Bit sad that the U.S aren't that happy ..... but what the hell . Looks like an interesting concept at least .

Japan, even since they built the FUJI T1 which look so close to the F86 but stretched in the early 1960s they have always had US and ingenious in there air force , next being the T2 and the F1, the Japanese Jag, the mention off the modified F-16 the Mitsubishi SX-3 in the mid 1980s don't think will be to worried - probably the media sache again.

Another interesting post... the Koreans and Indonesians are also getting into the fighter business... and Pakistan also have their joint project with China...more fighters coming out of Asia than Europe and the U.S. nowadays. Hmmm and we don't have squat

Still recall the quote and call famous , by Graham Bethel "New Zealand have become the scabs of the Pacific" this was point at the decision when RNZAF strike wing was deleted , I talk to a lot of RNZAF peoples and they are also still heated up over the entire ridiculous debacle, it was a bloody insult as well.
