Subject: Danish Airforce 2020?
Schackleford    6/5/2005 5:02:14 AM
Any ideas of what aircraft the Danish Airforce should choose to replace our F-16A's when they eventually reach their end. Denmark is a partner on the JSF program, so we will most likely end up with this modern and capable fighter-bomber. Baring that, the JAS39 Gripen seems to be the platform of choice. Being truly multirole, the Gripen is a fine modern aircraft for whatever needs there will arise for Denmark for the forseeable future.

Variable Geometry (á la Concorde)... http://forsvaret.dk/NR/rdonlyres/4D496225-988D-4BE6-8247-07A7A2D9124B/21375/051117f163425.jpg ALT=Variable geometry> ...and Mudmover. It meets the criteria, yessir! http://forsvaret.dk/NR/rdonlyres/4D496225-988D-4BE6-8247-07A7A2D9124B/21373/051117f16425.jpg ALT=Mudmover> Nothing like a little overnight, indigenous mod for putting new platforms in inventory!

Nosewheel break on landing or something?

Close enough. Double rupture of tyres on landing.

When did this happen? I don't recall seeing it in the news. Is it an old picture? It wouldn't be the first F-16 lost during accidents. I believe it is our third or fourth...

It ain't spectacular enough to be in the press, stuff like http://www.f-16.net/f-16_news_topic15all.html TARGET=_blank>this is happening all the time :) The aircraft wil be duct-taped together again, or cannibalized for spares. No problem. I must admit I was inspired by http://ftp.delta-v.org/aircraft/pp/Danish%20F16%20Accident%20-%20folder/F-16%20top%20ten%20list.ppt TARGET=_blank>this powerpoint, which I have posted before...

Nice!!! You blokes are masters of engineering. Hats off to the new droop snoot F-16. Love it. ;) (seriously, I reckon it is an improvement on the looks of the old Viper).

You can only improve upon that garden variety stealth plane IMO. ;)
