***Breaking News***

Karmanaskis to attend the ROD fighter competition.

The Government has given the KDF the OK and the Air Force will notify the ROD of the details in the next 12 hours or so.
It seems the delay was a result of the Governments insistence that the KDF prove National security issues could be maintained.
The KDF/Air Force was eager to participate and presented a detailed program to the civilian powers that be.

Edit
Fighter Units
7th Brigade, A flight (KF-30 "Voodoo")
25th Brigade, 33 Sqd (KF-10 "Canuck")

Attack Units
41st Brigade, A Flight (KF-30 "Voodoo")
