Will the Light Strike Squadron (LSS) be reactivated with the arrival of the PC-9M ?


I recall reading (somewhere?) that there were plans to allocated 4 x PC-9's to the Flying Training School and 4 x PC-9's to LSS.

Is this the case ?

*Sigh* we're going off topic.

FiannaFail, if your bothered about people taking you seriously, give us a timescale, give us a type.

I do admire your unflinching talk of these as yet elusive jets but come on, throw us a bone '<img'>

Use of the words "soon" and "jets" + similarly vague words are in future prohibited from you regarding aircraft ok? '<img'>

And come on, we want more stories about you fighting the luftwaffe in the 1940's, intercepting that wayward canberra in the 70's, escorting the pope and of course your mission to mars.

Just to put your minds at rest!!
There are no plans to re-activate LSS, take it from me, I've asked a thousand times!!!!
Dont get me wrong though, whose to say what will happen down the line? But for the forseeable future its a big "NO"!!

Emm, not that I'm one to question the links FF has with the Air Corps, I thought P. Doff or someone else who's in Baldonnel stated that all 8 PC-9's were being assigned to the Flight Training School?

all pc-9 will be assigned to BFTS with the goal of eventually getting all 100 or so aer corps pilot qualed in it. the hope is to get the classes that never did aerial gunnary or the advanced fouga stage through that training.

So it seems that the PC-9's will not be used for training with thw Army or NS but for 'in house' AC training duties only ?

Well in fairness all they ever really did for the army was overfly some prepared explosions for effect.

The 8 PC9's are all going to FTS and will be equipped with radios so the drivers can talk to the army people on the ground.

LSS is gone and all FF's promised Mirages and Phantoms will never bring it back.
