#2 he said he was "only thinking out loud". "Maybe we will just send them back to them, or perhaps we will send 10 planes to Cuba, or to China, so they can have a look at the technology of these aircraft."

Poor ***king Hugo, thinking outload again. Crate em up, send em to China. The spares business will help our trade deficit.

#4 Go for it Chavez. The planes are old, and we didn't give you the best and top secret shit. You have good airframes. Wheee.
And without spare parts, they are expensive paperweights. So go ahead, export them you baby.

#5 He's working in concert with the Mad Mulahs, Norks, Cuba, Al Qaeda and the drug smugglers.
He should reflect on Noregia.

#10 "These parts worked fine when they left the factory. The warranty expired when you took off the shrinkwrap."

#11 During his ill-fated coup attempt way back in the early 90's part of his plan was to mount an air attack on government offices with a COIN aircraft like an OV-10.

It was shot down by one of Venezuela's F-16's.

#12 China already has one F-16 for study.
It was provided by Pakistan in the early 1990s.

When Bill Clinton ordered cruise missile strikes against OBL, the Paks provided one crashed Tomahawk to China.

The Chinese have reportedly not been too successful with the reverse engineering.

Even assembly of modern aircraft is a problem. Russian technicians had to be called in to dismantle and reassemble Su-27 Flankers.

Guess there is a world of difference between assembly of plastic toys and high performance engineering...

#13 Why am I not surprised that the Isrealis stepped in and were about to sell spare parts to Chavez?

#14 Hugo will get his F16 parts right after Iran gets their F14 parts. After all, they've been in line since Jimmy Carter.

#15 I have a friend in the Honduran Air Force. He says he will give a C-47 and a Stuart tank to Vietnam if Bush does not immediately send him a new Corvette, a couple of NFL cheerleaders, and an open credit line in Las Vegas. Hey, it's worth a shot.
