QuoteCool! And, even better, this was nearly real world!

When in 1965 time come of replacing Meteor mk.4s and F-86F, FAA list was as follow

- F-100 Super sabre (too old)
- F-4 Phantom (what they wanted, but USA disagree)
- F-5 Unexpensive, but performances were too low
Drakken, Mirage IIIE, Lightning... the Mirage IIIE won, only to be slaughtered by SHARs in 1982...
It depends on what version of the F-100 we're talking about.  If they went with the proposed Spey-powered version that NAA studied, that could be quite capable.
Don't know, that was what was said in the magazine! Well, I took it the sense that FAA probably dind't have money nor will to finance Spey-powered, radar F-100... they probably looked at stock F-100s, which were already obsolete in the interceptor role in the 60's... (F-100 was used in the ground pounder role)

QuoteHmm and there a story that the FAA looked at Deploying its remaining F-86's to port stanley during the punch up. So not that Old lol.

I've heard of this at the Key forums... I'm asking if a F-86 could have took off from Port stanley airfield ?
How about F-86 Vs Sea Harrier ?  :wub:
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Iread someware that they tried out a few take off's & landings on a runway marked out with the length of Stanleys runway, not sure how well they did thou
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.
