Still a sucker for Delta planforms on this end. Many of our fighters might be considered Delta's ( like the F-15 and others with continuous camber leading edges ) augmented with tails, but I digress ;-).

Love to know more about the South African Cheetah's and the Israeli Kfir, they are somewhat of a mystery.

I wouldn't rule out Delta / BWB / Modified Flying Wing type config's being added to our fleet in the future...

His father changed his name from Bloch to Dassault after WWII and a stay in the Buchenwald concentration camp.

Think D’Assault.

Nit everyone can afford a Mercedes, but everyone wants a good car. Dassault saw the greater market - as did Saab - and filled it.
