BV,

New build Buccs in the 80's with Tornado avionics - why not?
What advantage would Tornado have had over these (apart from dash speed when clean)? I can think of lots of disadvantages!

Interesting the USAF is looking to buy new F-15s - which could well see them past 2050... maybe slip to 2060??? Surely not eagles getting near 100 years since first flight??

So Buccs at 2019 does not sound so bad?
