Why was this article tagged?

First part of article history: here (started by Pibwl ←«)

Um... let's see. No references, doubtlessly multiple inaccuracies, and in need of a general overhaul. The overall goal of any article, especially one as important as this in history, is to achieve at least a class C rating. I would not give this a class D. Although I was not the person who tagged this, I agree with doing so. If anyone has background in this area of history, please feel free to look it over. 71.82.138.19 (talk) 07:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

The title

Is it better just choose "Vietnam People's Air force", we already havethe word "People's", why must change to "Vietnamese People's Air Force"? (Ng2minh (talk) 07:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC))

American Equipment

Shouldn't some of the American leftovers still be in service in the VPAF not just the C-130 or UH-1 like the F-5 and T-37 they aren't obsolete so why aren't they using them.--Coffeekid (talk) 19:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Um, perhaps lack of training manuals, spares, and tools? Buckshot06(prof) 12:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Well mostly lacked of spare parts, and they're doesn't have any necessary of using them (basically, why should you using a C-130 for transport, when you're having 10 Tu-150 that can do better?)Zeraful —Preceding undated comment added 08:33, 14 July 2011 (UTC).

Mig-23 in Vietnam

In this article it is stated that the VPAF have 36 Mig-23.

In the Wikipedia article about Mig-23, Vietnam is not listed as current operator of Mig-23. Why???

First aerial victory dubious

Although there was excellent reason to believe the C-123 fired upon on the night of 14/15 February 1964 was downed, it actually survived and recovered at Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Navy Base. The C-123 was hit in the left engine, and rolled down out of the attacking T-28's view. However, the Nationalist Chinese regained control at a lower altitude. Details may be found on pages 158-161 of Spies and commandos: how America lost the secret war in North Vietnam, Kenneth J. Conboy, Dale Andradé, University Press of Kansas, 2000. ISBN 0700610022, 9780700610020.

Last use of biplanes in combat?

With reference to Battle of Lima Site 85...

It can be seen that the VPAF used AN-2 Colts in an air raid on the secret radar station in Laos. Shouldn't this be added to the History section?

To dear FOX 52, 36 SU-30MKK AND 12 SU-27, PLS DO NOT SAYING RELIABLE SOURCES AGAIN, what I can tell you is your belief and source is definitely wrong. PLS DO NOT use "reliable SOURCE" stuff to protect your wrong belief. DO SOME RESEARCH and check out the wiki page for SU27 & SU30 operators. You can not ignore other's opinions and fight against truth.
