    The 737NG burns less fuel as the A320? Dont think so..

    The 747 get old (after 30 good years no wonder) and there a new aircrafts who came in the market of a 747 (777/A340/A380). Maybe with a 747 with new wing and some technologies from the 7E7 we see 200 new ones but after many years the 747 slow go out of service

    European Army is real. This are Troops from Countries of the EU. They are in Mazedonia and get the command of the Bosnia very soon. They want the command of the KFOR too. And there is the EU Rapid Force (60 000)

    A real european army (where no nationals armys left) maybe in middle Future. I hope it

    FOAS are yet only ideas, and yes one is with F-35

    The Gripen is not bad. A good system to link with other planes, low RCS, many A2A and A2G weapons, it can operate from the road. many modern electronic stuff, cheap and it will get soon the Ej-200. The Proplem is Sweden is not big, but with BAE Saab have good partner.

    My Mistake I meant the CH-53G and GS. NH 90 will replace Bell UH-1D.
    I don´t think Germany will buy more than the 180 Eurofighters.
    But in about 10-15 years you have to think of an Tornado replacement (RECCE and ECR, maybe some Fighter Bombers, aswell because I don´t think of the Eurofighter as a good fighter bomber, but it is an excellent fighter)
    I agree that the red/green goverment won´t buy any JSFs or F-18s but wait after 2006.

    The JSF maybe but 1. he must fly and 2. he must show what he can. I dont think he is a better cas-plane as the Eurofighter

    I dont think the F-18 E/F/G get a chance.

    Why not the Grippen? A cheap, modern STOL-Plane.

    But i think still it will be FOAS

    To start off..does Germany even need so many forces?

    Same question: Why does France or Britian need so many forces?

    Not right

    The HTH is a replacement for the Ch-53GS. It will be a realy heavy helicopter. The NH90 who enter service this year is a verry good middle class helicopter

    I dont think german will buy JSFs or F-18E/F/G. Maybe more Typhoons or FOAS. But in 10 or 20 years, the tornados are not so old

    The Germans have there Eurofighters and this is good so

    The Tornados ECR will have long life, they are today good enough

    The A400 is something between a C-130 and a C-17. He is big enough and a good replacement for the Transall. Ok he cant carry a MBT but this would to expensive.

    Why the Alpha Jet? He is old

    They dont need (yet) A330MRTT, they have A310MRTT

    The Tiger can fitt with a 12mm gun turret. Maybe they dont buy it with a gun because it would to expensive ands its easier to buy them later

    The NH90 is a very good helicopter and i hope Eurocopter will build the HTH

    How on earth do you know this?

    The a380 is just as likely to be crammed with seats as any other. You do not have the right, nor the facts to say it will provide a better experience.

    A) heck, its not even in service yet!
    B) Aircraft interiors are purely the responsibility of the airline.

    A little bid angry today?
    Sure the A380 fly not yet but you can expect it
