okay, no PAK FA!
Typhoon would be the best for us in my own opinion.

 Custodian : Malaysia BuNo : 123456 Modex : M32-06 Location : St Augustine FL. Contact : Sean Campbell News article : A-4 Gave Grumman the boost it needed Thursday, October 31, 1985 Supplement To The St. Augustine Record, Florida, USA -No named author- " When Grumman St. Augustine delivers the last of 40 A-4 jet fighters to Malaysia by the end of the year, it will mark the completion of the company's biggest contract to date and a project that put the local plant on the world map of the aviation service industry. Company officials credit their successful completion of the $200-million job with establishing Grumman St. Augustine's reputation in the industry. It proved that " We have the capability " to work on " virtually any " tactical airplane in the nation's airborne arsenal, according to corporate President, Joe Walter. The 30-year old A-4 Skyhawks had been bought by the Malaysian Air Force from a mothballed fleet at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. The planes were disassembled into engine, tail, wings, and fuselage and the components were shipped to St. Augustine for further disassembly and overhaul, then rebuilt and flown to Malaysia on an 11-stop ferry flight of more than 11,000 miles. The work included a complete paint stripping and cleaning, replacement of all defective parts and various modifications to modernize the vintage fighters. Each plane got a new set of wiring. It's electronics gear was replaced with an up-to-date avionics package including a totally new instrument panel for the cockpit, and the weapons system was replaced as well. Grumman also converted six of the single-seat jets into two-seat trainers. The cockpit modification was done at Grumman's plant in Bethpage, NY, but the new airframe kits were installed here [St. Augustine]. The first test flight of the rebuilt Skyhawks was in April 1984. The following July four Malaysian Air Force Officers arrived to begin training as flight instructors, and the first flight of one of the trainers was in October. Delivery of the first refurbished planes began in December, and Grumman won a $220,000 bonus from the Malaysian Government by beating a March 31 deadline for delivery of 16 Skyhawks. In fact, the 17th A-4 was in Malaysia by April 1. The company rewarded it's employees, then numbering about 820, with tax-paid cash bonuses of up to $200 each. Besides the profits resulting from the A-4 project, Grumman St. Augustine enjoyed some spinoff benefits by way of improvements to it's technological capacities. For instance, the company acquired a computerized electronic testing system for checking newly installed wiring in the jets. To operate the new electronic gear, Grumman's workers installed hundreds of miles of wiring in each Skyhawk. Manual testing to ensure each connection was properly made would cost thousands of dollars worth of man-hours. [Author has marginal understanding of topic/What the author was trying to say is that the computerized system was able to make quick work of testing the hundreds of miles of wires installed in each Skyhawk, as opposed to manual testing which would have been very costly. -Sean Campbell/A-4 Project Team]. Thanks to the A-4 project, though, Grumman now has a machine that can plug into a test socket on the plane [Wiring Harness Quick Disconnect/Cannon Plugs. -Sean Campbell-A-4 Project Team] and check all of its electrical connections in minutes. Walter is hopeful of landing another A-4 contract next year, this one with the Government of Kuwait to refurbish 30 Skyhawks. " Our customers are doing the advertising, and that's the best kind you can get, " he remarked. And that's why one of the most common bumper stickers seen on the roads of St. Johns County announces: " I love the A-4. " Provided by Sean Campbell : " You can just see the top of my head and dark sunglasses just below the DANGER stencil on the intake. " Sources : http://www.a4skyhawk.org/ |

Gov't begins discussions on easing self-imposed arms export ban
Politics Dec. 18, 2011 - 07:23AM JST TOKYO — The Japanese government this week began a series of meetings aimed at easing its self-imposed ban on arms exports and related technologies to allow more joint development and production of weapons with other nations. Senior vice ministers of the foreign and defense ministries met to discuss the policy. The new measure would enable shipments to countries with which Japan co-develops arms and stimulate the domestic defense industry by promoting joint development and production of key arms, such as next-generation fighter jets, with the U.S. and Europe. It would also cut the nation’s defense budget However, Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura told a news conference that Tokyo would continue to prohibit arms exports to nations that are state sponsors of terrorism, violate the human rights of their citizens or lack sufficient controls over arms sales. Japan currently bans almost all weapons exports, except for special cases such as those relating to the joint development of a missile defense system with the United States. - Japan Today - |

QUOTE MiG-29N mungkin dinaik taraf FIRMA aeroangkasa Rusia, Mikoyan sedia untuk memasang sistem avionik dan persenjataan termoden untuk pesawat MiG-29 milik TUDM. KUALA LUMPUR – Firma aeroangkasa Rusia, Mikoyan dikatakan sudah bersedia untuk menaik taraf 16 pesawat pejuang MiG-29N Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM) termasuk proses memasang sistem avionik, radar dan persenjataan termoden. Cadangan menaik taraf pesawat tempur itu kepada versi Mikoyan MiG-29UPG merupakan opsyen Rusia kepada TUDM untuk memanjangkan jangka hayat selain mampu beroperasi setanding pesawat generasi baharu. Menurut sumber industri, kos keseluruhan program itu dijangka tidak membebankan TUDM kerana ia melibatkan kerjasama strategik Rusia dengan industri aeroangkasa India, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). |

The LIMA 2013 in March will be very closed to Aero India in February and Avalon Airshow Australia in late February.
Hopefully, we are able to see the RMAF EC725 and the Airbus A400M for LIMA 2013. This post has been edited by xtemujin: Dec 19 2011, 06:31 PM |
