A10Yoda Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Why is there a TACAN in the Civilian model and an ILS ADF in the military? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontiuka Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Because the countries where they're operated - Chile, Honduras, Jordan - have few to no TACAN stations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Yoda Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 That explains the Military model, but why is there one in the Civilian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The EB is not a civilian model, it's main lead-in fighter trainer of the Spanish Air Force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Yoda Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have never known any trainer that only equips "smoke pods" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Why not? It's there to train pilots to fly and navigate, not to fight, hence the "lead-in". Even more advanced trainers like e.g. the T-38 rarely carry weapons anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Yoda Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have flown the T38, L39C both in the Air Force. Both have pylons powered to place training munitions. My point is, if it is a trainer, then it should have a trainer loadout. It comes with 2 fictional skins. Aviojet, the company that made it and a fake US Air Force. If it is a Spanish Air Force trainer, I guarantee you they have a livery for it and they would have CAP 9's and a GAU pod they would place on it.. Colored Smoke is an Air Show CIVILIAN model and the TACAN would be REMOVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I swear it's like talking to a wall. You've flown fast jets and do not understand what a lead-in trainer is? The C-101 EB damn well doesn't have weapons nor do combat training, because the F-5B does that in the Spanish Air Force, AFTER one has graduated from the C-101. The -EB skins that come with it are absolutely not fictional It's like complaining that the Tucano or T6 Texan do not carry weapons... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Yoda Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 How many of those you see flying around with smoke pods? None.. because those don't have hardpoint pylons on them. Kinda my point.. You either make it a trainer or you don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 How many of those you see flying around with smoke pods? Exactly 12, from the Patrulla Aguila https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrulla_%C3%81guila Stop embarassing yourself 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESAc_matador Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I dont usually get into this nonsenses... but honestly A10Yoda... really???. Have you ever thought, that USAF is not the only Airforce out there??? and there are more than one way to do things out there? jeeeeesussss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky28 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Erm So the EB would be the same as the Red Arrows I guess the version of hawk they use has no weapons and no pylons to attach any. The fact that casa actually made a trainer like that from launch actually shows quite clever commercial sense I think. Then again that's not how America is doing it though :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
