Omani Jags retiring
The last flights for Jaguars in Oman are scheduled for 23 July 2014, at Thumrait of course. 37 years sterling service!!

It had to happen! (Same as the Hunters) They have both given excellent service in Oman and I know that they are held in great affection by the Omani pilots (and Brits.) who flew them. However, better (more modern?) jets have come along! Progress, (but I still have some great memories, and pics. of the "old" days)!
