Tourist:

No aircraft without a radar could do an IMC intercept for a start! Jag, Harrier, Hawk etc. That is why it has not been scrapped altogether until Typhoon is available in larger numbers.

What is clear is there are too many here who know nothing about the F3 or the role of AD. It is obvious it is of little use in AFG - it is NOT a multirole aircraft and those serving on the F3 recognise that. If choices have to be made, then perhaps the reduction is a logical step.

But please do not lower yourselves to berate those who fly in the aircraft or service it. Those people do not deserve it no more than any others who are trying to do the best job they can with the kit they are given.
