How about Israeli marked US jets piloted by Israelis?..........
I doubt they can train to land and take off on a carrier that fast. So only if there's some program in place that keeps them trained.
Not likely...it takes a lot of training to learn carrier landings and it's very unsafe to have any pilots landing on a carrier who aren't fully trained and confident in landings.

Ha! reminds me of W's critics (as in SeeBS) who complained that when the F102 was grounded (for being TOO DANGEROUS, by the way), W didn't just hop in an F-4 and head for Vietnam. It takes a long time to train a pilot for a specific fighter, and Congress was already squeezing the funding hose when W was discharged (same month I got out---they were begging me to find a reason to go home).
Only a hate-crazed idiot like Dan Rather would have expected to cross-train W at a time when the Air Force already had too many fighter pilots.
Oh, this gets bees a-buzzing under my bonnet. How many people know that in the very month that W signed up for his Texas Air Guard stint (the only path-to-pilot for a non-engineering major), Texas Air National Guard pilots WERE FLYING F-102's In VIETNAM??? Yet hate-mongerers in the press (we speak here of Bush Crucifixion-Master Dan Rather) IGNORED that fact. When SeeBS interviewed W's commanding officer, they could have asked, they could have investigated his background. They would have found that the Commander himself had flown F-102's in Vietnam. But that wouldn't have comported with SeeBS' "mission."
