Title: RAF E-3D Sentry fleet grounded.
Post by: Angry Turnip on April 14, 2012, 11:45:39 PM

The RAF`s 7 Boeing E-3D Sentry fleet has been grounded as a "fault" has been found with the aircraft.

The MOD claim other aircraft will provide temporary cover while the problem is investigated.

Read that. Would love to know what the 'other' aircraft are? Probably have to borrow a few from NATO.
