Didn’t the AAF recently receive some B206’s from some local air force (Italy I think)?
IMHO the AAF might want to thjink first before commiting to any major plan, if they take the F-5’s from Turkey, it will only be for a ten year period. What happens after that? Will Turkey then offer them F-16’s for which pilots are being trained as mentioned?
I think the Chinese deal is more likely, Albainia would be able to afford a small fleet of FC-1’s and K-8’s to replace those remaining Mig-17’s
As for Transports and Helos, China is also in a position to offer better products at cheaper prices (and by better I mean better than what they have in service at the moment). Y-8’s, Y-14’s and Y-12’s could make up a good fleet of transports thrown in with some Z-9’s and Chinese Mi-17’s
Putting it this way the Chinese offer the best deal, the Dutch would offer F-16’s and Fokkers and the Germans would offer Mig-29’s and UH-1’s with some G-160’s with maybe some Do-228’s
