PAKISTAN AIR FORCE F-5’s

[ATTACH]210408[/ATTACH]

in 2007, it seemed impossible to find photo’s of such F-5’s …!

and indeed, I could find only this (bad) painting !

from ;http://www.pafmuseum.com.pk/historic-events/1971-war/F-5-Arrives-in-Pakistan.htm
(and, if I remember well … they were used in fact AFTER that war … )

maybe YOU have better views ? …

translated by Google -from Dutch ;

article in “luchtvaartnieuws.nl” :

Successful landing on Chinese aircraft carrier demands life ‘

BEIJING – The first successful landing of a jet on the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning life seems to have required a high official. He died of a heart attack, possibly from excitement. Luo Yang was responsible for the development of the Shenyang J-15.

R.I.P….

IDF’s IRON DOME

see more about that incredible “shield” ;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome (updated today, of course !)
& also § 7.5 : Pillar of Defense …

the system seems fantastic… theorically..!
but in the war context & stress 🙁 (certainly not easy to use )

let’s hope “the best” will win…’as usual’ (I’m sure so 🙂 )

Chinese gliders ?

Hello, Dear Readers,

it’s my first ‘step’ in your ‘Chinese pages’, & don’t know thus the contents of
the previous 30 pages of this thread , nor of the former 14 ones..

Being also a fan of military gliders worldwide (mainly of ‘Air Cadets’), I search some info & pics of Chinese ones,
(PLAAF or other organizations..)

After ‘googeling’ many times, I’ve found really few; some museum views of a Jiefang-9, and this -bad- view of a Jaskolka
(from scalesoaring.co.uk) ;

[ATTACH]208864[/ATTACH] (the enlarged view is not better !)
but… is the star under the wing not a Russian one ?

And, mainly the ‘proof’ that some other ones still exist (from worldairforces.com) ;

Xiangji
(Glider)

X-5A
X-7 Jian Fan
X-9
X-10
X-11

Maybe YOU know more about this subject…
if so, please tell me !

friendly yours,

Etienne

(future) BELGIAN NH-90’s …

(concerning your post # 944 in this same forum)

Thanks for your p.m.-reply, Nils.

Indeed, it was a NHI -publicity view (also published in our excellent BAF-website; http://www.mil.be/aircomp ) <<<
but of ‘a’ version without markings… nor Belgian ones !

Maybe (let’s hope..) our official colors will be so ;

let’s wait & see ! (till the end of this year ?)

Your Mig-29’s-website is really intereresting !

ROUNDELS…. continued !

[ATTACH]208280[/ATTACH]

the site proposed in the previous post is … not bad !

but I had some surprises ; Angola, e.g. !

and some are missing : the new ones of Montenegro, South-Sudan, etc…

Here is another site (updated in … 1996 🙁 )

http://cocardes.monde.online.fr (also in English)

Maybe the next presented site will be THE perfect one ? !:)

AIR FORCES OF THE WORLD

[ATTACH]208120[/ATTACH]

Well, after comparing the many pages of GERARD’s website with my -also-many ‘papers’, I can conclude -temporarily ?-
for the number of existing Air Forces.

The first question is, of course, how many countries do exist ?
The reply is “evident” ; 195 !
At first, the 193 members of the U.N. ;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations
+ Taiwan + Vatican
Right 😉 ?
OK !:)

Some (17)(mini-) countries don’t have any military aircraft;
Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San-Marino, Vatican, Sao-Tome & Principe, Bhutan, East-Timor,
Kiribati, Marshall-Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Salomon-Islands, Tuvalu, Vanuatu

All comments are welcome !!

And these 7 Caribbean islands may be considered as having -individually- no own ones ; http://www.vi.ngb.army.mil/html/J5_J7/rss.html

THUS 171 countries have an Air Force

And this may be an appeal to the AFM Editor ;

Your previous roundels-poster was of 2000, ; don’t you think it’s time to consider the possibility of a newer ‘2012’ edition ??

It would be great !

Sincerely & friendly yours,

Etienne
