AMRAAM for a good while now Jacko, as I'm sure you're more than aware

Flash for Q however

Yeah but why?

Having spent so much money on CSP, then more on AOP, and more on FSP, I'd bloody well hope that AMRAAM was perfect on F3........

come on Jacko, think about it. There is a perfectly valid reason(s) you would use a semi-active over an active.

See if you can work it out.

Monitoring 121.5 is a positive flight safety hazard during much of the day in the UK.

GA needs to get off Guard and be given a practice frequency. Everyone knows it.

ps Do we have *four* serviceable missiles all on one squadron!

The rocket,

Please be absolutely sure you don't miss when you pop off your four skyflashes. We have a very experienced solicitor and a barrister flying out of my base.

I wouldn't give you much of a chance against that pair in courtroom combat even with the whole RAF leagal branch behind you.

Good luck!

have you seen that transponder based 'virtual radar' thing on the back of the latest Transair catalogue. 500 quid and you can track to your hearts content (allegedly)

I would have thought this sort of thing would be extremely useful for planning ground based attacks on airliners.
