On another note Dave, and this probably opens up a can of worms so you can reserve your opinion if you so wish.
But knowing today what you know of the Argentinian Air Force, what could they have done differently? I am asking as I re-read some of the books of the time, and found a quote from one of the GR3 pilots who didnt have many kind words as to the performance of the FAA in the conflict. Particularly in the Air to Air environment.
I read a few days ago a report in Spanish that the FAA did indeed have an Israeli instructor in the months prior to the conflict, to impart some tactics and techniques of modern aviation warfare.
Would the fact that they had no airborne radar, RWR, or HUD really have tipped the scales significantly? Again, you don't have to answer if you don't feel like it, I respect that.
