    Saudi will probably not acquire Chinese or Russian aircraft. Simply not prestigeous for them. It may be ok if they are buying APCs or small arms but aircraft are just so visible.

    I think the remaining RAF ADVs will all end up as scrap just like the ex-AMI rent planes. The RAF very seldom give anything away.

    Its hard to believe Tornado decommisioning is already well underway like it was only yesterday they entered service. And of course there are also those ex-AMI ADVs scrapped recently.

    Did the fighter concept F-4X really featured water humps and a one piece windscreen ?

    Why not just upgrade the Fishbed into Bisons, much cheaper and not a bad aircraft for Croatia.

    Can a F-4E be made carrier capable by just fitting the cat tie down points or the landing gear need to be restrenghtened ?

    Would it take up too much space because of the long nose ?
    How bout a nose gear tow bar catapult system ?

    Looks like a collection of favourite aircraft or are you just being sarcastic :diablo:

    You even singled out the F-4C! How is that any different from the B, D, J, K, M, N, and S types

    Harrier GR.1 ugly ? I thought the GR.3 with the LMTS nose is even uglier. AV-8A was just so clean.

    Agree on the Hawk 200 and J29 though.

    How could anyone say the F-8 is ugly ? 🙁 She is simply so gorgeous.

    1. F/A-18E/F – so much lumps and bumps and that silly rhino horn to steal my F-4’s glory

    At least with the F-105 you only need to service one engine.

    I would love to see an operational Flatpack!! If this was 80s it would have been deployed.
    What’s the official Mig designation again ?

    I heard some of the forumers mentioning the production version will feature different intakes and that plasma “glow in the dark” stealth device.

    So the Su-35s hardly fly after being transferred to the Knights ?

    How does a RK Su-35 cockpit look like ?Anything like the one in the airshow almost a decade ago ?
