the combat air wing is problematic, really i think taht there are more pressing items to buy....they navy was overdue a major spend by about 20 year i reckon.
and though i think it would've been perfect if we were able to secure that squadron of f-16's that were on offer.....what options do we have now?
realistically...the air force needs a c-130 upgrade/replacement
