Alan Warnes Discloses

[Windjammer]

Thanks for the great news Windjammer! June issue of AFM is only a week away and I can't wait to get it. The prospect of a JF-17 supplement later on is just mouth watering. Given Alan's lengthy stay I expect we may be treated to other goodies in forthcoming issues.

Alan Warnes has contributed so much to promoting Pakistan's image and projecting the PAF ..... the guy deserves a medal or honourary nationality .... or something.

I think there is a misunderstanding here, the High mark article will appear in the issue which comes out in June, it's impossible to include any thing more than a news item in the imminent copy of the AFM.

Back in 2009, ACM Rao Qamar Suleman said:
Following the signing of a contract, it will take two to two-and-a-half years before the first FC-20 aircraft is received.
So time frame for the induction of FC-20 (J-10) depends on signing of the contract.

The earliest induction date being mentioned in some circles is 2005,
By this time the JF-17 should cross the 100+ mark, pioneered into several squadrons hence giving room to PAF to focus on other feasible projects.

I think he is trying to point out the author of the book here.
In case some members were not familiar with the name.

Lucky fellow got to fly in an F-16, but he is an ardent fan of the F-7.

YouTube - PAF's High Mark 2010 exercise enters second phase - Reaching for the Skies

Alan is saying that such live fire exercise are not held in Europe but I think I read several times live fire demonstrations at CAZAUX air base in France. Singapore air force also trains there. I am not sure if quite recently live fire demos have been ended in CAZAUX.

Since Alan just returned a couple of weeks earlier, it would have been impossible to add to the current publishing, however the AFM due out in the first week of June will contain the 12 page article. Regards.

Yes indeed, all the new F-16s will have the CFTs, but as i said, due to the extra drag, they will only be adopted for long range missions. In other words you wouldn't see every Block-52 flying around with these tanks fitted.
