Talk:Royal Malaysian Air Force

message: Sorry if I introduced more errors but the table was full of junk entries. Aircraft scrapped or lost in accidents were listed as leased out and included in totals. The Caribous have log since been retired, another example was having the Bell 47G on order - a 1940/1950s helicopter! Some entries like Hawk appeared under fighter and trainer and were counted in the totals twice. Reference used for edits was .MilborneOne 11:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: A400 4? or 2?

message: The article states that "Air Marshall - This rank is only used by Malaysian King as a special rank."  However in English "Air Marshal" is a 3-star rank.  Wouldn't "Marshal of the Air Force" (a 5-star rank) be a better translation? Greenshed 23:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Air Marshal or Marshal of the Air Force

message: The article currently states that the changeover from air officer to general officer ranks took place in 1970.  However, Sulaiman Sujak appears to have held the rank of air vice-marshal up until the end of 1976.  Does anyone have any further information on this? Greenshed (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Changeover from air officer to general officer ranks

message: The motto could do with an English translation, otherwise it might as well not be included (this is the English Wikipedia).
I've started to change "the order of ranks from 1990 onward" to agree with the text and tables;  I'm not bothered if its ascending or 'descending' order as long as they are all the same. At the moment its all over the place. ("Consistency" and all that).
In the 'Missing jet engines scandal' section the following quote is obviously missing a word: "it was reported a brigadier-general". It could be "to" or "by" (if so, who to?), but I am reluctant to add either word as it would change the meaning.

message: I just noticed that list of aircraft on this article and Equipment of the Royal Malaysian Air Force and List of aircraft of the Malaysian Armed Forces are the same/redundant. So, I propose to remove the list on this article and just put link to either Equipment of the Royal Malaysian Air Force or List of aircraft of the Malaysian Armed Forces.
