When did 145 Squadron disband or lose the A-4s?

got the F-16D Blk 52+ on 3 Jul 04, full delivery expected by may 2005.

Nice update, although I wonder how you get the assumption that EADS can offer Typhoons to Turkey in less than ten years.

From the existing RAF orders. If I remember correctly, U.K. is willing to let Singapore have its fighters 1st. Same as Rafale. Its a bigger market for spares and support once the planes are purchased and the governments would want their companies to succeed by delaying their own purchases.

Eurofighter officials have been trying since last year to pitch the Typhoon as an interim aircraft before the delivery of JSF. Singapore also evaluated the Typhoon, Rafale and Eagle for its Air Force when its long term goals are getting the JSF, so its possible Turkey might do the same. Turkey will not be the first to get the JSF, so when they are delivered, it might be nearly ten years from now which is a long gap. Eurofighter could fill the gap left by F-4s.
