  1. cool. when I first saw this i thought the backstory would be pakistan selling to VPAF the first batch of f-16's from 81-82. Don't know what they would get in nreturn other than monetary and business transactions. A letter of agreement for up to 28 F-16A's and 12 F-16B's was signed December 1981. The contracts, Peace Gate I and Peace Gate II, were for 6 and 34 Block 15 models respectively which would be powered by the F100-PW-200 engine. The fist Peace Gate I aircraft was accepted at Fort Worth in October 1982. Two F-16A and four F-16B were delivered to Pakistan in 1983, the first F-16 arriving at PAF Base Sargodha (now known as PAF Base Mushaf) on 15 January 1983 flown by Squadron Leader Shahid Javed. The 34 remaining Peace Gate II aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1987.[35][3

  5. OLDER CATS

    Well, from what I have read, as they age, they do sleep more. is common. I am a cat owner but my girl is 6yr old and playful still. If your cat rolls over and has appetite, then she shd be ok. you could always ask the vet or research online.

  17. Well some glim er of hope, wiki says South Korea may be getting some for their service and naval analysts want viking back in service due to Chinese anti-ship missiles. Chances are by 2019, the vikings return. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_S-3_Viking Potential interest[edit] In October 2013, South Korea's Republic of Korea Navy expressed an interest in acquiring up to 18 ex-USN S-3s to augment their current fleet of 16 Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft.[14] In August 2015, a military program review group approved a proposal to incorporate 12 mothballed S-3s to perform ASW duties; the Viking plan will be sent to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration for further assessment before final approval by the national defense system committee. Although the planes are old, being in storage kept them serviceable and using them is a cheaper way to fulfill short-range airborne ASW capabilities left after the retirement of the S-2 Tracker than buying newer aircraft.[15] Refurbished S-3s could be returned to use by 2019.[12] In April 2014, Lockheed Martin announced that they would offer refurbished and remanufactured S-3s, dubbed the C-3, as a replacement for the Northrop Grumman C-2A Greyhound for Carrier onboard delivery. The requirement for 35 aircraft would be met from the 91 S-3s currently in storage.[16] In February 2015, the Navy announced that the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey had been selected to replace the C-2 for the COD mission.[17] Naval analysts have suggested returning the stored S-3s to service with the U.S. Navy to fill gaps it left in the carrier air wing when it was retired. This is in response to the realization that the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy is producing new weapons that can threaten carriers beyond the range their aircraft can strike them. Against the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, carrier-based F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-35C Lightning IIs have about half the unrefueled strike range, so bringing the S-3 back to aerial tanking duties would extend their range against it, as well as free up more Super Hornets that were forced to fill the role. Against submarines armed with anti-ship cruise missiles like the Klub and YJ-18, the S-3 would restore area coverage for ASW duties. Bringing the S-3 out of retirement could at least be a stop-gap measure to increase the survivability and capabilities of aircraft carriers until new aircraft can be developed for such purposes.[13]
