Couldn't it have flown back under it's own power from Norway to the UK. Is done before.
Had it some issues?
Or just training transporting by air?

Great set once again!
Century fighters!
Much to like.
Love the civil Voodoo.

I read the article but bit confused these are dates for aircraft, in you could say, current state? Updates are always possible? 14 Chinooks have yet to be delivered! A replacement for the C-17 is not on the horizon. And looking at some dates, a program for a some sort of replacement may have to star...

Not sure this is right place to ask, but why is F-15QA 17-045 still at Lakenheath?

Waiting for the next delivery batch to arrive from St. Louis and then join them for the onward flight to Qatar.

Okay Thanks

Thanks for sharing.

A total of 39 F-35A and seven F-35B aircraft are allocated for FMS customers.

For the first ten years of F-16s being operated in Europe, the USAF operated F-15, F-111, F-4/RF-4 and A-10 in front line service alongside. The Belgians kept their Mirage 5s for another 12 years, the Dutch their F-5s, The Norwe...

Not sure how reliable Greek Reporter is. 24th October https://greekreporter.com/2024/10/24/greece-air-power-purchase-rafale-jets-military-expansion/ But might be mixed up with this news about delivery of last 6 Rafales of original order 24th September https://www.ekathimerini.com/politics/foreign-po...

When did VMFA’s start operating mixed C/D units, never seen that before? For sometime (2-3 years). Can't find the article. But due to lack of Ds, because some are needed for training I believe. Cs are added to some VMFA units. As Cs are available in larger numbers as also ex-USN are available. Nice...

News form Dutch MoD yesterday that only 12 will be order instead of 14.
Reason the money available and complexity of systems (integration).
Delivery also delayed to 2030-2032
