"Inspired by the 2005 RAF Wokka display, the USAF invited the team to spice up their own F-16 display. You see early rehearsals for Fairford 2006 here."

So, we tell the Brits "the Chinook HC3 has a Radar that works as well as the APG-66..." it just requires a bolt on module..

USAF went all out to ensure that George Dubbya's first sortie at the controls of the F-16 was a successful one.

"After the Chinook went U/S in the field it needed to be over-slung back by a passing F16"

"The Chinook started its run-up against the 'Super-Stallion with Typhoon' at the international Heavy Lift Conkers Competition"

"The amazing visual line-up of an F16 taking off, an overflying CH47 and a distant mast make it look like the Chinook is actually lifting the fighter"

After seeing the European Defence Committee's solution for an air defence package for the SH fleet; the Public Accounts Committee finally understood where EFA had come from, and that the camel was indeed a horse designed by a committee.

After his little "incident" as a Thunderbird pilot, FO Bloggs was still undergoing the US Airforce's intensive "Altimeter Setting for Dummies" course

SP

OR.....

This F-16 is taking part in non-scary to death silent trials following the reindeer incident.

The Danish Air Force has paid 30,000 krones (about $4,800) in damages to a local Santa Claus after its F-16s scared his only reindeer to death, Danish television reported Friday.

'No need for extra support - the new F-16 tourer - for those small scale skirmishes - comes with a roof box fitted as standard.'

"Cyril, I know you've always wanted your own F16, but I still don't think it was worth three bottles of Scotch and a Loadmasters helmet"
