Scramble Messageboard

There was a report not long ago that the 13 Lakenheath TR-3 interim new builds awaiting delivery would no longer be delivered to LN and they would receive instead 13 combat capable older TR-2 jets from existing units as TR-3 interim spec can only be used for training at the moment. Probably why AF-4...

Fort Worth 301FW received 22-5688 on August 8th.

If it’s a TR-3 development F-35 that has crashed it could further delay even more the resumption of deliveries?

Looks like two were delivered to Corpus Christi.

USN Beech landed at Corpus Christi yesterday, 170744.. is this the first T-54 (T-44 replacement) or just something passing through? Thanks.

Does anybody have any information on how to register for the Istres air show at the end of September, it’s the 90th anniversary of the French Airforce. Previous emails said it’s restricted to 50,000 visitors each day (Saturday/Sunday) and you must register in advance for a place. There is no charge ...

AF-450 is in the early stages of production.

23-57xx not 22-57xx?

Yesterday's press release from USN say they hope to repair the P-8 and return it to service due to very little damage occurring. Time will tell if that actually happens.

Is this something new that is asked for? Having done the flights a few times this has never been required in the past. Thanks.

170066 is clearly in the video.. not sure sure about 170065. Did they both arrive?

Tucano, Super Tucano and AMX, plus license build of Saab Gripens.. they have done quite a lot.

Now I understand why Swedish Air Force continued the use of C-130 and followed Germany and France. The Swedish Tp84s already are the oldest C-130s in Europe. By 2040 they will nearly be 85 years of age! :shock: Perhaps the type identification was chosen to align the number with their retirement age...
