Retro Flight

Post by sdamico »

Retro 5x-56 departed from NASJRB Fort Worth on Thursday 30 October at 0500 local (1000Z).

Possible delivery to Iraq? (The first had been planned for September.)

Thanks. (I had only heard "56", which as I now know was the lead.) This makes sense as the deliveries to Egypt and Iraq would appear to be suspended for the moment. However, I recall reading that the Oman batch of 12 was to be delivered by December 2016, so apparently they are well ahead of schedule (the first four having been delivered in July), probably due to the suspension of the others.
