I also read that the US airforce have stated anyone attempting to force their way into the base will be met with force.

I wonder if the typhoons in the Falklands are geared up for surface warfare

Have some French rafales just turned up

Once again 2 posts about the type. I am pretty sure everybody else knows what they are but the point is you have 2 operational aircraft rather than trying to put out of service aircraft back in the air.i hope the P C brigade are ok with this

Another option is wait as next year the 2 md-11's of the Netherlands airforce will be withdrawn from service.

I have been watching a video of a c-17 landing on a dirt strip in less than 3500ft and then take off within 500m.is duxford runway big enough for it to do the same. It would be a great edition to a airshow.

If the US did I really would like to see the c-17 thrown round. I see it back at mildenhall and was impressed with how much it can move.

Right this is just a idea. Recently the red air contract was cancelled and I was thinking of a alternative. In a few years time we are supposed to be retiring the sentinel aircraft and at the same time South Korea are looking into purchasing a similar machine. How about both governments doing a swap...

You need to remember the original plan was for typhoon to replace the phantom and jaguar not the tornado

Right this is only a what if exercise but before they where retired just how capable could the f-3 have been made. Could ej200 or f414 engines fit. Agile beam radar. And a weapons fit of 6 medium range missiles and 2 ashram.

Yes it does

I wonder if Israel buy these to replace their aircraft

Whatever it was was travelling extremely fast.

Just wondering if there was a QRA scramble today as there was a extremely loud noise over Cambridge about 2pm. It was definitely a fighter

These 2 aircraft where definitely smaller.

Does anyone know what went into possibly mildenhall Sunday night around 6.30. I witnessed 2 aircraft passing Cambridge heading towards the base

The f-15e demo was at riat in 2007 and duxford 2011

Wasn't there a series on years ago about the RAF in Canada at cold lake. I am sure it was called top guns. I have been trying to find copies of this but can't find it anywhere

If production was restarted would you build the same. Or look to building a improved version. If the later what would people want.

I was reading a article that suggests the USAF are considering restarting production of more C-17's. Do people think this is a good idea.
