the piece talks about a new deck layout. I really do want to find an update picture for this and wondered if any one had any luck.

The chinese will be interested. How long before we see them on board I wonder.

UAE could offer stategic airlift options to nations who want to remove assets from the middle east or want to bring assets there. Airlift for favours could be the name of the game.

Th UK needs to make the decision now and at least get it’s self to 10-12 C-17s before produciton stops.

Even if we do take 25 A400M we really could do with more C17s to spread to work load.

With Germany ordering 60 A400M they are gonna have one hell of a strategic lift capability.

No, the TV documentary showed Rafales with French cocards and that means, obviously, that USAF F-22’s were fighting against French pilots, not against Rafales sold to some small hostile third-world country.
And that means, yes I repeat it, that for the US experts and USAF pilots who took part to this documentary that a war against an European nation is not a totally impossible option for the future.
And in this strategical situation, a European country equipped with F-35 would be basically defenseless.

war against a european nation is not totally impossible? The UK taking back the 13 colonies is not totally impossible either, we should get to work on testing our pilots just in case.

It was a crappy TV documentary that wanted to talk about how great american planes are (they are great btw) and they closed their eyes and stuck a pin in the superb french plane.

Trade stops wars, the EU is the largest trading block in the world and no european nation is a treat now or even in the future.

I love the C-27j, I think it a small buy would be an excellent idea, well not that I know much.

The C – its always been an option to switch to conventional.

If its not the C then we switch to either the F/A-18 or the Rafael

I would say that the F-35 isnt needed by the UK. The only nations that really need it are Spain and Italy. Ultimately every one else could do without.

you wanna try and navalise the F-22 as well?

The F-35 will become another Lockhead sucess story with it being sold all over the world for the next 30 years. 30 years of skilled jobs based for the most part in the US?

The F-22 is a US only plane with no chance of export any time soon.

What employment is brought to the UK in the production of the A400M?

I think that ditching the UK knowledge on VTOL is more than sufficient.

We’re building the lift fan for heavens sake.

Britain should ditch this plane now.

It really is a great looking plane and I can see where it would fit just about.

We potentially had 25 on order at how ever much we were likely to pay for them. Lets order another 8 C-17’s taking our fleet to 15 and bring in new C-130’s for the rest.

I really dont see any sales for the HAL Tejas. Not enough Air Craft for your money. I see lots of sales for the T-50 though which the HAL Tejas will compete with.

Yes it offers slightly less for your money, but I wouldnt hold that against the T-50 – It might end up being the USA Trainer of choice and that would make it interesting to everyone.

For me the most interesting thing is when will the Brazilians get theirs back out to sea and training pilots. It was due to be operational Dec 09 but I havent seen anything.

That’s the time I think we might see Chinese pilots traveling to Brazil to begin training, if some arent there already.
