Untitled

I am confused regarding the inventory of the Omani Air Force. I was in Muscat International Airport on 31st May 2010 and saw a Vickers VC10, a Nimrod and what appeared to be a Raytheon Sentinel. All of these aircraft were in military marking with Omani flags on the tail. Anyone care to share some insight? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danevans23 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You must have peculiar eyesight as they were all Royal Air Force aircraft NOT Royal Air Force of Oman aircraft!!!!!. The RAF have used Oman as a strategic base since 2001.--Petebutt (talk) 23:33, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Roundel and Ensign

Unfortunately the author has used the roundel and Ensign of the SOAF, predecessor to RAFO. Can anyone supply an image of the Ensign, (roundels are not used on RAFO aircraft!!)--Petebutt (talk) 23:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AS330 in service?

According to WAF 2020/2019/2018/2017, Oman have 2 SA330. Scramble.nl still record 2 SA330 Refer to air force monthly, SA330 will be phased out in December 2019 but no further update yet. So... which source that will be used for SA330? Ckfasdf (talk) 05:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

World Air Forces was published in December, and given the air frames age I would say they're all retired. - FOX 52 (talk) 05:52, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, we will assume that they're all retired even though no source for that yet. Ckfasdf (talk) 04:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
