Interesting Internet

Great they could narrate a non existent type with a non existent person, AI is hateful.

Lets disrespect all the other tainers with slander, I'm just wondering which of T-50, hurjet or PC-21 actually has worse performance than the kit plane? Obviously not the gas guzzling M346.

The Honeywell engines on the M346 are used elsewhere. Do you have a reference for the performance of the M346? The Italians seem to be pleased with it, and it has sold to other countries.

Its a quote from the video you posted.

Hang on I didn't make the video, I posted it because forumites might find it interesting. Now I'm wondering if the fuel consumption of the Honeywell engine is 'fake news' intended to promote its single engined competitors which, apart from the Russian design, use the F404.

JGSDF “special” Chinook.

Not many of the original J models left, having been replaced by the newer “JA” type (fat tanks and piggy nose).

It was a cracking day on Monday, watching most of those types fly.

Zeus schedule. Only 4 events the whole year

[CWS]

Seems like they have scaled back a lot. Between them and the Danes, is it 7 shows between them in the year?

[Morgangalley]

Yea not many this year. Hopefully the polish can punch out a schedule with a few more dates on it!

Edit: although Greek schedules aren’t always accurate. RIAT was on the 2023 schedule and they were turned away by air ops so dates could change

But there is a big gap in July...........

yeah true

Just mad that we now only have 4 F-16 demos around (soon to be 3) and they don't regularly come over to the UK. Greece, Poland & SoloTurk do come to Riat but only sporadically

At the moment, the Polish F16 Tiger Demo is very inactive, 0 training/rehearsal flights this year.

Interesting because in your leszno post you have tiger demo team as TBC

[bobby 1211]

Exactly, TBC = not officially confirmed, the team showed its intent to participate and were offering VIP tickets for Leszno, but nothing has been updated on this matter since. Their social media is dead and they are not flying any training or rehearsal flights.

[Morgangalley]

Idk, it’s wierd, hopefully they do get out this year. Great demo

Discussion on future RN AEW capability

If this is to be believed, the 9th US-2 (9909) has recently emerged from the ShinMaywa manufacturing facility.

At the moment there are six in service, 01 was recently withdrawn from use, and 05 was written off in 2015.
