Well….whoever wants them they better hurry up an order them. The production line will be closed in the next couple of years.

Just seems that the CdG’s deck is very small and the S-3s would have a very large “footprint” if operated by her. As for the COD role……Wouldn’t a C-2 be a better option….if the US Navy was willing to part with one. Or maybe new production………if the Brits get a carrier with cats an arrestor gear they could split the buy…..

What type catapults will the French CVF use? C-13s or the new electros?

Funny…it reminds me ALOT of the OH-58……

The last two F-14 Tomcat squadrons are coming home to NAS Oceana today (Mar, 9, 2006) Hope they do a good flyby.

MRH-90 would be a good choice. Hope some fool doesnt sugjest S-92……

My thinking is that if the US is offering them F-18E with AESA, then AMRAAM would pretty much have to be in the mix. Now, just how many A/C 300 sqdn operates at one time is unknown to me, but 10 airframes seem to be about right for one sqdn…….

I never have trusted Norway…..they’re just trying to put us to sleep an then when we arent looking…BAM!!! They invade and take over Rhode Island!
