USAF operated types not exported
USAF operated types not exported
Having a conversation with dad and we noted the A-10 was never exported to other countries. That led to going back to see what other fast-jet/fighter types we could think of!
F-22
A-10
F-117
F-105
F-89
We couldn't think of any others going all the way back to WWII - any additions welcome!

Re: USAF operated types not exported
We thought the 106,but dismissed it as thought Greece had it,after the F102,
You are correct only operated by US forces
Thanks

Re: USAF operated types not exported
Fast jet but not fighter?......SR-71
Re: USAF operated types not exported
I know it’s not a fast jet but.
AC130
Provides close air support just like an A10
What about the U2 ?
I know they were flown by ‘foreigners’ but I don’t think they were ever sold to other countries. Just flown under different flags.
And
Aren’t all these planes exported ? Otherwise they could only fight wars on the US mainland, I’m sure at least some of them went overseas :-)

No, exported means sending to another country for sale.

Re: USAF operated types not exported
Whilst you are correct the AC130 has not been sold elsewhere, the C130 has so would come under that as the main type rather than a sub type, plus as said in the original piece Fast Jets is what we were discussing at the timeBluetail wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 7:16 amU2 was sold to and operated by Taiwangyvespa wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 6:38 amI know it’s not a fast jet but.

Re: USAF operated types not exported
These are USAF types.
How about USN types like F3D F4D F11F F3H? Anymore? Or separate threat?
And A-3 and A-5

Re: USAF operated types not exported
To add to the non-fighter list:
B-47 (notwithstanding a one-off loan to Canada; airborne testbed for the 'Arrow' engine.)

Re: USAF operated types not exported
Yes missed that even though in our discussion yesterday we spoke about it, and of course the B-36 which was both jet and propSeahornet1 wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 8:39 amTo add to the non-fighter list:
