The Kelonian Air Force have, upon close inspection of their wares, discovered a worrying lack of training and reserve aircraft - Wary of spending out on new aircraft which will never, realistically, see front-line service, they have elected to ask any willing nations if they have any suitable 'used' aircraft availible for purchase.

~ Dejani Ivanov, Undersecretary to the Commander of the Kelonian Air Force

The Demidian Government has 150 training aircraft currently not being used, they are the DT-155 Hawk.

The current price for each aircraft is 15 Million dollars. Our government has recently purchased new training aircraft and no longer require these craft.

My nation is mainly airforce based (im really non aggressive, use em for defencive purposes) and I have plenty of used aircraft, mainly fighters, that are still very good, just that im ready to bring in the newer modles.

Currently, I have about 500 F-14 Tomcats, non armed but still very good condition, and very durable, I am presenting $8 million each.

I also have about 1,000 F-15 Eagles, non armed, still durable, but most need new paint jobs (im too lazy to paint em, so i just keep em factory dark green) but they are in good enough condition to even go on the field with. Around $10.5 Million each are my prices for these.

Also for things yeh may need on the field, I have in reserve currently 6,000 F/A-18 Hornets, which are perfectly brand new (i keep my main aircraft in prime condition, hurts funds sometimes). I will sell these (only 3,000; funding for new modle, F/A-22 Raptor, but very low on funds for Airfroce) at about 50.5 Million dollars each. Main price upgrade is becouse of prime condition and barly any cratch. They are not armed (if you like, I may arm 100 of them, fully, to 8 air-to-air SPARROW missles for +$3 Million, or 4 air-to-ground HOPPER bombs, +$4 Million)

I have more, but i need trainers and operationals too! Plus if you like, we could set up relations and when I come across a few hundred aircraft that are out dated for field use, or that I find I could do with out at the moment, I could give yeh a tele.

Also, every trainer has two seats, one in back (instructor) and one in front (student pilot)

P.S.
I don't use the boards much unless I have a big purpose, if you wish to continue or agree with the trade, notify me via telegram so i will check here. Also, I might decrease the price of the Hornet's, that is, the price of my "banged" hornets are 20Million each, they have some damage to ether wings or launch bays, minor damage.

we have 20 F-94 Enhanced Starfire Interceptors. good condition, they have 1 Hardpoint on each Wing and on the left side of the Cockpit there is 20 mm Gun. they also have a modern radar set and a ECM pod permanatly afied to the centerline. wingtips have rocket pods permanantly attached. 2 million per plane.

Roycelandia has huge numbers of aircraft that would be ideal for training purposes for you- ranging from Biplanes to Jet Fighters.

Anything particular in mind?

IF you are interested we can offer
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3128981#3128981

All but Roycelandia (of these sellers) are unlikely to have any real experience (in their Air Force) of combat. The RVAF (Republican Volgan Air Force) is willing to sell you on some of our top-quality Su-47 Berkhut Fighters, or our lower level F-16's and Mirage 2000's. If you need a fighter-bomber, we have the Su-59, and in bombers we can offer the B-1B, or other advanced designs.

Just name the planes, we'll name the price.

A light attack aircraft that could easily be used for training - nothing too advanced, most people on here seem to be offering high-end jet fighters - something a little more advanced than the Hawk, but nothing into the realms of F-16s or other front-line quality aircraft - sorry, I should have made it more specific, but I was half-asleep at the time :P

F-94s aren't really what we're looking for - we looked into a lot of designs for what we needed and though they are cheap to produce, they lack some of the things we require from this aircraft - such as experience as a modern trainer, which the Mirage 2000 has a lot of.

Highly advanced aircraft such as the Su-47, B-1B, etc. are a little too high-tech for basic-to-medium training, but the Mirage 2000s interest us - We'd need between 120-200 of these aircraft, at a reasonable price.

Roycelandia's Imperial Aerospace Limited has a few aircraft that might be of interest to you...

Imperial Aerospace Spitfire Mk V

Roycelandia's famous Fighter aircraft, maintaining the appearance of its WWII counterpart, but heavily updated, utilising the latest in Technological Advances.
It's quite a lot larger than the WWII Spitfire to handle modern armaments and ECM measures, but still smaller than a standard Jet Fighter.

Crew: One (Pilot)
Armaments: 4x .50cal MGs, 4x 20mm Cannon, 8x Napalm/HE Rockets, 8xAA Missiles
Engine: IMC "Whirlwind" Turboprop
Top Speed: 742 km/h
Other Equipment: Ejection Seat, JATO Rockets (experimental), Long Range Tanks (optional)

Cost: $1.7million

Imperial Aerospace Harrier Jump Jet

Another triumph for IAe- VTOL (Vertical Take Off/Landing), incorporated into a top of the line Jet Fighter.

Colonial Aircraft Factory Tigershark Ground Attack/Trainer/Recon Biplane

Yes, It's a biplane. It's also made of Kevlar.

Crew: Two (Pilot and Rear Gunner/Observer)
Armaments: 2x 50cal MGs, 8x rockets, 2x .303MGs for Rear Gunner

We can modify most of these planes for Training if you so wish, and we are open to negotiation on price...

Kelonian States:
In terms of purely used aircraft we offer make you two offers:
The first is for our soon to be retired CFT-3A hawks and CNT-3B Goshawks (75hawks and 45 Goshawks) All have gone through a MLU fairly recently and have aproximatly 60-70% of thier flight hours left (for an additonal charge we could carry out a life extension program to restore them to 80%).
In terms of Equipment levels think about halfway between HAWK T1s and the new hawk AJTs (ie they have hotas and a hud but only 1 MFD for the radar and systems management the rest of the cockpit is dials etc).

We would accept offers of about $5-7million per aircraft (since they are completely surplus and have been replaced).

Alternatively we have 20 Twin seater JAS-39M Grippens each with 80% of their flying life left which we can let go for $10-12 million each.

Or we coudl sell you brand new CFT-3E Super Hawks with full galss cockpits, helmet mounted sights/controls and voice activation for a mere $11million each.

OOC: Sorry for the late reply, I forgot all about this thread! :oops:

IC:
Crookfur, we'd like to take those Goshawks off your hands for, say, $6m an aircraft? That would make the total $270m and, if you throw in the Grippens, we'll be willing to pay a round $500m for the package.

The Volga, would you care to 'name your price' for the Mirage 2000s? We are most definately interested in acquiring some of these aircraft for both training and reserve use - We'd also like to acquire around 20 Su-47s for testing, if you would be so kind as to name a price for those as well...
