Draken Europe has announced its intention to base L-159s at Teesside Airport alongside the Falcon 20s. Obviously these are all ex-Czech Air Force and will presumably be used on UK defence contracts.
Some details here: https://drakeneurope.aero/jobs under L-159 Captain.
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Details of the 3-year interim competition are at the link below. Hopefully the UK's NGOT programme will deliver something more threat representative for 2025/26 onwards!

Saw a good few of these last week, some interesting schemes amongst them.
