Jan 29/12: Post-final offer?!? Dassault makes Switzerland a new offer: 18 Rafale fighters for SFR 2.7 billion (EUR 2.24 billion, $2.96 billion), instead of 22 Gripens for SFR 3.1 billion. If this is substantially less than their earlier offer to the Swiss, the Swiss could be forgiven for asking what...

A base visit indeed

Note that access to Tatoi AFB (where the HAF museum is located) will only be allowed after 12:00 on Nov 6. On Nov 7 at 12:30 there will be a s...

Two HAF F-16s, one C and one D model had a mid air collision earlier today south of Crete island. Both planes crashed into the sea. Two of the pilots were recovered while the search for the third one is still going on
