Typhoon vs MiG/F15/F18Supers
 

Typhoon Exercise

Would like to have been a fly on the wall in the crew room for that exercise.

Hope it all went well chaps.

Me too, BB. Looks like it went well. Mind you, is the RAF website going to tell the world about all the things that went wrong???? Sure as Hell 6 Sqn aren't!

You would have thought someone would have gone through the MOD piece looking for inappropriate apostrophes. But that apart, "Well done, 6 Sqn"

Ah, looks like this det took up a LOT of logs and eng support. Flying rates back home not so good. Well, we need to fly the flag!

There were no Supers at Bersama Lima...just RAAF and RMAF Classics.

The Supers were at Bersama Shield earlier in the year and flew against RMAF and RSAF only.

I hope the Minister was sold a very expensive watch during the visit (only the oldies will understand this jibe). http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ilies/evil.gif

Only the best of bugimatics that have passed the Tiger test!

LOGS and support
 

Strange how logistics and support on any aircraft become more problematic the sunnier the climes. Layovers in Penang must have been a nightmare. ;)

i see the Trail report states that they all arrived in Malaysia fully serviceable, despite the long 7000 mile journey! That's confidence for you.

Now....if we still had the SHAR and a ship to operate them off...............................OOOHHHHH Sorry, look there..................I've gone and done it.................................woken up WEBF!

How long would it have taken for a carrier to sail to Malaysia from the UK?

Oh and no cheating with the "it could have been pre-deployed" line.

Widger, look at the floor, avoid eye contact and back away slowly.
we might have gotten away with it.

Even the tanker?

So Malaysia didn't commit the Sukhoi's? They put on a stunning show over KLCC for Merdeka a couple of years back so they're mature enough in service to have been used.

Yep!

The only unserviceable aircraft was the Hercules.
