Saudi Arabia doesn't want to move its advanced F-15-S fighter-bombers away from the Tabuq airbase, which is near Israel, in apparent violation of US assurances to Israel when the US-made aircraft were sold to the Saudis in 1991, Army Radio is reporting.
Saudi Arabia put the planes at the Tabuq base during the Iraq War to keep them away from the military action in Iraq. Army Radio said continued deployment of F-15-S planes at Tabuq is an apparent violation of American promises to Israel.

in apparent violation of US assurances to Israel when the US-made aircraft were sold to the Saudis in 1991 Sound familiar? This roadmap suicide plan also has "assurances" to Israel that its safety is in mind and that it will remain safe after the creation of this PLO terror state. Yeah right. "Never again will the Jewish people entrust their security in a foreign power." Will this be a excerpt from an article in a decade or so?
Palestine doesn't want to withdraw from what was once the State of Israel, in apparent violation of US assurances to Israel that the Palestinians supported having a state next and NOT in place of the Israeli state, when Israel (now nonexistant) signed on to President Bush's roadmap to "peace."

I served with a USAF instructor pilot who trained Saudi and Jordanian pilots in air to air combat. He said, "I always trained my students to break down and to the right in a dogfight. If I ever have to go up against one, I'll know right where he's going to be."

Imagine IDF F-15's vs. Saudi F-15's.

They'll be bombed on the ground in the next war anyway. Saudi "pilots" are no match for Israelis. Not even close. I would love to see them in action, as the Arab world is defeated for the final time, and the House of Saud reduced to the camel-jockeys they were before the imbicile FDR made them "royalty".

Saudi Arabia won't move fighter-bombers from base near Israel. The only usefulness Arab-owned fighter planes have is to fly their prince-pilots to the disco's quickly, anyway.

Much depends on the type of engines and electronic guts.

Well, I guess this now qualifies Saudi Arabia as a legitimate target now.

Are Saudi planes in fact piloted by Saudis, or by Pakistanis (or pilots from other countries?
Anybody know?

Saudis ... Saudi in an F-15C (or so, single seater) shot down two Iraqi F-1's on their way to American warships in the Gulf War ... I have a feeling we "handed" that one to the Saudis ... the Eagle boys or the Tomcat / Hornet boys and girls were probably wanting to get some ... I think the old Exocet was good for about 150mi ...
