Guys,
I was not prepared to give away accurate numbers of assets across the www, miltary secrets should remain so - I spent several years studying RAAF aircraft with the Cadets, however look to the future and we are looking at acquiring 80-100 new fighters. As for 34R's post I recommend you take a trip to the fighterworld museum at Williamtown, they have a viewing deck where you can listen to actual radio transmissions from the jets.... I did this a few years ago on a field trip and saw many more than 15 aircraft fly that day! Back to the discussion at hand, does the Goverment recognise there is currently a Tanker gap and if so why are'nt they trying to address it!
