the EAF’s F-16’s are almost brand-new,so there is no reason to replace tham in the near future..
about the phantoms, i know that the Egyptians had a hard time of maintaining them.and because of that,several groups of Egyptian technicians have been send to the US in order to learn how to maintaine thire F-4’s from professional US technicians…

but,i agree that time of the Egyptian f-4’s is about to end,and a replacment is needed..

the Egyptian pilots are one of the best in all of the Middle East,and thay are trained by the US. so i would not say that thire training is “pathetically poor “..
i know that the EAF had gained a bad reputation during the conflicts against Israel.
but time as change,and the EAF is only secend to the IDFAF in terms of training qualities.

BTW
does anyone have a good photos of EAF f-4’s?

thanks
