    Australia could act like a sovereign nation and do the right thing in the face of American interests but would you put money on it?

    Didn’t work out so well for us last time.

    Hate to be a party pooper but the only approved vendor doesn’t mean Israel couldn’t cobble something together.

      Yeah, what would happen is another vendor being approved elsewhere, meaning it was pointless and they lost business.

        Ending any relationship with Israel is not pointless.

    While presumably not as disposable cursory research shows the the horizontal tail assembly is provided exclusively by Canada and UK.

    Dear Australia,

      It would be good to know what point you’re trying to make.

        the US will stop whatever Australia does in this regard and will punish us for it

          Do you think we should end any and all relationships with Israel?

    Why does a landing gear component need to be replaced based on flight time? Shouldn’t it be based on number of take-offs and landings?

      Because military contracts. Thats why.

      Maybe it’s just easiest to build replacement into the maintenance schedule based on flight hours even though landing is the actual wear and tear

      At the end of the day, there’s a limit on flight hours before a plane must be landed.

      Using an average flight length, you can determine after how many flight hours the component needs to be replaced by doing max_flights * avg_flight_length where max_flights is the maximum number of landing + takeoffs the component can handle. 1 landing and 1 takeoff = 1 flight.
