Answer the question....when last did you slap your wife? Huh small boy? Do not waste my time. I have utterly and completely demolished you....hence i told you to read my reply a few times until your stu.pidity sinks in.

You now have the nerve to ask "deep and reaching" questions, pretending as if you have any clew of what you're talking about. You again are deadly silent about 8 pilots in 2012, when you claimed 6.

In Nigeria the only way to get to 18 is 9 + 9? Not 12 + 6, 14 + 4, 13 + 5.....only 9 + 9?

The number 9 ONLY comes from this forum. Nowhere else in the entire universe is the number 9 linked with SAAF Gripen pilots besides THIS forum. And then you have the guts to demand proof to counter claims literally pulled out of your a.ss

Actually quite disgusting and pathetic.

FighterPilot:



Don't forget Master Barlow trained your unskilled pilots.

agaugust:


Let me make brain work easy for you.

Hawk has not radar. Gripen has radar.

Hawk jet does NOT do air to air combat, it is a trainer/ light ground attack jet, so how does a Hawk pilot enter a Gripen and fly air to air combat sortie against an F-7 jet pilot that has trained to fire air to air missiles and do jet vs jet combat maneuver plus dogfight ?

A Hawk pilot flying a Gripen to do air combat against air superiority enemy jets is going to die young
.

agaugust:


Eben trains pilots? He was with SAAF as Colonel ?

stillchris:


demolish who? the only person demolished is yourself. hence the emotional rants.

answer simple question and then we can go further from there.

do aircrew comprise of only fighter pilots? yes or no

FighterPilot:


You will never understand because you are not in aviation industry. All our combat pilots used to fly supersonic cheetahs and now the thing is that before they could go on to the gripens they familiarise them with gripen cockpit on the hawks. It looks the same. What you see on the gripen is what you see on the hawks cockpit. That's why hawks is just the training platform for gripen fighter.

FighterPilot:


Yes, he recruited some former SADF pilots as his crew to train pilots of less privileged countries such as Angola, Nigeria et al.

agaugust:


If you don't have qualifying hours in the air on a particular aircraft, you are NOT combat qualified.

You are a probably toilet cleaner in aviation industry.

FighterPilot:


You see qualifying hours is another thing, but all our combat pilots ( former Cheetahs) have so far graduated to gripens.

They all have the experience of sitting on the Gripens cockpit.

agaugust:


Show us one ex-SADF pilot flying Nigerian combat aircraft, show us his I.D and prove he is South African.....we are waiting !
.

agaugust:
SAAF pilots are only qualified for sitting down inside Gripen cockpit NOT flying combat :

Confirmed by SAAF officer below !

I love the above confession of truth....post of the week
.[/size]

FighterPilot:


Oh!! I forgot English is not your language. Sorry!!!

Definitely, yes, meaning they all can fly gripens and operate it to any mission

Henry120:


At present the SAAF can only muster six qualified Gripen pilots who only have 150 flying hours available across the whole Gripen squadron this year, according to Maynier. The annual target for fighter flying hours was 250 for the 2011/2012 period, according to the Department of Defence’s most recent Annual Report.

SAAF only has 6 qualified Gripen Pilots, and only 9 Gripen Pilots of a total Gripen crew of 18.

Henry120:


So, why don't you provide evidence that you have more than 9 Pilots?

stillchris:


no patches. stop talking like a novice

that's a silly excuse.

you signed the contract in 98. so definitelt had 10 years to train more than 9 pilots before the aircrafts are delivered.

now it's 17 years and you are stuck with just 9

Henry120:


Nope, you haven't.

stillchris:


by word of mouth? sure.. we'll believe whatever you say

Patchesagain:


According to testimony at the arms deal commission, 18 Gripen aircrew (navigators and pilots) have been trained up to operational status to date.

http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31821

Henry120:


Nope. You train pilots before deliveries commence dummy.


16 years = 9 Pilots for 26 Planes, Shame!


With dunder-heads like you in the SAAF, i'm far from surprised.

agaugust:


Show me SABC and MNET long range airborne radar, FLIR, and electronic warfare equipment
.

agaugust:


English is the official language of Nigeria
.

Patchesagain:


When were the Gripen delivered?

In 7 years we have trained 18 Gripen aircrew and 52 Hawks aircrew -

SAAF has more jet-qualified pilots than the Nigerian Aiforce has jets!!

Henry120:


When did you sign the Gripen Contract?



It sure as hell didn't take Czech republic 16 years to raise 9 Pilots for their Gripens.

agaugust:


[s]Pilot qualification is done yearly. If 8 pilots are combat qualified in 2012, they can become disqualified in 2013 if they fly less than the required number of hours for 2013.

As at today 2015, NO single SAAF Gripen pilot has enough flying hours to qualify for combat, but we do agree you have 9 pilots even though they are NOT technically combat qualified[/s]
.

Henry120:


Who says you have more than 9?

Henry120:


You have 9 Pilots, and of that number only 6 are actually qualified to fly that Jet.

FighterPilot:


Did I ever said anything about the official language of Nigeria? You see why I always say you have a poor comprehension skills. All that I said is that English is not your language, meaning it is not your mother's tongue. That is why you find it hard to understand it. When someone says this in English, you always have a totally different understanding.

agaugust:



Bwhahahahaha

I cannot stop laughing at South African 33% brain educational system failure.

Oh my sides This is fvcking hilarious !

@Patches failed comprehension in school like every other South African citizen, he scored 33%

See, what your own source says :

1. SeaSpray radar is appropriate to medium aircraft like ATR-42, ATR-72, AW159 or other aircraft, it does NOT say these aircraft use it !

2. It finally gave you a list of aircraft that uses Sea Spray radar and it is in service ATR-72, can't you interpret one simple paragraph ?

So your Soweto education has embarrassed you again here....oh my sides .....ricb cracking laughter

Show us a source that says ATR-42 uses Sea Spray radar ! Show us now !

#Sweating Patches Now Desperate

agaugust:


Briefing room lecture is NOT = flying hours.

Actually proves our point, SAAF Gripen pilots are always on the ground inside classroom NOT flying in the air.

Nice suicide post by Patrick....I love it

[s]Your judiciary issued a court order and one man violated it, your 200,000 Southie security forces could not effect an arrest !

A slap on the face of South African court system, remember the Nigerian weapons money $15 million that your court sized, you cowards also released that money back to Nigeria out of fear. We bought MRAP and SAMIL trucks with the cash you siezed and boasted to spend for christmas, but fear of Nigeria made 50 million South Africans tremble and handover our money

South Africa fears everybody :

1. Fears Nigeria
2. Fears Seleka rebels
3. Fears Rhino Poachers
4. Fears Sudan
5. Fears everbody.....50 million cowards

Sudan too has slapped the mouth of South Africa big time..... [/s]
