http://translate.google.de/translate...m.br%2Fblog%2FThe B-52 aircraft of the U.S. Air Force conducted four aerial refuelings, but more interesting is that one of them was with a KC-135R tanker aircraft of the French Air Force, both rare for the crew of the B-52 and KC-135 . In addition, the B-52 aircraft flew in formation with fighter jets French Rafale and Mirage 2000 during the flight over Europe.

Why would the cockipt/displays or even nose cone be any different ?Originally Posted by metberkut
I have read that it supposedly has a new cockpit.
No, it's the same interface, you won't notice any difference.

Correio Braziliense, June 8
President Rousseff wants to put an end to the novel about the purchase of new fighter aircraft for the Air Force (FAB) during the visit of the new French president, Francois Hollande, Brazil. The Air Force technical studies have been completed.
Estimated at $ 5 billion, the bid is disputed by the Rafale aircraft , from the French Dassault, F/A-18 Super Hornet from Boeing, Gripen NG, Saab's Swedish. Hollande come to Brazil for the Rio +20 in the next 20 days and should clarify the final proposal and the new conditions of France during private meeting with Dilma.
Regarding the situation of the FAB, the Air Force had to move from Boa Vista to Santa Cruz Air Base, the state capital, the squadrons of F-5M (high performance) and Super Tucano (low performance) that guard airspace for Rio +20, in a radius of 50 kilometers around the River Center in Jacarepagua. The group also employ four AMX fighters, two F-5 Tiger aircraft radars and the base itself.

http://www.hal-india.com/Press%20release%20MoU.aspHAL to invest in MMRCA production facilities
Flightglobal/HAL , June 11
Hindustan Aeronautics will invest Rs6 billion ($108 million) in two Bengaluru factories for fighter aircraft and engines. The factories will be located at Chellaghatta, which is adjacent to HAL's other production facilities in the Indian city, the company says in a statement.
Indian media reports say one of the factories will produce airframes for the medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) that India plans to acquire. The other will produce MMRCA power plants.
The Indian government is in negotiations with France's Dassault for its Rafale fighter, which earlier this year attained so-called "L1-vendor" status in the 126-aircraft competition. This status signifies that Dassault was the lowest priced bidder for the requirement, allowing it to conduct exclusive negotiations with India's Contract Negotiation Committee (CNC) for the fighter deal. A CNC is comprised of a defence programme's key stakeholders, and in the case of MMRCA is likely to include organisations such as the Indian air force and HAL.
Under the terms of the MMRCA programme, 18 aircraft will be provided in a flyaway condition, with the subsequent 108 produced locally by HAL in India. New Delhi could eventually obtain up to 200 MMRCA aircraft.
HAL says its two new facilities will provide direct employment for 1,200 personnel and indirect employment for 3,600 more.
New Delhi sees the MMRCA programme as a crucial step in the country's efforts to further develop an advanced aerospace sector. In addition, when inducted the MMRCA will likely be the most potent and advanced aircraft in India's arsenal.
Analysts have estimated the value of the MMRCA contest as ranging between $10 billion and $20 billion. The Rafale's original rivals for the requirement were the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Eurofighter Typhoon, Lockheed Martin F-16IN Super Viper, RSK MiG-35 and Saab Gripen NG. All but the Rafale and Typhoon were eliminated in April 2011.
The new type will replace the Indian air force's obsolete MiG-21 fighters, which a defence ministry source says will begin to be phased out in 2014.
