Post ur cunt's Air-Force
Carson Ward
Hunter Morgan
sorry we don't have air force
Christopher Miller
Oliver Richardson
Isaac Myers
Evan Gomez
Josiah Price
same :(
James Powell
James Jenkins
Aaron Reed
Robert Taylor
Plz sell replacement
Jordan Butler
Plz sell attack helicopters as well
Dominic Howard
buy F-35 lol
Landon Hernandez
We also bought a lot of these second hand from Uncle Sam.
Brody Hughes
Is that airforce or army aviation?
F20 would have been great for mexi airforce
Camden Parker
What's up brother?
Cooper Moore
Seems a bit exesive, a few F16s and F18s would do the trick
Yeah, they did had the prototype here for evaluation and the high command loved it but for some reason or another the sale never came to be, I think Northrop cancelled the project
Noah Gutierrez
>Is that airforce or army aviation?
the latter iirc
only our old CH-53s are still air force
Angel Stewart
Its because ronald regan authorized the export of f16s, which took most of the f20s martket share
Xavier James
And we didn't get on board with the F16 cause we were in debt thanks to an earthquake
Same reason why we only got 12 F-5 when 48 were planed
Fuck tectonic plates
Brandon Young
>we were in debt thanks to an earthquake
brah....
Austin Stewart
>1985 earthquake killed over 10k people
>City with outdated building codes and built over a lake bed that amplifies the power of an earthquake by at leas 100 times
You situation and ours is completely different, you get stronger but your soil is rocky soil, we get a bit lighter quakes but our soil amplifies them and makes the waves stick around for longer
Here have your own people explained to you youtube.com
Nathaniel Williams
Such a shame the F-20 project wasn't completed
Austin Lee
Alouette III, in service since 1961.
I don't know if there are older airframes in service in the world.
Grayson Campbell
What happened to the F-20? Why did never went fowards?
Hunter Bell
This
Zachary Gutierrez
Is it safe to operate still?
Our Alouettes have been in the museum for a while now
Jeremiah Myers
>Ps: Don't forget the helis :^)
I've got this.
Thomas Young
I see. Too bad it died, it seemed like a F-5 on steroids for the time.
Jonathan Young
Nice.
David Howard
There is probably not a single piece of origin on them, it's just that this machine does its job remarquably well for a cost that even civilian operators dream of.
They'll be retired in 2026 (maybe).
Andrew Powell
Brandon Reed
Are Lamas still used there?
Joseph Clark
There are many smaller jet trainers on the market nowadays. It can't be that expensive for Mexico.
Or ur govt could go full absolute madman and buy Chink/Paki.
Liam Collins
Easton Bennett
planefu
Logan Phillips
It never was used I think.
Owen Long
Ayden Powell
Hunter Perry
Wher did you got the money to buy that ffs?
Daniel Peterson
Buy Su-30 to spite Drumpf
Dominic Barnes
Our government spends shit on defence,basically tells the armed forces
>Here you have less than 0.7% of GDP, now please do the job of the police, judges, detectives, prevent the cunt from collapsing into a failed state and prepare an invasion of Guatemala, don't make much noise while doing it and prepare for more budget cuts cause MUH elections
Levi Lee
Guatemala is a threat to Mexico? But i understand how it feels, budgets cuts here are quite frequent but somehow they managed to cry a few billions more for some naval project.
Andrew Bennett
>the coast guard has better helicopters than the air force
Sebastian Watson
EU gibs.
Jordan Clark
>Guatemala is a threat to Mexico?
Nah, more of a joke but such plan does exist due to tensions with them during the 1950s
During the last 20 years our congress has blocked a total of 9 attempts by both the air force and navy to obtain new fighter jets
And recent accidents have shown the truly inept leadership of the current air force command
Wyatt Collins
You know the Harrier was the first import jet used in combat by the US Military since World War 1? It also had a brutal reputation for engine failures at first and was seen as a hazardous or disrespectful assignment by some pilots at first. It did however prove itself quickly though and 20 years after its adoption it had a better availability rate than almost any other plane during the Gulf War.
Connor Nelson
But now I realize that they actually do something, the air force in the other hand is totally useless... They don't do a shit.
Isaiah Miller
Don't the officers there go overseas for some course or exchange?
Isaiah Gutierrez
On second thought beaners can't fly, they should buy S-400 instead. It would be worth the price to see the pentagon have a meltdown.
Jayden Richardson
10 of these is our airforce
Lincoln Allen
That's HMS Ocean not HMS Queen Elizabeth - look at the bridge. Totally different shape.
