    I really wish that the Americans would use English words as just what they mena over hear instead of changing the meaning. eg. Pants = Trousers and Authorisation.

    Filton is situated between the M32, M4 and M5 and the main line from London Paddington to South Wales via the Severn Tunnel passes within a few hundred yards of the airfield perimeter.

    So yes. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Sorry GA I meant a Severnside Airport ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Could it get passengers from further afield with such good transport links?

    FalconDude, Swerve comes across to me as English in the way in which he presents an argument and also he states he is from Reading (YUK – I’m from Swindon :P)

    The program didn’t really talk about it’s American history but more so it’s Service than design ๐Ÿ™‚

    An A330 based MPA could be an option?

    Way way to big….

    Look at the size of current MPA’s and you will see what I mean. IIRC is the P-1 and the size of A330 is much bigger….

    Ok Here goes xD:
    1. I would look at buying the 68 UAE M2000’s for the short term and retire the Mig-23’s for these. After this look at replacing with 20 Rafale and 20 F-35

    2. I would look at retiring the F-5/Su-24 and replace them with 90-100 Rafale (and this is coming from a Tiffie fanboy xD)

    3. Personally I would order about 40-50 F-35A for deep strike missions, replacing the F-1’s

    4. I would keep the Hawk’s as is a great aircraft and would order another 20, contact MBDA about Spear 3 intergration.

    5. I really do think that AEW is needed so would want about 6 R-99 and would add 5/6 P-99 as a MPA.

    6. If the UK does decided to retire it’s Sentinel R.1 I would look at purchasing these.

    7. Retire the C-160 and add C-27J 1 for 1

    8. Look at adding 10 A400M/KC-390 in about 2020

    9. Look at some land based ASTER systems

    10. Make sure more AAR assets are purchased, probably 3/4 A330MRTT

    Also I know this may be expensive but as I wasn’t given a budget I made a similar sized air force with better capabilities

    No, it shouldnยดt, considering its investment and development aims. Yes, including Brazil would be nice, although its interest would critically depend on what future aircraft Brazil could/would intend to deploy of any future carrier.

    Really?

    CVF Can be configured for CATOBAR, STOBAR and STOVL
