Fantasy Air Corps

[clan]

We all heard of fantasy football.
Well how about this, Wille O, has given us Euro 100m to spend on aircraft for the air Corp. It can be new second hand, but using prices there or there abouts. write your list of what to buy with prices, and if you have them dealers selling them.
On you list you can, include existing aircraft, with upgrades swaps etc.
Sorry back to work and I am bored.

Ah crap, when I saw fantasy AC I thought you were going to give us a couple of billion to play with. 100 million isnt that much. It wouldn`t even pay for both the pc9 and heli contracts. If I only had 100 million, I`d buy more UH`s ie the new Hueys or blackhawks.
Now if I had billions..............

[clan]

I thought about more money, but then I thought keep it realistic as possible. And I cannot see the bean counters letting anymore then 100m out of the coffers. A mixture of new/Second hand might be the order of the day

That time of year already?

[clan]

Yeah January, usually happens just after Christmas every year.

if it is true you can get refurbished C130's from Marshalls for 10m each.
So far I have
2 x C130- 20M
5 x Super Puma Ex SA 12.5M
6 x Cessna 208  8m
2 x Casa 212 5M
4 x Dauphin upgrades 8m
4 x Gazelle 1.4m
10 x 39Z 4M

Not a bad start, all the above are re-furbished or low hours except the 208 which are basically brand new. Bearing in mind I was going to keep 20m for spare parts.
I am looking for Cheap Kiowa, to use as gun ships or Hughes 500D or 369 Little Birds to act as support for the AB139's

Excuse my ignorance, but what is "39Z 4M" ?
(Did you mean L-39ZA?)

[clan]

Yeah, forgot the "L", I was looking for cheap, Alpha jets or Hawks, but I only found a single Gnat

[clan]

Before someone says a Gnat is a Hawk, I know my point was I could only find one for sale

[Imshi-Yallah]

A folland gnat is not a hawk.

[clan]

The description I read said Hawker Siddley Gnat or more commonly called Hawk

Hawker Suddeley bought folland who in turn with the British Aircraft corporation and Scottish Aviation joined to become known as British Aerospace who make the Hawk.
Not the point of the thread.

So a Model T is the same thing as a Focus then?
