Foreplane,
Just want to get this straight...
MMH/FH, MTBF and other costs of ownership which BAE use as sales points are ALSO SPECIFIED for the DA aircraft?
The DA aircraft should achieve these figures more easily because they are less ambitious and don't incorporate the 'untested' mods and developments to which you refer?
The DA aircraft fail to meet these figures?
LJ,
Thanks, was astonished that BAES seemed to have lost both of its 'in-at-the-ground-floor', 'totally familiar with every aspect of development' TPs in recent years. Was KH's display work up (for ILA) at the end of a development hop really such a serious lapse in flying discipline? Or was it an excuse for him to be pushed for 'political reasons' or was it a 'tip-of-the-iceberg'/final straw-camel's back' thing.... ?
No bites on 'sorry tails'? Sorry, 'sorry tales'.......
