    I think that Eurofighter, is going to have to find a basic package, that is attractive to foreign buyers. That is what I think makes the F-16 soo attractive, its has a good record, spares are available, mlu’s are plenty, it has the capability, of the sniper or litening 2 pod, and is reasonably priced. it’s a dog eat dog world, and if they want to gain in the air defense world, they are going to have to be more aggresive in their sales pitch.

    I’m not refering to Austrailian Museums to start selling there military artifacts to foreign interests, I’m merely refering to a example of a what if and that could happen. I don’t condone any Museums selling there iventory for the sake of making money, that includes the Beaufighter. But a govt. can take it away if its on loan, they took the B-36 from us here in Ft. Worth, Texas because we could not build adequate facilities, to house it. CAF had outright ownership of the F-82 and when trying to sell it for a flyable P-38L USAFintervened and renegged on the previous agreement, while the USAF argues, they could have several warbirds, including a P-47, and a F-82 from Lackland Airforce Base, that are rotting out in the weather. I hope one day that they can resolve this.

    it sounds like it was good duty, to be posted there. As an American, my family was stationed on Guam, in the late seventies, that was decent duty there as well.

    hey guys, if you can read the report from the NMUSAF, and the fight with the Commerative AirForce over its F-82 Twin Mustang, CAF wanted to sell it, but the USAF museum interfered, and retook possesion of said aircraft after 40 yrs of being in the CAF collection. If you plan on selling a warbird or such, w/o the approval of your countries respective airforce/govt. you better think twice before doing so.

    I believe the U.S. Forestry Air Service uses a couple of OA-10’s for fire fighting duties? NASA up until recently used a a B-52H in high speed research and development.

    Just wondering if any of our North American members can shed any light on the current condition of the Vulcans in the US and the lonely example in Canada?

    I believe there is one at the 8th Airforce Museum at Barksdale AFB in Louisana
    it has appeared to be sitting outside for along time

    You guys were right, it was called High Flight. If you want some more good aerial film scenes with jets. try the Hunters starring Robert Mitchum. It had some good scenes with F-86’s vs. F-84’s thinly disguised as Migs. It’s out on DVD.

    I know they are old but could they possibly do something with the A-4 Skyhawk, or A-7 Corsair II ?

    Dave, this might be worth trying to find ‘The Royal Air Force Over Texas’ by Tom Killebrew http://web2.unt.edu/untpress/catalog/detail.cfm?ID=198

    And this article is a quick potted history (6 pages).

    I went to the museum, which is in Terrell, Tx not too far from Dallas. Very nice chap. He actually went through the school, but went back to England, too late to see any action. He decided to return to the U.S. after the war, and has been living here ever since. The museum isn’t very big, but he still is very sharp on his memory.
