Indeed, moving away from India (Not Indiana as Buger said) Argentina are in the market for a new a/c carrier, they are looking at something similar to the Garibaldi but built in their own dockyards, they may buy two from latest sources.

Question is, what would they put on them? They can’t buy Harriers because the US won’t allow them to be sold down there and Rafaels can’t opperate of the decks of a small carrier like that. Skyhawks are about ready to give up the ghost (MdB’s ones were bought for a projected 10 year service life).

Small carrier aircraft are in very short supply now-a-days. I was talking with Primer a little while ago and we were talking about the AMX being used on a carrier and it turns out that Embraer wanted to build them but the R’n’D was going to cost too much and Italy wasn’t interested. Though still a realitivly new a/c I think it would make a lovely plane for carrier use, that and the Tejas are about the same size as an A-4 and weigh in at just a little over the skyhawks load out for take off.

Hmmm they really liked those twin tails didn’t they?

The F401F-0 in the first lot of pics and the F401F-S in the Comparison pic are a distant echo of Stealth tech implying that the design of the YF-23 may have had a begining way ack in the LWF program, and why not it was a huge success.

If re evaulated today, I think the they may actually have a chance of success. Same goes with some of the Gripen designs especially the one with the Intake behind the canopy at the base of the tail.

Mate those are good, could you do a walk around detail pics of the F-4G, the D-21 and the AIM-4G?

I’m interested in those ones, if not well thanks anyway.

Sadly guys I didn’t do them, Sean I don’t have anytime at all. They were done by a friend of mine who emailed them to me. I’ll ask them and find out what’s next.Can’t believe Art liked them, Well on a day where you catch Sadman Insane, anything can happen, including Art giving compliments 😉

Thanks anyway.

Well it’s easy to forget that All these planes in the sky only clog up the line for the most important person of the year, and he’s been flying around our skies for more than 100 years, and he’s still got the best stealth technology!

Posted with respect to all faiths.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

I’ve got a few since I used to work in the industry and have just started back in it.

On hand I have

Nokia 5110
Nokia 2110
Nokia 3810
Ericsson T-20
And Seimens M 35

Out of them all the M 345 is the best. I’m looking at buying either a new Motorola or a new Seiemns as those are the most reliable on the market. In my shop we haven’t gotten any of those back fro repairs yet, where as the Nokia’s come back two days after they leave the shop with Programing errors and the S/E’s have trouble with their technology interface.

The worst thing they did was make phones with interchangeable parts, so many problems and all for now reason.
