I reckon the RAF would only come over here for the beer as the Aer Corp have no equipment compared to the RAF and that is not the Aer Corp's fault but the present and former Governments ,the fact that they were FF/PD as well should not cast any bad light on them. Mind U Bertie gave himself and his cronies a good pay rise and f**k the rest of us.

They do, but only for things like SAR training, I heard that a couple of Irish pilots were given a brief course in the Tornado but have no idea if its true.
They'd offer us training if we were buying planes from them.

The co-op regularly on SAR training. Most recently involving the CASA maritime patrol aircraft, I think. Which, would be the Air Corps most impressive piece of kit right now. Type of thing with all its radars that might spot UFOs in the dead of night over the Atlantic and call the RAF for help! Hey, I could get good at this.
Is the casa equipped with radar capable of detecting airborne threats?
Also does anyone know if the raf and air corps use metric or imperial measurement I know commercial aviation uses imperial still for altitude and range anyway
The CN-235s radar can be used to detect certain aerial threats , for instance there was a pair of Marineflieger Tornado's here for cat and mouse type training a month or two back...they'd try and sneak up on the Casa which would promptly paint them.

Same thing as far as I know. Trying to out fox the CASA. Wasn't there a post in the last year about alot of co-op going on in regard to all of this Euro defence coperation stuff that's happening? Also quiet skies were perfect for US C-130s doing training here earlier this year.
