October 26, 200421 yr By the term "all", do you mean international as well... Saw a few "J"s when we passed thru Nellis (Red Flag) this past weekend... They didn't seem to be grounded, but they(Aussie's) sure did park their aircraft like crap. We had to deploy a wing walker just to get by one on the opposite side of the ramp before departure. What a fiasco "Red Flag" is... 100's of fighters, bombers, numerous dishtops, plenty of 130's and tankers all clustered together leaving the Nellis like rats from a sinking ship that morning. Fairly enjoyed delaying a bunch of pointy nosed fellas after our departure with wake turbulence... Must be hot with the sun beating down, despite the environmental control and all. Hope our 2 Guard F-16 units we dropped off there kick some butt!
October 27, 200421 yr Saw some British J's flying combat missions down here in the Sandbox yesterday.. they beat the bejeezus out of our climb performance coming back out, so I don't think they're grounded.. Cheers! Linda
October 29, 200421 yr Thanks, guys. It was from an unreliable source, but I didn't have time to research it.
November 5, 200421 yr I just flew the J today, and heard the same rumor. Our sources also say that is a rumor. Late
