By the way did you know That ACTUALY in 1992 there were two separate Coups in Venezuela, I did not I just read about it last night. one was in feb and one was in nov. The november one is actualy worth reading about since it involved some real neat dog fights between mirage and f16s over Caracas. The ealier coup was Chavez doing his dirty work and later the Visconti commander coup which was mostly air raids. I will post a link. I think after reading this Venezuela should highly consider keeping the 16 and making good with the us on some stuff to get thos birds up to spec.

"mirage exocet was used for the etandard regardless of my 2000 mistake for the 50vs mirage venezuela "

Argentina only had 5 AM.39 Exocets as supplied by the French. The Argentines admit this as fact. They received no other AM.39s during the conflict and used up the 5 during Falklands/Malvinas missions. If they had had more AM.39 Exocets then why did they not use them in missions from the Super Etendards? Due to the lack of AM.39s the Argentines removed ship-based Exocets and trailer mounted them on the islands. One island based Exocet near the end of the conflict damaged HMS Glamorgan.
