I dont think anyone has the money to give anymore 🙁
i dont care what any one say’s in future wars will be won by airpower and our moronic government who have ruined the country to line their own pockets are selling ours off
Corrected that for you chap ![]()
🙁
what are the army and navy doing for cuts?
lol no worries dude, i figured it was something like that 😉
the part where you are on about being in the raf and industry etc made me laugh since it says im 21 on my forum profile 😉
it strikes me as being a commercial con?
Is the US still unwilling to provide source codes etc to allow the aircraft to be serviced without the need for the US/Lockheed?
I cant see why, thats why im asking the question…
no I dont mind massively , its a valid post, I was just wondering who it was?
as much as i love you all, who has posted as me on the AvCom Forum?
why is every country in the world after buying this aircraft :confused:
it appears that it has been confirmed on the AvCom website, that Dave Stock did not manage to eject 🙁 if the below is true, what a terrible accident 🙁
quote from AvCom
Anzelle Smit, spokesman for Metro EMS in the Western Cape said after almost two hours of searching the pilot’s body was found. “He was found outside of the plane not too far from the air force base,” said Smit
again if its true, blueskies 🙁
Edit: it appears to be backed up here 🙁
It does seem to be widely reported that the pilot went in with his aircraft 🙁
what could have caused a failure to eject? 🙁
Do we know which aircraft it was yet, I presume it would have been ZU-BEY or ZU-BBD?

Sadly pilot did not make it out from this one. Seems like hydraulics failure on t/o, according to people at the base and involved with air show. Twin stick, but no-one else on board.
Airfield raised net but aircraft did not make it that far. Have not posted pilot name (RIP) out of respect for family, friends and colleagues. No official announcement has yet been made
.
not so sure about that mate, perhaps? i hope not though
They have done a fantastic job getting this far without an accident, considering its service record with the Raf
Can’t find much info yet on the WWW, lets pray/wish/hope for no injuries or fatalities….
god i hope so! 🙁
seem to be mixed reports saying the pilot ejected ok, and then that the pilot didnt 🙁
