tflash Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 It's only the Langley F-22 http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2011/10/air-force-langley-f-22-wing-commander-grounds-102111w/ USAF F-15 and 16 lines have been close for some time. Last F-16 was delivered to Shaw AFB back in 2006 IIRC As I understood it, the production lines are still running (for export orders), but the USAF is indeed not buying anymore for about half a decade. In my - very humble - opinion that was a decade to soon. If the Taiwan deal doesn't materialize, F-16 production will effectively come to a halt. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 They are still delivering planes to Morocco. .
mvsgas Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 tflash and Pilotasso, You are both correct, they are still delivering F-16 to foreign user, but night and day comparing them to USAF F-16 or F-15. So like I posted, USAF lines are close, many overseas users. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Cali Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 F-15 crashes north of Las Vegas; no injuries Here is the story, pilot ejected; http://news.yahoo.com/f-15-crashes-north-las-vegas-no-injuries-015810165.html More to come later ALAMO, Nev. (AP) — An Air Force fighter jet crashed in a remote part of southern Nevada on Monday, but the pilot was able to eject from the aircraft and was uninjured, a military spokesman said. The F-15C Eagle crashed in an unpopulated area northwest of Alamo, Nev., about 4:45 p.m., said Lt. Ken Lustig, a spokesman for Nellis Air Force Base. Alamo is about 100 miles north of Las Vegas. "There's no ongoing threat to the public," Lustig said. "It's a fairly remote area." The pilot was taken to Mike O'Callaghan Federal Hospital for an examination that revealed no injuries, Lustig said. Lustig didn't have any details about the nature of the flight and couldn't say whether the jet that crashed was accompanied by other aircraft. An investigation into the cause of the crash was already under way i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED

I don't know why it is titled that way, nothing to do with stealth, good show tho.

Sorry I haven´t found it on any english page. But my short summary: A Boeing 777 of Singapore Airlines tried to land at the Munich airport today but shortly after the touchdown the aircraft drifted from the southern runway to the grass (parallel to the runway) and came to a halt there. No one was injured and the aircraft didn´t look damaged ...strange Edited November 3, 2011 by mr.president 2 Gaming Pc´s Desktop: win7 64bit i5 2100@3,6GHz 8gb kingston gainward gtx 460 glh Laptop: Asus G21Gserie win7 64bit T9600 6gb gtx260M maximum settings on both systems Now WITH Joystic:joystick: i dont play KEYBOARD anymore :D "Empty your mind.
