Derk 265 Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Not Fulcrums but Flankers will be based at Keflavik AB in Iceland. An amazing initiative.......... My link Going to be interesting in Iceland and I guess it will be heaven for ex fighter pilots, earning something like E 160.000,= p.a. without having to trundle along in civil jets Hou doe, Derk Edited September 10, 2010 by Derk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted September 10, 2010 I'll believe it when I see it. Operating a modern fighter squadron is expensive. Unless they get a lot of business from deep pocketed players, this won't last long. FC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abhi 3 Posted September 11, 2010 Whats that ECA is,in the intro they just talk abt IAF sukhois in red flag,sounds like a private company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derk 265 Posted September 11, 2010 It is a private company, but I don't know who is funding them. One of the founders is Dutch, don't know him, and it seems that at least one fighter pilot, younger brother Peter of our former Chief of Staff Lt. gen Dick Berlijn, is involved too... They get their Flankers from Belo Russia, including later versions, the total number being no less then 30+ But that whole thing is hearsay evidence. As I said, we'll see....
