That would be a very wise decision. But I doubt it will happen. I guess when defence funding increases, they will rather ask for another F35 squadron.Flyboy wrote:It would not surprise me if, after the last F-35 has been delivered, airforce wil start requesting for an M-346 type trainer / lght attack plane to be additional for training and low thread missions. Say two squadrons or to be mixed with the F-35 in 5 squadtons...

 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

My thoughts exactly..
Every now and then, someone in the Pentagon wants to axe the A-10, because of whatever reason... only to find out that there is NO substitute (yet, not sure if anything is being worked on).. for this menacing mean Warthog....

btw has the internal gun on the F-35 reached IOC (or whatever they call it)?
