] Does anyone have sources on what Japan plans to do in order to restart it’s training program for F-2s?

One or two days after the earthquake + tsunami, the F-2 student pilots already went from Matsushima to other air bases with F-2Bs.

Presuming this cemetery is in USA, maybe (just guessing) he was a former ROCAF member who retired and emigrated to USA?
Anyway.

MBDA Germany prepares the way for C-RAM laser weapon system

The ability to direct 10 kW laser power over a long distance and reach a target with a high quality beam is a decisive forward step.
MBDA Germany has conducted several successful tests with its laser demonstrator.
This is evidence of major progress in terms of achieving a C-RAM (Counter Rocket, Artillery, Mortar) laser weapon system.
The results also confirm MBDA Germany’s leading position in Europe in this domain.

To quote an ancient Chinese proverb, “Different strokes for different folks.”

I’ve an on-line friend in Taiwan who takes photos of ROCAF deceased pilots’ gravestones, and they are… a resource for military aviation history research.

You may have noted from my other threads in this forum, the results of said military aviation history research.

15 September 2011:
GUO Hai Wei, the chief of political warfare, 401st Composite Wing, ROCAF, claimed the accident F-5s didn’t have flight data recorders, so the investigation would focus on radar record, radio chatter record, and on-site wreckage.

Also, reportedly, the accident F-5s didn’t have GPS or NVGs either.

(What the [beep] is going on with the ROCAF?
Or is this because the ROC Presidential election year?)

] Thanks for the info Don.

No problemo, dude.

Sigh. That’s the one with the high-vis red sun on its tail fin, not the low-vis black sun on the rest of the fleet.

BTW, noted your blog has a photo gallery. Maybe you can contribute to my off-and-on quest for “Republic of Korea Air Force KF-16 missing photographs” at F-16.net?
