Seth K 3 Report post Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) They need F-14/15/16 I'm sure USAF hv tonnes of them at the dessert as well....... Malaysia dun need strong air force, they need good diplomatic relationship that's all, a few fighters for air emergency etc. What the most they can do with the fighters? Launch missiles?

mokhzani 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 Sometimes its not the aircraft at all. Most of the accidents involving Hawk has to do with the way it was flown. Low level strike which is inherrently dangerous in any aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
