Re: Once in the west, Point Mugu show, flying '95 Gordon

Hi Gordon

Tomcat and Phantom heaven. The image quality is not what these images are about, it was a different time and your images portray this perfectly. Oh how I wish I could go back, I would meet you there no doubt.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Once in the west, Point Mugu show, static '95 Gordon

Great shots, just love the variety. I hope to be at NAS Point Mugu show in March 2023 but I don't expect it to be on this level. I will settle for a few VX-30 aircraft and maybe a patch and challenge coin lol. Jason , can I ask where you did you come by this info ? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks....

For Sale - Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L Mk1

Hi everyone. I am selling my canon 70-200mm F2.8L lens. The lens is the mark 1 version and is in mint condition. I purchased the lens 12 months ago from LCE for a trip, but I was unable to travel and I have never used the lens. LCE advertised the lens as in mint condition (which it is) and I paid £7...

Re: Once in the west, Point Mugu show, static '95 Gordon

Another wonderful set Gordon. All those lovely test aircraft, the VX-9 Tomcat is something else. I hope to be at NAS Point Mugu show in March 2023 but I don't expect it to be on this level. I will settle for a few VX-30 aircraft and maybe a patch and challenge coin lol. Loved them, thanks for sharing.

Re: Once in the West, Edwards show '93, Gordon

My kind of post Gordon, anything US military is my kind of nostalgia and this post is right up there. How I miss the F-117, I think it captured my imagination when I was a young man as it seemed so futuristic. Compared to the cutting edge F-35 of today, it has so much more charisma. As for the VISTA...

Re: Once in the West, China Lake 93, Gordon

I thoroughly enjoyed this set Gordon, somewhere I still haven’t visited but would love to go.

So many classic airframes that have passed into history, as I get older, it feels like it was only yesterday that they were flying. Thanks for sharing.

Great selection Paul and good to see you managed to get to the event. That Hind is something else, gorgeous.

It would have been nice to have met up again but alas, a closed border meant my ticket went to waste.
