Well, the game I'm watching is going into overtime.
So
basic flight training has just completed.
Advanced flight training will probably begin later this month. This should be completed sometime between
Aug. - Oct. of this year.
All this training included
Logistical and Maintenace personnel and like the pilots, they are also entering the
advanced part of their training.
The F-16 they are operating are of a more advanced type than I thought they would receive.
Specifically, I speak of the
F-16 well now I can't as I "stepped on it" to get here. I can tell you from reading the article the Dutch are updating the ones the Ukraine will receive. There originally was thinking it would be the "
VIPER" I believe and am sure that's changed as that's
our most advanced version and the Dutch don't fly them.
That being said, it'll be more than capable in
both the air and ground attack modes. One of the Dutch upgrades will include a new attack radar and subsystems.
I would fully expect it to have
TI/GSR 40. It'll also be able to carry all the latest weapons air and ground the
F-16 IS CURRENTLY CERTIFIED TO USE.

I will post the article when it next "
pops up" on my screen for the specific type.
Regards,
And Happy New Year to all!
