Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC)
Who has experience working with ATAC (I mean during SFARP, Red Flag, LFEs, etc...).
Does anyone on the forum work for them or know someone who does/has?

No experience but early on ATAC was mentioned as THE recipients for the two SU-27s imported into Rockford IL earlier this year. That seems to have fallen through with the Flankers now on various sites for sale. Got $5 mil???
I can see the Kfirs and the A-4s but the Hunter seems an odd bird in the mix unless they are using it as a low-level ingressor.

I've seen the Kfirs around for years - especially in Oceana, but I only recently heard of the A-4Ns used for CAS training/JTAC training. This is right up my alley. Thanks for the response III Corps.
