PAC/JF-17 - DxB Air Show 2019

[Trailer23]

That' a clean canopy.
Did you went to SAAB???

This one was actually displayed at the Boeing Pavilion & I also met the Chief Test Pilot (formally of the USAF).

The narrative was that Lockheed Martin and/or others didn't stand a chance on winning the contract for the T-X Trainer Contest. Boeing went full throttle to win this one.

Is this a coincidence @Khafee ? M2K on the poster? Remember the other day we all were talking bout if any M2K maintenance at PAC

Bro,

With the planned upgrades the M2K-9's are getting, they are not going anywhere.

The Abu Dhabi AF M3/M5's were MRO'd at PAC, and then ultimately gifted to PAF when the M2K's came in.

You completely misunderstood my subject sir. Remember we were talking about Egyptian M2K maintenance at Kamra earlier...

You know I went there & spoke to a guy, who was directing me to the Project Manager of the JF-17 - but the guy was on his cellphone & just walked away in a hurry to the AVIC/CATIC Chalet or some place. I didn't see the dude again.

But the guy whom I was chatting with earlier said that it MAY be a POD - as you had pointed out earlier.

Here are some closer pictures of it from every angle possible...

Why isn't France offering an AESA upgrade for the Mirage 2000? Is it not cost effective?

Nope, the pod in the model is different and longer.

I feel like saying whoopie woo like Scooby Doo.

Look, i'm pretty sure that I may of been one the last guys the Members of PDF would've wanted to cover the Air Show in regard to getting info 'cause I don't really know d!ck about the various types of Radars, their Source Coding, Missiles & their types - but yeah the guy was/is from AVIC/CATIC.

He didn't know know much about the JF-17 'cause maybe he specialized on other Types (Transport, AWACS, Trainers and/or Helicopters) - but those two quotes did come out of his mouth.

Now he may be winging it when he said, "It will be!", but the slip of the "J-10P" was clearly accidental which he either regrets, or assumes that I didn't pick up on it.

Bear in mind that PAF is surly attempting to make a push for the F-16's (Block 72 or Used) - but if that fails, the J-10 must be considered as: Plan B

I think the Air Show is a washout because of the Rain today in the UAE. Not sure whats going on in that part of Dubai. Sun is out here in Sharjah and i'm planning on going down there tomorrow the Final Day of the Air Show.

Moving on...

Although the T-50A is a superb aircraft.

Dassault will not allow it.

Talk was related to past...

 

[The Eagle]

Doesn't looks like F-7PG to me or is it badly designed model.

@The Eagle - Yes I brought the grammar error to their attention. Not sure if they're interested.

Wouldn't express but surely got the message.

Or just that, due to reflaction on glass from a certain angle, it appears as it is suffering from polio
