The USN plans on buying global hawks to compliment the P-8 force by allowing the P-8s to act as ASW patrol and shooters while the RQ-4 force does long range surface search operations.

I think you have too many Global Hawks, the US only has 48.

You AF also seems to be lacking some ground support, how about a few gunships (AC-130esque vice helos)? Also, tankers?
I had a feeling I had too many Global Hawks. I was using the actual amount that the Australian Federal Government has planned to acquire from the US DoD. I used the Airbus A400 in lieu of the Hercules and the Airbus A330 MRTT fills the tanker role. I was also thinking about including some Warthogs into the equation. I really wanted to have the Sukhoi Su-30 Multi-Role Fighter in the lead fighter role but I gathered I would cop a lot of criticism for my choice.

Not really any way you could have defended that, no. I mean, if you'd had the Eurofighter Typhoon in that place, that could work easily, but the SU-30? Tricky.

Looking great so far! I love the SAR boat :)
I think the numbers for the IFAAF look pretty good now, though I would expect the numbers for the Typhoons to be reversed so that there are more single seaters - or at least closer to parity if you envisage a strike modified twin-seat variant (also the 'type' text is doubled up for the Typhoon too).

You continue to come up with great and tremendously detailed designs, how do you do it? I find them all both fascinating and inspiring, please keep them coming :D

Thanks mate, I draw my inspiration from your wonderful artwork so we both must be doing something good then. I have amended the Typhoons too.
