Regardless, they are sexy planes

Speaking of the Indonesian Air force, the US has offered another batch of refurbished F-16s and they also intend to buy 6 other C-130Hs that we will be retiring, along with the 4 that we are giving them.

Here's an interesting one for you though

Via RAAF Facebook page, I was well aware of pilots serving with other countries forces, but being allowed to fly the most advanced stealth fighter was what shocked me, thought the US would have wanted their pilots in them. Good experience for the Flight Lieutenant though.

I find it surprising as well. Reading the article, he's not the first either.

What you may find surprising is that the UK had a pilot flying their B2s in an exchange program. That is definitely cooler imo (o:

Finally a decision, would've be silly to not get them converted considering the millions spent to add the extra wiring to allow conversion at a later date.

McDethWivFries · 23rd August 2012, 09:30 PM

Bout time, honestly think they should've gone with all 24 being wired and upgraded to Growler. Be a great addition to the RAAF once the F35 comes online.

Santa · 23rd August 2012, 10:20 PM

Hopefully if they purchase more to cover any more possible delays with the F-35 they will have that lot converted.
