Yeah the one here isn't armed 100% of the time. But it's held here with everything it needs just incase of an emergancy, Like if a high profile flight is coming in they deploy it as a care package for said flight (and they can't get one from Williamtown). I hear that they want to have a landing strip @ JOC intime for the F35 Lightning Launch, as the F/A-18 is due to be decommisioned soon.

Edit: the one here i believe they rotate from Williamtown i don't know if it is the same plane all the time. But i see 1 at least 1 time a week.

Hmm one of the Varients of the F-35 can takeoff vertically and land vertically. So they may not even put in a runway.

Australia is not getting the vertical lift JSF's they're only for the marines from memory and I think UK is having a few. We've already have a handful of them, but they're currently in the states being tested/worked on but they are AU JSF's - be quite a few more years before we start seeing them around Australia.

Yeah i know full deployment is for 2020. Prob more like 2025. Guess we will find out.

My point was there should be a jet in Canberra ready always coz 15mins is a lot of time. Theres a parliament house. Good target.

15mins from Williamtown to Canberra - it would be a lot of time if the enemy was flying in Canberra, but as I explained in a previous post - enemy jets wouldn't get to Canberra in time for that. Too much radar etc. It's not like the US/EU where you can look across the field and be looking into a different country.

F 35 is a dual purpose bike plane.

:down:

F 22 has gone down the same path as the Comanche

Theres only so much g force a body can take, and heaps of older fighters are that good.

Unmanned is the new thing.

So wish the Comanche went into full production :(

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
