Austrian Air Force – central European power house! :p

One of the great ironies of the end of the Cold War was that the tiny Austrian Air Force got promoted to a potent force by regional standards thanks to the general disarmament of it’s Eastern European neighbours and the fact that most of it’s aircraft are actually serviceable with good training standards.

Current fleet:

15 x Eurofighter

28 x Saab 105
13 x PC-7

3 x C-130K (ex RAF)
8 X PC-6B

22 x AB212
24 X Alouette III
11 x OH-58
9 x S-70 Blackhawk

As one can see though, other than the Eurofighters, Blackhawks and refurbed C-130s, most of the fleet is quite ancient.
