Spartan C-27J Display at AAD 2012 - Onboard

Postby ZS-NEL » Wed Sep 26, 2012 12:39 pm

I have uploaded the Spartan display to www.infozone.tv on the home page. vhpy

Thanks to a very friendly and helpful Italian crew who mounted our action cams on the Spartan for their very last display. Enjoy!

Laai daai C27J met 5ton vrag en 5 ton brandstof en kyk of hy nogsteeds uit Waterkloof kan kom. (**) Hy is baie mooi en doen goeie kuns vlieg wanneer hy leeg is maar dis ook al

Waarom so negatief? Wou jy 'n cockpit visit gehad het wat toe nie toegestaan is nie? :lol: :lol:

Kyk na die PoH se syfers en besluit dan oor die wysheid van jou "kan nie uit Waterkloof kom met vol vrag nie" stelling.

Nie negatief nie net nie die regte vliegtuig vir ons nie en nee hy kan nie uit Waterkloof met vrag en brandstof nie!

JvTonder, I'me out of touch. What is needed, now, by SAAF?

I believe the Grippens also have a huge shortcoming, namely range. Not at all suitable for a "cuntry" the size of SA. Full burn will hardly make Pta to Cpt on 1 tank ?

Roel Saaf been looking for replacements for the CASA, that's why the C27J was here.

Grippen a good aircraft but yes was designed and build for a country the size off the Freestate I believe. So yes range a issue.

Waar het jy die hot & high syfers gekry? Ek kry net dat hulle sê "The aircraft's propulsion system allows the C-27J Spartan to access a wide range of airfields, including short, unprepared strips in hot and high-altitude conditions while transporting heavy loads. The Spartan can perform 3g tactical airlift operations under severe conditions." en dat sy SL take-off run met max weight so 1900ft is, en Waterkloof is oor die 10 000ft. Maak nie sin nie.
