Talk:Royal Norwegian Air Force

message: The F-5 is no longer in active use, and shouldn't be listed as one of the fighter planes in use. I believe none of the F-5s are even flying anymore. I heard this from an RNoAF pilot.

message: I don't think we should have the ambition to track the number of air planes operational in the Norwegian air force at any given time. If we were to acertain that information accurately it would probably be classified. If not it would be guesswork, original research and most likely unsourced. The Hercules transport planes are undergoing a modernisation programme and new are to be purchased so that number will vary a great deal. The Norwegian defence issues an information pamphlet once a year where these numbers are given. We should use these numbers and settle for updating once a year or if good sources are found in the mean time.Inge 18:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Numbers of operational aircraft 

message: I'm a bit confused about the squadron-numbers linked to Bodø AFB. I served with the 331/334sqd in 1999, and I can't remember any 332sqd of F-16 fighters there. Also, I can verify that RNoAF operates atleast A, B and C model F-16s from actually having worked on them. I don't remember if I worked on any D-models since there aren't that many two-seaters in the RNoAF in the first place. Bishamon79 18:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Tok meg den frihet å slette utsagnet om at hvis P-36 flyene på Kjeller hadde vært operasjonelle, da skulle tøskern fått bank, da. Noen som er svært uenig i dette? Er det noen mening i å komme opp med hvissåfremtifall-utsagn, især når man vet at P-36 fly var håpløst utdatert i en dogfightrolle allerede da de først ble produsert.

replies: text: Furthermore, what your decidedly pessimistic "analysis" of the "dogfighterrolle" qualities of the P-36 totally lacks is an understanding/knowledge of the actual tactical situation of the German aircraft attacking the Oslo region. They were almost out of fuel. The Bf 110s that landed on Fornebu airport 9 April were at the time flying on gas fumes. One does not need much understanding of basic air warfare principles to see that the German fighters did not have the fuel reserves to dogfight P-36s, or even a number of Gloster Gladiators larger than the seven they actually met. The section will be resurrected at a later time, in an improved version. --Manxruler 01:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The NH90 is still yet to come (delivery has been delayed). And when all have arrived, the Lynx will be removed from service. i therefore don't think both helicopters should be in the infobox, and that the NH90 has to go - until they actually are delivered :-) (and yes, i am norwegian too) Yosh3000 23:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello. With apologies for the x-posting to a couple of Talk pages, if you're knowledgeable on this subject could you please have a very quick look at Talk:Finn Varde Jespersen and see if you can help with either of my small queries there? No big deal but would be nice. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 09:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Didn't the Norwegian air force just adopted the F-52 fighter jet? Shouldn't that be added to the page?

thread_title:  F-52 

message: The F-16 is no longer in active service: https://www.forsvaret.no/en/news/articles/f-35-qra F-35 takes over QRA mission from F-16 (2022-01-06): "I 1980, Norway started operating its fleet of F-16s, and this fleet has now retired."
* The sale to Draken International: https://www.fma.no/aktuelt-og-media/2020/norge-selger-et-mindre-antall-f-16-til-draken-international and https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/norge-selger-et-mindre-antall-f-16-til-draken-international/id2890530/ (both in Norwegian only). 
Up to 12 aircraft later in 2022, but needs approval from the American and Norwegian authorities (see below).
* The sale to Romania: https://www.fma.no/aktuelt-og-media/2020/romania-onsker-a-kjope-norske-f-16 (scroll down for the english version) : 
"Through a letter signed by the chiefs of the two Chambers of the Romanian Parliament, sent on Monday, 20 December, the Romanian Parliament approved the acquisition of 32 Norwegian F-16 fighter jets."
"A resale of the F-16 requires third-party approval from the US authorities and for export, as in this case, an export license from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also required. There is thus strict control over who can receive the Norwegian F-16 aircraft. According to the plan, the first aircraft will be delivered in 2023 and the last aircraft will be delivered during 2024. For the remaining aircraft that cannot be sold, an overall assessment will be made regarding the possibilities for exhibition at a museum or other purposes. Here, too, approval from the American and Norwegian authorities will be required."