Ryan Morris
Im sure they do, but still moral is quite low atm
Russian gear can have a complicated spare parts supply
Owen Campbell
Then they should insist maintenance be included as part of a deal.
Samuel Lee
I don't think morale has a say when it comes to this desu. Training and doctrine must be kept in shape even in peace times.
Justin Clark
Russian post-sale were always shit. For some time our MI-24 had to be grounded because the Russians weren't sending parts for maintenace. It appears they fixed that for us at least, they have a good availability rate now.
Asher Richardson
That's why you want to pay in installments. If they don't service their product the contract can be voided and they can't take it back from you.
Sebastian Baker
Sure, but the thing is these Mi-24 weren't even planned for our armed forces, it was actually some political deal. They were supposed to go to the army, but they didn't wanted to fuck their logistics and maintenance. Now they're looking for some ex-USMC Cobras.
So in the end the Air-Force had to take them.
Brayden Ortiz
Aaron Rodriguez
You're welcome
Dominic Adams
picrel
Xavier Foster
I once read an article saying that it would be cheaper with time for the Air force to go with the Su-35 or even the PAK FA over time than the Gripens
Was it Slavboo autism?
Tyler Murphy
That’s why we are buying mostly from you and Europe
Russia doesn’t always comply with deals even if their gear is good and cheap
That impacts on lack of money, the F5 squadron has the bare minimum of flight hours, they are basically grounded for 3 months a year.
Meanwhile helicopter and turbo prop pilots have almost daily flights. But this is also coming just now with all the new shit we got, second hand gear was also grounded for long periods of time, so basically now we are re training all personnel, abandoning the previous task of plane cannibalism for spare parts
The Air Force shares budget with the army, and the army eats most of it
For some politicians our Air Force is their private air line, a lot of good helis and planes were converted into VIP units leaving the already small tactical squadrons one aircraft short
Angel Hernandez
liar....
Cooper Murphy
Going to marry an F-15E
Christopher Powell
Remember me?
Brayden Martinez
Most of our helicopters are under the army air arm or the fleet air arm
The RAF only operate Chinooks and Pumas now
also like one SAR heli but no-one cares about that
Jordan Smith
It wouldn't make sense for our reality. Sure it would be fucking awesome to have a Su-35 or even a 5th gen. But our financial and political reality wouldn't allow. A Gripen will be as good deterrent as one of the "big boys jet" here in Sudamerica, since we also don't "project power" outside this area. Plus, the Air-Force and govt wanted full tech transfer, which many of the competitors at the time weren't willing to do it. Russia were ones of those willing to transfer, but personally i wouldn't believe Russian would transfer their "flagship" jet tech to us,a cunt that isn't really as close to them.
In the end, as it been proving, going with the Gripen was the best choice for us.
Wyatt Evans
Not a big fan tbqh
Ethan Green
I really really like tankers
Thomas Adams
Yeah, the version you used was the Alouette II, my mistake
Brayden Garcia
It proved itself more than worthy during the Falklands war.
Adam Taylor
Levi Martinez
Can one actually go through the whole plane and look out the windows or is the whole fuselage full with fuel and the manufacturers were too lazy to remove the windows?
Excuse the dumb question pls
Michael Jones
Really like the b-1 for some reason lads
John Davis
This is about as angry as an RAF pilot gets.
Daniel Bailey
Sebastian Rivera
>USA imported jets during ww1
Michael Price
Carter Stewart
In certain parts, yes
Obviously this depends on the tanker but the a330 keeps a fair space for passengers
We're planning on scrapping the royal flight concept and just ferrying her maj around in the back of one of these things if she needs to get around the globe now
Adrian Cox
Cool
Owen Gray
R1s are cute! CUTE!
Wyatt Thomas
Reminds me of the Bandeirante.
Michael Nelson
I always thought the F-117 looked qt.
Robert Cruz
Whaddya know, it was introduced before the beechcraft was
Looks like brazil leads the world again
Cooper Morris
serbs get so proud over shooting one of these down, it's like their greatest military accomplishment. they crack me up
Jackson Ross
Slickest design ever
Nicholas Diaz
I miss boatplanes desu
Benjamin Garcia
A classic plane here
Michael Allen
Why shouldn't they?
Jayden Fisher
For all the fags who signed the interest letter, you better fucking buy it. NOW!
Brody Brown
Lucas Adams
The good times are gone
Angel Morris
I got banned from Rein Main air force base, true story.
Wyatt Young
>tfw it's almost true
en.wikipedia.org
Well, somehow we bribed you to buy our stuff.
Justin Hughes
Postin' the banger.
Carter Thomas
I like those too
Brandon Morris
Asher Phillips
WWII?
Ayden Cooper
Yeah
