future plans[edit]

what are the RJAF future plans. i think there should be a segment about that. but any how.. what are the future plans for the RJAF in modernizing

none, they are suffering from lack of sufficient budget to even consider any replacement for the aging F-16A/B, a possible replacement could be the JF-17 as the RJAF have shown some interest in them. 185.139.222.83 (talk) 22:32, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

other[edit]

Did Jordan achieve independence in 1920? I think it was still part of the British Mandate on Palestine.

F-5A/B retirement[edit]

When did the RJAF finally retire its F-5A/B Freedom Fighters? One source I've found says the combat aircraft were withdrawn in 1988-89. Another indicates 12-18 F-5A/B were retained as lead-in jet trainers until ca. 1993-94. Anyone know the real story (and have a reliable source)?

Orphaned references in Royal Jordanian Air Force[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Royal Jordanian Air Force's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "defensenews.com":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.army-technology.com/news/news70843.html
    Triggered by \barmy-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 13:09, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:35, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Content issue[edit]

@FOX 52: Uhm, what is exactly are you trying to do? You are not reducing sources, you are just blindly reverting. You even removed a picture I added Makeandtoss (talk) 00:13, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tables are for quick reference material only and should be void of excessive text. The reader should be able to click a Wikilink to see expanded detailed information (per -WP:WHENTABLE). Furthermore three sources reporting the same information are not necessary see WP:OVERCITE for more information. Lastly articles are not to be crammed with a bunch on images per WP:IMAGEMOS - Thanks FOX 52 (talk) 02:21, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I dont understand. That guy obviously updated information, why remove the updates for some irrelevant issues? Also one more image is not going to cram the article. Makeandtoss (talk) 20:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

UH-60 delivery to Army or Air Force?[edit]

Does the Royal Jordanian Army also operate aircraft? An article in The Jordan Times (http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/jordan-receives-eight-blackhawks-us) discusses delivery of 8 UH-60A helos to Jordan but says that the aircraft are being allocated to the "Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army". Pardon my ignorance about the organizational structure of the Jordanian military. Carguychris (talk) 15:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Carguychris: Royal Jordanian Airforce and Royal Jordanian Army are both subdivisions of the Jordan Armed Forces. Wikipedia-wise the blackhawks should be considered part of the Royal Jordanian Airforce. However, in reality the blackhawks were distributed to several divisions such as 71st Special Battalion and a newly established special forces unit. But there's no source for this information, I know it from the local community here. Makeandtoss (talk) 17:36, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AT-802[edit]

Presumably the Royal Jordanian Air Force is flying the Air Tractor-L3Harris AT-802U Sky Warden and not the AT-802 agricultural aircraft. 2600:100B:B133:796E:0:0:EDE8:3101 (talk) 08:26, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, the RJAF aircraft are: IOMAX AT-802i variants. They are still much more than AT-802 ag aircraft. 2600:100B:B133:796E:0:0:EDE8:3101 (talk) 19:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably? Please provide a reliable source - FOX 52 talk! 19:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Go to the IOMAX web page for a picture of an AT-802i with the Jordanian flag on the vertical stabilizer. Is that reliable enough for you? 2600:100B:B133:796E:0:0:EDE8:3101 (talk) 21:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia's own AT-802 article users sub-page identifies the IOMAX AT-802i as 6 of the RJAF's aircraft. The AT-802 is single cockpit ag plane with slurry tanks and pumps and dispersal piping. The AT-802i/U/Archangel/SkyWarden variants are two place tandem seating with imaging/ targeting systems, surveillance systems, and hard points for external stores. Which aircraft would you suppose an air force is going to find useful? And on the subject of keeping your information "reliable," why does the IOMAX Archangel entry in Wikipedia's search box redirect you to the Rockwell Thrush page? Wrong plane, wrong company. 2600:100B:B133:796E:0:0:EDE8:3101 (talk) 21:37, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
https://www.key.aero/article/jordan-welcomes-another-air-tractor-802 ~~
Aside from 6 AT-802 donated from UAE and 4 AT-802 for ISR, it seems RJAF also operate at least 1 AT-802 equipped with agricultural/aerial firefighting equipment. Ckfasdf (talk) 02:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To FOX 52: Refer to your latest edit, whereas on edit summary, you said "consolidate duplicate entries". I have some comments on that entries:

  1. If your objective is to consolidate AT-802, whey did you put aerial firefighting aircraft into attack aircraft, but keep ISR aircraft in separate entry?
  2. I can understand if you put all F-16 (A/B) into attack aircraft, as even though B variant if or conversion training, it also can be used for offensive purpose. However, I dont think you can use firefighting aircraft for attack something, they are just not in the same category.
  3. WAF 2024 explicitly states AT-802 as combat aircraft is 6, not 7. Other editor who look up WAF 2024 may replace it 6 as 7 is unsourced. So, I don't think we should keep outdated source in the article (even though it was just released in November 2023). Ckfasdf (talk) 22:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
