Malaysia has offered the use of a base in East Malaysia on the island of Borneo to the United States as a site for detachments of Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The photo showed the F-22 failed to radar jam the MiG and was releasing flares to avoid missile lock-on by the MiG-29, but was later nailed by cannon fire instead. The MiG-29 pilot claimed that the F-22 was in ambush mode while going stealth (in passive mode) with no radar emission and using a F-15 to bait the Malaysian jets, but he could detect it with the new Russian radar installed last year. This photo was taken by helmet-cam from a F-15 which was trying to assist the F-22. It breaks off after the F-22 was nailed as another MiG-29 tried to radar lock him. (Photo: : Liveleak.com)

In August 2014 the U.S. Air Force grounded 82 F-16D jets after cracks were discovered in longerons (metal support beams inside the forward fuselage, which hold the cockpit in place). The D version of the F-16 is the two seater used for training. Some 16 percent of the 969 F-16s in the U.S. Air Force are the D model and these are all at least 24 years old with more than 5,500 hours in the air. The longeron design for the D model is different than that for the single seat models because the D model has a longer cockpit canopy. The air force is making repairs and replacements to put the grounded F-16Ds back in service. By: Dan Parsons (www.flightglobal.com)
