Question for all ... I am sure it was file footage but could have been something recent ...

On Fox News a few minutes ago they showed some footage of a P-3 and 2 Hawker Hunters taxiing and taking off in the Pacific somewhere, Osan or Kadena sorry I couldn't really tell.

My question is anyone aware of a private company that may operate these Hunter's under Gov't contract in the region ?

Hey Ollie,

Didn't Northern Lights get out of the Hunter business and sell their birds to ATAC here down south?

Nope, Northern Lights are doing good, with contracts for the USN in Japan and Hawaii and the French Air Force in France!

They ferry their aircraft which are then flowned by military pilots.

I'll try to get an update from a guy I know who's friend with them.

:wink:
