We end up with the F-35 that has to take off with less payload, has a shorter range and needs to return with more fuel, sounds like a winner :doh:. I'd have loved it if the QE carriers had EMALS with the F-35C, but from the moment there was word of it. I knew it was too good and sensible to be true. I know (well, hope) they will be basing their decision on more data than I have, such as the F-35C hook issue, delays to its construction etc. But then you see reports like this where the MoD were overestimating the cost of having cats and traps. I wonder how much it's going to cost to run the B rather than the C in the long run, we'll find out...

Thanks for the heads up, bought it and having a blast :thumbup:

Disappointed the fast jet isn't a bit further along, but the relief that DCS is moving to a single EXE outweighs that. Thanks for the update :thumbup:

Not in Valve Time :D

Remember there's a LOT fewer pilots being trained now by the RAF since the cull as part of the SDSR in 2010, will they be even more picky as to who they want to train? I'd imagine so.

Yep the red arrows will have 7 display aircraft this season, 9 aircraft will be used for official flypasts. Respect to her, must have soul destroying for every member of the team when they had 2 fatalities in such a short space of time.

Not to mention this... BVTw1ysCgBY

It's football.

They didn't need to add the fake ball, poking himself in the eye is good enough :megalol:

Not sure if it's IMAX. The display is at the the Science Museum in London. Page on it is here. I feel guilty posting without an image, so have one of my photos of an RAF Typhoon low level in the lake district.

I think you had to pay £10 to see it in 3d at a cinema somewhere. Also didn't realise that video wouldn't play when embedded, sorry folks.

Maybe the police should use this? :D uvYxXBMqEOM

Captains too busy looking at all the girls in bikini's, can be the only option.

Just now on steam it's 33% cheaper until 8pm GMT tomorrow, getting it!

Before clicking play I thought this was a video from Fighter Ops, nope still nothing to see yet.

Some (hopefully most) of us will have multiple cores though ;)

USMC got a bargain. http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=18115
