Thunder on LOC Patrol

[hunter_hunted]

Hi Windy,

This is such a dumb photo---.

Without a ladder---is the pilot going to jump into the cockpit---.

No he will use ropes which he is carrying in bag

If they did not think of this due tk weight; they probably don’t recall the chaos of conflict.

Did not know the eurofighter was carrier capable.

These are specific to nations running QRAs. The gripen doesnt have one as such either.

Point being if one needs major bases than A ladder is of no significance

But is factor to consider on a carrier ops

I agree general, but only 48 jets in 14 years is a very slow pace. I guess we have no choice than to keep working on this project.

Are you counting from conceptilual design or production start????

From production date, there is conflicting info on the net where some say its less than 50 and some sites are reporting no more than 68 jets. Personally I don't believe everything PAF says! I know few things about them.
