The following were previously sent to me, Victor Feltes:

Submitted by Pedro Silva:

- France is listed as having EF200, but is not part of the EF2000 consortium: it developed the Rafale because it did not want to be part of EF2000. The absence of EF200 in France's inventory can be confirmed in http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRTypen/FRRafale.htm BTW, EF2000 will only be operational from 2003 onwards. So even though the design exists, no
country should start with them... The same goes for other advanced fighters, like the JSF.

- F-16 and A-7 are both listed as generation 2 aircraft. That's OK, F-16 went operationl in 1974, A-7 was in Vietnam... But F-16 is so superior to A-7 that its Techs should be far superior, and they are not.

- Oman should have Tornado ADV aircraft. This data can be confirmed at http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/tornado.htm
