spanish military uses alphanumeric designations as well. Single seats are designated C.16...

Re: 2024 Typhoon Display Jet
This scheme is very good & a quantum leap from the normal half-arsed sticker jobs occasionally trotted-out of late.....But I'm gonna need more of a hint here! Why on Earth has this jet been nicknamed 'Moggy'? A feline of dubious cross breeding, a slang corruption of the name Maggie, a pet name for M...

Re: Argentina to buy 24 Danish F-16
In your opinion? Did I dream that Pres' Pukin persuaded Ukraine to give all it's nuclear weapons bombers back to Mother Russia in exchange for security assurances from the Russian Federation, the United States and Britain in 1994. Quite possibly those same bombers are now being used against Ukraine ...

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...

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: 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...
