    We shouldn’t be paying to send them back to their own country, we should be sending them back to the last country they traveled through to get here – usually France.

    Well, the story varies depending on the source. Some say he was a consultant during the A10 program, while some sources state that the his book was studied during the design phase.

    I understand that Rudel was asked for input on the A10, were any Sturmovik aces involved?

    It’s not British, it saw service through much of the war, it isn’t a fighter, was twin engined and prop driven.

    I’ll give you a clue – it’s layout was fairly unconventional.

    Oh dear! I await innumerable responses from the F-35 lobby claiming that Gripen E would be completely outclassed by F-35 in A2A.

    I suppose both have their respective strengths. I would have personally liked the RAF to operate a mixed fleet of Typhoon, Gripen and F35, as the Typhoon and F35 are overkill for many scenarios.

    The B17 fuselage looks dinky compared to the Stirling 😀

    And I suspect you would find that if a B29 were parked next to a Stirling, the Stirling wouldn’t look small 😀 (assuming the Stirlings undercarriage hadn’t collapsed 😀 )

    Congratulations Saab and Brazil 🙂

    Gripen is a fantastic little jet, I bet BAe are kicking themselves for offloading their shares!

    And a devastating blow to Dassault, many will be surprised Rafale lost.

    tanker is not some thing you want to put a lot of capital expenditure.

    On the contrary, the tanker force is a primary component of a nations ability to project force, unless you discount pretty much every major conflict since the Falklands war.
