  1. I'm interested, but have a few thoughts. Even in a what-if, I'm having trouble seeing Argentina providing jets, when their Mirage/Finger fleet was already in the single digits in 2010 or 2011. Or any of the South American countries for that matter just because of how few jets that they have. Israel would be a cool addition.

     

    What would the Red Air be? Angolan aircraft, Venezuelan Su-30s and Libyan aircraft? Perhaps Qaddafi orders Libyan aircraft to fly to Angola during Operation Odyssey Dawn much in the same way Iraqi aircraft flew to Iran during Desert Storm? 

     

    That could be the reason why the UN request goes unanswered because the usual actors are too busy bombing Libya.


  2. Well, after nearly forty years of service with the French Navy, it looks as though the Dassault Super Etendard has finally been retired. The aircraft took part in one last cruise against ISIS over the winter before making its final carrier launch in March. It was officially withdrawn from use in July.

     

    The aircraft continues to serve with Argentina in limited numbers.

     

    As for the video, it's a classic French tactical aviation video. Low level awesomeness and good on boards.
