    The previously posted shots of the camouflaged Gabonaise Texans however DO seem to carry a unique Red/yellow emblem which seems similar (if memory serves me correctly) to the Moroccan Presidential Guard (??) as worn on their turbo T-34s. (i’ll try to dig up a reference shot)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Morocco

    Politics of Morocco take place in a framework of a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, whereby the Prime Minister of Morocco is the head of government, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives of Morocco and the Assembly of Councillors. The Moroccan Constitution provides for a monarchy with a Parliament and an independent judiciary.

    If I remember correctly they are still used by Venezuela (will be replaced by Mi-28) Colombia, Morocco, the Phillipines and indonesia. But I’m not too sure about the last two ones. I think their fleet was grounded after some fatal accidents, at least temporarily

    Broncos are no longer operated by the moroccan AF (stored since the begining of the 2000’s)

    What about Israel? A 20.000 tons ship with a dozen F-35 in the Arabian Gulf, for example, to open a second aerial front against them Aravis?

    :confused: (that’s what we can call a suicide)

    I don’t think AirForces Monthly is in any way related to Flight International/flightglobal.com? Or am I wrong?

    I was wrong, sorry πŸ˜‰

    The french only found 27 airframes in a state that woth the upgrade, so the other 13 are perfect for monuments.

    They quoted 40 airframes, that’s all that I see πŸ™‚ and I don’t find anything about 13 “perferct for monuments” airframes πŸ˜‰

    JaneΒ΄s quoted 15 Mirage F-1CH and 14 Mirage F-1EH/EH-200 last year.

    Flight International (Air Force Monthly / flightglobal.com) quoted 40 this week:

    Was the Belgian air component really the last military user of the Magister?? What about Israel, El Salvador, Algeria, Morocco, Togo and Senegal, to name but a few?

    Moroccan Magister’s don’t fly since a few years ago…

    Judging by the pilot’s orange suit, and the “F-5 Upgrade” on the nose, it’s probably an F-5 that was flown by the IAI. As it was taken in the last few years, it can’t be Tigre III. That has to be some kind of an F-5 upgrade we didn’t know about.
    Also, that’s not an Israeli scheme. As a matter of fact, as interesting as it sounds, I’m pretty sure that’s a Jordanian Tiger, as seen in these pictures from this (http://homepage.eircom.net/~steven/jordan_air_force.htm) website.

    That one is moroccan…

    Under israeli colours…

    How many F-7s are supposed to be in Namibia? … … I believed they had 14 total including two 2-seaters. However, those numbers suggests here is a 0315 and I believe I can see a 0319 behind 0313. Any idea how many they actually have?

    According to Futura-dtp.dk: 8 to 10 F-7 (including 2 two-seaters) + 3 Mig-21

    C-130J for Moroccan AF?

    On the “Marrakesh Aero-Expo” website I found that picture showing a “moroccan C-130J-30 miniature”… Are they goin’ to get some C-130J to replace old C-130H… soon? (I hope…!) :rolleyes:
