SAUDI ARABIA

The Royal Saudi Air Force has plenty of the best equipment money can buy and its pilots have shown they know how to use it.
56/14 F-5E/F plus 10 RF-5E, 92/42/72 F-15C/D/S, 24/90 Tornado ADV/IDS and 33 Hawk, a beautiful combination of American and British equipment. They are also all kinds of rumours about the replacement for the old F-5: between 70-100 F-16 (they have already purchased AGM-65D/G missiles "aplicable to F-16" aircraft), 24 more F-15S or even the French Rafale.
The Green Knights are the demo team and fly Hawks.

A Saudi Tornado checking everything in order near an oil plant in the Persian Gulf.

A Saudi F-15C about to air refuel. Fighters from both Iran and Iraq have been shot down by the mighty Saudi Eagles.

An F-5 ready to be loaded in an C-5 Galaxy.

The fabulous Hawk is the right choice for a series of tasks: jet training, light attack and display teams.
