Sea Fury would be up there…….UK..Austrailia…..Netherlands……..or Sea Hawk…UK..India…Netherlands. Sea Venom….UK…Austrailia…France..
I guess I’m trying to find out the combat aircraft from say ww2 to now that was used by more navies off carriers. No helos.
Cant wait to see the -8!
One of the stated reasons for the program was that officers are on a certain “carreer” path to command rank…….Warrants are not.
It seems that IF there are hostilities against Iran, the world will pretty much be united against the Iranians.
I know….I know………but I hate that A/C! I fear alot of good people are gonna die cause of it.
I agree……….the 767 makes very good sense. Its already in production, pretty much developed and is a tremendous improvement over the KC-135.
NH-90, EH-101, or S-92….ANYTHING would be better for the Marines than the V-22 “Deathtrap”!
I’m gonna miss the F-14! Grew up around NAS Oceana (only a mile from there now) I well remember when the A-6 was in residence here. Seeing a squadron of Tomcats fly over at the end of a deployment is something to see. They will be missed!
Isnt Canada buying the S-92 for ASW?
Sounds expensive……..
Now if the USMC will get its head out its a** and order a bunch of Merlins……..
No. It won’t ever be built. Russia dont have the money.
So what is the RAF down to now…..12 fast jet squadrons? How can they possibly come back from that? I have the feeling that the RAF is gonna end up as a Typhoon only force………
IMHO the USAF is gonna go with the 767…..probably. The only other 2 A/C I can see would be the 787 (which has the advantage? of being a ways off, so descission time is in the 2010-15 time frame ) or the A330…..and I really cant see Congress going along with that no matter how good a plane it is. There will probably also be a small number of MC-130J Combat Talon IIs………
