J Models Grounded??

[Guest Chuck Sargent]

Heard a rumor all J Models were grounded as of last Friday. Any truth to this?

[Guest AirGuardian]

By the term "all", do you mean international as well...

Saw a few "J"s when we passed thru Nellis (Red Flag) this past weekend... They didn't seem to be grounded, but they(Aussie's) sure did park their aircraft like crap. We had to deploy a wing walker just to get by one on the opposite side of the ramp before departure. What a fiasco "Red Flag" is... 100's of fighters, bombers, numerous dishtops, plenty of 130's and tankers all clustered together leaving the Nellis like rats from a sinking ship that morning. Fairly enjoyed delaying a bunch of pointy nosed fellas after our departure with wake turbulence... Must be hot with the sun beating down, despite the environmental control and all. Hope our 2 Guard F-16 units we dropped off there kick some butt!

where did you hear this from?

[Guest HueyPilot]

The Js here at the Rock were flying as of last night.

Saw some British J's flying combat missions down here in the Sandbox yesterday.. they beat the bejeezus out of our climb performance coming back out, so I don't think they're grounded..

Cheers!

Saw one flying at Mobile the other day (USAF). Don't think it was grounded.

[Guest Chuck Sargent]

Thanks, guys.

It was from an unreliable source, but I didn't have time to research it.

I just flew the J today, and heard the same rumor. Our sources also say that is a rumor. Late
