Further to that he has also said that USAF to send out aircraft from sqdns that used to fly 100 years ago e.g 107 fs, 1st rs, 2nd ars 9th bs etc. Apparently he has got this information from scramble.
can anyone here shed any light on this information or is this guy living in the realms of fantasy?
There are 3 types of "down to appear"..
1. Friend of a friend of a friend - baseless rumour
2. Self-confirm/viable source - very strong rumour
3. Announced by DBH - not a rumour
The Canadian information right now falls into category 1 and has even been formally debunked by the RCAF themselves. Unless sources are cited I'd class the other 4 air arms info as category 1 too.
