New Fighters Needed! Contract Available! (MT)
To: All Aerospace Companies
From: the Delkorian Air Corps
Subject: New Aircraft
Message:
The Delkorian Military Air Corps have decided that the time has come to replace our long-serving F-5D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:North_American_F86-01.JPG) and F-5N3 (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h52/nx9100/fury.jpg) Eagle fighters with newer aircraft. The F-5D is the standard version, while the F-5N3 is the navalized version. Both aircraft air identical, with the exception of the stronger undercarage and arrestor gear of the navy version. Also, both are very reliable, low on maintainence, and easy to fly. These are all features that we require for a replacement. Two versions of the same aircraft are preferred, as this makes training and maintainence simpler and cheaper. The aircraft must be no larger then the F-5, as it must be capable of operations on out Chadek-class (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h52/nx9100/Chadek-classPatrolCarrier-1.jpg) escort carriers. The current requirement is for 216 carrier fighters, 300 standard fighters, and 80 two-seat trainers. We would prefer a custom-designed aircraft, over an existing design. All proposals will be reviewed my our M.A.C. Review Board, and prototypes will be tested onboard the carriers. Thank You.

We use a F-35 Carrier and Land Based VTOL or V/STOL fighters
to replace our Harrier Jump Jets.
I could provide you with specifications if you'd like.
And send you some test planes, I think you'll find them most superior
to any other plane in a RL Navy or Airforce,
Good Day,

From the World Conglomerate region and corporation
As you know the World Conglomerate is a region which is known for its high economic output and advanced production lines.
Although our specialty is in military and civilian vehicle technolgy we can have Yuri-15 built as soon as you would like to purchase the models.
Although they are not the top of the line, since we do not specialize in them, they are effective and due to their low cost can be produced in large numbers.
The Yuri-15 is built similar to the Super J-10 in its cababilities, however has been outfitted with more modern computer systems.
Each Yuri-15 Will start around at only 17,000,000 Yutos.
Bugs in the computer programs may still exist as back-talking seems to be common in most onboard computers. Fixes are still ongoing.

As I don't text people, or read short hand,
I've no idea what Bump means,
Is that a " Yes Delkor would like to buy our Jets?"
Or a "No thankyou"?
They are very good airplanes,

Caza de Superioridad Aérea Leve 32 "Buitre"
CSAL 32 "Buitre" Light Air Superiority Fighter
The Confederacíon de las Cooperativas Aéreas, an organization formed by the union of several cooperatives specialized in aerial technology, offers to the Delkorian Air Corps the CSAL-32 Buitre, a fast air superiority fighter of the Revolutionary Air Force of the Confederacy of the Third Spanish States and of the Confederation Internationale, and even though this fighter has yet to prove its worth in battle due to the peaceful nature of the Confederacy, tests proved that its performance is the same or superior to the performance of many latest generation fighters. Besides, the CSAL-32 Buitre also was developed with the secondary goal of operating as an interceptor fighter and is the next evolution of the class of fighters from which the American F-5 Freedom Fighter was one of the last and more known ones. The C C A can perform and/or supervise the implementation of the necessary infrastructure to manufacture 80% or more of all CSAL 32 fighters you might need beyond the three hundred initial fighters exported to your nation, should you accept this offer. Regarding the value of this contract, we can make a negotiation later personally, but I can inform you that the final value of the contract for the production rights for next five years can be of a value next to nine billions of dollars.

OOC: 'bump' is a post that simply moves my thread back to the 1st page for others to see it. it 'bumps' my thread back to the top. it's a common used tool in the forums.
Also, forgot to list the stats of my current F-5 Eagle. Navy plane is just about the same, but with folding wings, stronger undercarage, and arrestor gear.

Okay cool.
Which ever Jet you decide on, I humbly suggest that
a Semi-stealth fighter is your best bet for a replacement plane.
