Money to save USA from Troubles in Iraq? No Thanks we have more
serious way to spend our money... For example to build a common
European defence to definitively kill NATO.


By buying F-16s, Apaches and C-130s?????
Great move......


Talk with the polish... Italy is partecipating to the Typhoon and a-400
programs


....but just started to receive interim F-16s and bought C-130Js a few years
back.

Think about we have yet F-104 for air defence (the only country in the world
i suppose) F-16 is only a leasing and we bought c-130j because our c-130h
were to old to stay in service for the next ten years...

Nope, the F-104s left a few years back, to be replaced temporarily by
leased UK Tornado F.3s, and now the F-16s, pending the operational
arrival of Typhoon.

Peter, the Italian F-104s never left service. They are still in front-line
service sitting QRA. During 2003 some of the AMI F-104s visited UK airshows:

Well, once again I learn something new. Cheers TJ. So if the F-104s
were staying on, what was the role of the F-3s? A partial replacement
for some life expired F-104s a supplement to them, or another role?
