Superb! Man, those close ups rock! And that Jaguar with the others taking off in the background... simply amazing! Well done!

What camera do you use?

Jaguar...godbye...we will never forget you....well the RAF EF2000 and Armee de le Aire Rafale B pilots will but we won't!

Isn't it still in service with India and some other nations?

I think India and Bolivia are still using the Jag.

But hey, it's a new age.
And the EF isn't the worst looking plane either.

Some of these look remarkably familiar, can't think why! Grin

Certainly not Bolivia. Perhaps you're thinking of Ecuador?

The only other Jag operators were France, India, Ecuador and Nigeria. The French have retired theirs, the Indians haven't, and I haven't a clue about the other two.

Yeah it isn't all that ugly (well the two seater is)

Oman has them as well. And all I know of Omani Jags is that RAF pilots would fly them during the Gulf War or when the RAF would be down there. (I got that from one of my Aviation Books)

From what I see (on Wiki) is that there is no info on the Ecuadorian Jags not even broken links to squadrons.

D'oh. Forgot them!

As for Ecuador, courtesy of Scramble:

Quote:

The Jaguar is no longer in operational service with the Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana. FAE-329 is one of only four single-seaters left in storage.

Wikipedia says they still have a few in service, although it could be referring to the ones in storage.

Well I really don't read Wiki. I just skim through look at the pics and say "I want that on my FS9! Time to go to SimV!"
