Jaguar Retires


The Jaguar ground attack aircraft is being retired from RAF service next month after thirty four years of protecting the realm.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant

  1. Ah well. So we're using Eurofighters from now on, right? That's what the internet says. The aircraft that's so easy to fly, that if you can fly it in a simulator, you can fly it in real life.

  2. Boy, everybody's been upgrading recently.

    The USAF just put the F-22 Raptor in service two years ago, and are already working on the F-35 Lighting II (twice as good as the orginal, I gather).

    Now if only we can get the friggin' army to finally replace its Vietnam-era small arms, we'd be in buisness.
