50 x F18s

Postby Mayfly » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:54 am

According 'Wales online' there will an exercise in Wales April - May time involving up to 50 F18s if anyone has some spare time!! \:D/

Not sure where they will be operating from - but could be carriers.

According to the article, Cornwall will see the most activity. Looks like Spitfire will see some action at last. :)

First part of a big plan for America to take over the UK and call us the 51st State, they are starting small with Wales and Cornwall....thats why our air force has been reduced in considerable size, air superiority is a must, also the American Navy has a fondness for Welsh Sheep =)) =)) =))
