nscode Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 What part of "not-for-export" (22) is not understood? :D Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Pilotasso Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Good old neighbor kim is watching over the fence and will give the south a few presents if such a toy would be sold. The F-22 will be eventualy be sold but I dont beleive it will ever go to the korean peninsula. .
Force_Feedback Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Sure, I too have made preparations for F-22 assembly in my garage, cleaned the mess up, teh lawnmower is in the corner, now the full scale F-22 productio can start over at my place. LM, I await your response, and the parts delivery schedule shortly... 2 Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
britgliderpilot Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 IIRC the specific ban on export of the F-22 has been lifted - however, the chances of it going to SK are fairly slim. The F-35 would serve their purposes perfectly well :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
D-Scythe Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 IIRC the specific ban on export of the F-22 has been lifted - however, the chances of it going to SK are fairly slim. I'm pretty sure that nobody will be getting the F-22 anytime soon - was the ban really lifted? Last I heard it was still being disputed.
Anytime Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Maybe in about 10 years or so when the Russian/Indian stealth aircraft is flying. Return of the dogfight :) Interesting read on the F-22 export policy below though. https://research.maxwell.af.mil/papers/ay2000/saas/molloy.pdf

Last I heard it was still being disputed. . . . . I remember reading it, but can't find where it was and immediate sources say it's still not allowed for export. So for the time being, ignore my ramblings ;) Tell you what, though . . . . this graph from that document doesn't half put things in perspective: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
3Sqn_Sven Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I'm pretty sure we've all THOUGHT about purchasing 1 x Standard Issue imperial star destroyer too... Gees I'd REALLY be in the Red after that! 3Sqn - Largest distributor of Flanker, Fulcrum and Frogfoot parts in the Black Sea Region

Force_Feedback Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Dammit LM, still waiting here, when will the ejection seat comes, I want it assembled and wrapped in clear foil, so I can drool all over it. What is the clearance for an F-22 assembly rig? I'm worried about the bicycle pump might get in the way, please advise on what to do, and if it will be in compliance with the ISO 1337 standard?

sp0nge Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 WMD's, Advanced fighters..? 1 question - Why? Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 ANother thing to take in accound is the historic rivalry between South korea and japan. I dont beleive the koreans would have just remenbered to ask for the f-22 just after the japanese did the same thing. F-35 would do just fine after all NK is just over the fence at the back yard. .

Willy p. Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 As of now, there have been no reports of said action. The F22 is in japan but no news of such action has been heard...Srtars and Stripes would be all over it....trust me! 44th_Willy p. 187 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://44thvfw.org

hitman Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I'm evaluating the purchase of my very own P-51D too. Does it mean that I have a snowball's chance in hell of actually getting one? Nope. Its something I think about though, on the rare occasions that I buy a lottery ticket. :D When you get that P-51 I want to be stuck under the fuselage holding a belt full of grenades...we can go bomb DragonMans. :D
TucksonSonny Posted May 11, 2007 Author Posted May 11, 2007 No one is getting the 22 anytime soon Again, it was the latest news on the official www.f22-raptor.com The idea by itself that S.

js311 Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Again, it was the latest news on the official www.f22-raptor.com... I got this message when I tried to read the news: We make excuses ourselves for the momentary interruption of the service, we will return online more soon possible. :D
