UN No Fly Zone

What part of it is NOT called an 'Awacy - 3d' do you not understand? -

I know what it's called which is more than he [the Army Captain] does

[Xplumberlives]

Captain, he was a BRIGADIER!

[Mayfly]

So who cares about offending the Army!!!!

So who cares about offending the Army!!!!

Obviously NOT a deaf woman from Lincolnshire!

[Dan4th]

But that's not right anyway, one of the USAF AWACS crew that was at Waddington in 08 I think it was, got very upset when someone dropped the S off the end

Blimey, who worries about offending Murkins?

I have NEVER received ANY special treatment
on this "Forum"!

But I DO think Her Ladyship has a point!

(...and it's NOT on the top of her Head!...)

It wasn't a "jet" but a C-130 went into Waddington this morning

Ohh sounds like a video card ...........

[Avro]

Libyan oil production only amounts to about 2% of the total amount!

Yes, and the USA government is comfortably aware that Canada reliably supplies America with twice as much oil as the entire Middle East.

[Hula-Hoop]

so let me get this right we have got tornados and typhoons on stand buy in England and Italy so if it all go horribly horribly wrong we can stop it ???

[Dan4th]

Avro, I do not think your figures are correct......

A Tornada GR4 described as a Stealth!?? Phew i think not!!

[Mayfly]

Typhoons have completed their first combat mission according a report from the MOD, issued a short while ago.

One of Lakenheath's by the looks of it. Doesn't sound like it was shot down, although, I'm sure they'll claim it was

[Xplumberlives]

Look here, it was 304 an F15E from the heath, both crew rescued by US Navy helio!

Good old American military, living up to its reputation, shoot first.........

[Olicat]

What really annoys me is that on the news it says that tornado GR4's were patrolling the Libyan airspace...

Its a Ground attack aircraft, not a Fighter. You cant fire an air to ground missile at another aircraft !

[Dan4th]

Good old American military, living up to its reputation, shoot first.........

I'm not defending them yet, but we really don't
have enough information to start condemning
the USN at this point.....

Who Knows what happened?

I don't (...yet).

And I would withhold judgement for the RN, too.

Olifant, can you look up ALARM missile, used by Tornado GR4s for suppression of enemy radar!
