얼마전에 랭리에 마지막 F-22A가 배치되었습니다. 또한 일본과 우리나라에서 공동훈련을 하고 미국에선 영국,호주등이 참가하는 레드플랙에도 F-22A가 참가한다고 합니다. 이제 본격적으로 우방국들에게 선보이기 시작하는군요. F-22A를 이렇게 선보이는 이유는 F-35의 판촉에도 효과를 가져오리라 예상합니다. 5세대 전투기를 선보임으로써 5세대전투기의 능력에 반신반의 하던 국가들이 본격적으로 구매에 나서도록 할 계획인가 봅니다. 물론 F-22A를 살 여건이 안되는 국가들은 같은 5세대 전투기인 F-35를 구매할 수 밖에 없을 것이니까요.(물론 우리는 F-35보다 F-22A를 먼저 사와야 겠지요.)
만약 영국이 유로파이터를 몰고 온다면 볼만하겠네요. 5세대와 4.5세대 전투기를 비교해 볼수있는 거 보다도 같은 수퍼크루징이 가능한 기체들이니...
그리고 캐나다가 C-17 클럽에 가입했다고 합니다. 우리도 가입할 수 있었으면 좋겠네요. 아래는 관련 기사입니다.

Red Flag ramps up - Raptor debuts with stealth sisters
The first Red Flag exercise this year, dubbed "Colonial Flag," will begin at Nellis Tuesday, marking the 32nd year for Red Flag operations.
11-01-2007 - Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. -- This is the first of three scheduled Red Flags for this year, and for the first time, the F-22/A Raptor is participating.
More than 200 aircraft, including the F-22/A and about 5,200 military personnel from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia, are taking part in the training. There will be two periods scheduled during this exercise with each period lasting two weeks.
Capt. James Govin, 414th Combat Training Squadron flight commander and team chief for this Red Flag, said everyone is looking forward to this particular exercise because new training has been built into the combat scenarios.
"We have some pilots who have never been exposed to the concept of Red Flag, and they will certainly gain experience working with other airframes and crews," he explained. "But, there will be some pilots returning after a two-year absence, and it's going to be different for them. The scenarios will be the same, but we've included close air support training and dynamic targeting. We always remind ourselves that Red Flag is designed to fight the next big war so these new additions to the exercise will really prepare them for their aerospace expeditionary force deployments."
Captain Govin explained the F-22's role in its first Red Flag exercise.
"The Raptor will be flying in Red Flag for the first time, and its role will be primarily air-to-air fighter escort for the Flag's air-to-ground strike aircraft, but will also demonstrate its air-to-ground capabilities," he said.
"The strike aircraft will include the B-2 Spirit, the B-1 Lancer, Royal Air Force Tornadoes, F-15E Strike Eagle, the F-111 Aardvark and the F-117 Nighthawk," noted Captain Govin.
Captain Govin also reported that the AH-64 Apache Army helicopter is returning after several years' of absence in Red Flag.
"It's been some time since we've had the Apache here, and the Utah National Guard will be flying them for the exercises," he said.
The Nevada Test and Training Range is the best location for an exercise of this caliber because of the range's size and remote position, according to Red Flag participants.
Its sheer vastness has the size to accommodate many aircraft at one time, allowing for a realistic training experience for the more than 200 aircraft scheduled.
Canada Signs Contract for 4 C-17s

DID's Canada Day 2006 article "Canada Joining the Anglosphere C-17 Club" covered that country's intention to own strategic lift aircraft. The government wanted to offer a supplement to the rental of Russian IL-76s and super-giant AN-124s under NATO's SALIS partnership et. al., and get themselves out of the international queue. To achieve that, they planned to spend C$ 1.8 billion (USD$ 1.6 billion) for total procurement costs, plus C$ 1.6 billion anticipated for 20 years of in-service support. The contract was conducted as an Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN), in which the government picks its desired winner (the C-17) and asks contractors to show it something that wows them more. Obviously, unless you're the preferred choice, the odds are rather poor - even a leased BC-17 solution with "Canada first" priority and basing was rejected as unqualified.
In October 2006, therefore, "Canada Begins C-17 Buy With $1.3B for Equipment and Support" covered a number of the key ancillaries: engines, defensive systems, spares, et. al. Now Boeing and the Canadian government have formalized the direct commercial sale (as opposed to a foreign military sale) of four C-17 airframes to complete the contract. The planes may be available as early as fall-winter 2007, as a result of a production order swap and accompanying emergency usage rights negotiations with the USAF.
