[edit] Weasel words / unverifiable statment

After reading

   and are seriously looking for an attack fighter role to go along with the F-16 to make 
   up the strongest, powerful and intimidating fighter tandem in South America.

I decided to remove

   to make up the strongest, powerful and intimidating fighter tandem in South America.

because the statement was unverifiable. Besides, I am chilean and I am unaware of this. If anyone has a source for this phrase, please accept my apologies and re-insert the sentence in the article. --_N_e_g_r_u_l_i_o 06:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

This paragraph:

The F-35 has been offered formally to the Chilean Air Force to replace their old F-5E for the year 2015, according to Lockheed Martin because it is difficult in the next few years to continue in the production F-16, that plane has just acquired FACH, so they can choose the F-35 as a replacement plane for its old aircraft.

There is no evidence about any offer from LM to the Chilean Air Force related to the F-35... Just rumors in some internet forums. Greetings.-Cloudaoc (talk) 20:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually look in the Eurofighter's page where it mentions the FACH as a potential buyer. No idea about the F-35 though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.170.71 (talk) 18:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
