Replacement RAF AWACS

Slight change of theme, so obsolete and fit for scrap aircraft no longer needed by RAF!


Selling so called obsolete aircraft to US seems to be a big thing?

Harrier, C-130J, E3 now Sentinel!
If its US Army they have got themselves a good deal, for the price of the stripped out aircraft and new updated electronics they get their own JSTARS trainset to play with.

The Blue Angels Fat Albert converted from ZH… here at Marshall’s at EGSC was because there were no existing J absolve from either AMARC at Davis-Monthan or spare one from the VMGR community they could use.

Cheers
 
How are they going to get there? We were told that they were withdrawn from service as they were totally clapped out! suddenly they have an operational life.

Well, one was flying according to ADS-B a few weeks ago, so by air seems to be the option.

The Chilean high brass were over at Waddo a week or so back in their Presidential 767, so all seems to be tikidy-boo with this deal.

One of the E-3s will be used for spares fot the other 2, which will replace their Boeing 707 Plalcon airframe.

Also some talk of US wanting to buy one also.
