Where do you find those pics ALBERT ROSS!!!! Thanks you very very much! 😀 😉

Some more pics

F-1 and F-5 are two planes which will never stop looking sexy even 100 years from now!

You said it brother!! 😎

I would like to see the FC-1 with the SD-10 in RMAF service!!
The 2 Cap-10s are of the Equip Voltige team ( disbanned I thought ). And weird that they were supported by a Do-28 ( also used for MPA ).

The las pic ( Mirage F-1CH ) serialled 127 was the 2nd jet out of the first batch of 30 delivered to Morocco ( Morocco also used FrAF F-1 cuz Dassault could not deliver the RMAF F-1s fast enought ). Serialled 126 to 155 and delivered between February 1978 and December 1979.

Now that Algeria has bought advanced jets I think that Morocco is going to follow their move and buy advanced jets in the near future ( hopefully very near ). I do see M2000-5 as the most likely jet to be purchased, but China is also doing a great job and FC-1 for the F-5 and J-10 for the F-1 would be nice!!

Well the Gripen is a great low cost jet but Sweden is somewhat against Morocco’s W. Sahara policy so we won’t get them. The F-16 would be great too but only if we got the block 40s and higher.

Morocco has shown interest in the Mirage 2000-5 and when funds become available I think we’ll buy them.

The relations with Russia are good, Morocco bought the T-72 and ordered the Tangusha ( or something like that ) but unfortunantly they had to cancel it.

Morocco has or is going to order 48 K-8s and the army is in discussion over the possible purchase of tanks.
