pba_target,

The Typhoon folk do use the Farnborough Centrifuge for Hi-G Famil Training. They also fly in the RAF CAM Hawks up to +9Gz.

The issue with the Farnborough Centrifuge is its age and, more important to some, a Defence Estates wish to flog the site to some property developer for a tidy sum.

I am unsure of the cost of an F15 these days but I suspect it is way above that of a centrifuge, even a super-dooper one.

Your comments concerning saving a single Typhoon etc are absolutely correct, such arguments have been fielded - and totally ignored!
