I have seen some Imax movies in Bangkok and they were stunning, probably because the screen was so huge, I went to see Top Gun Maverick in Imax at Nottingham and was disappointed with the Imax factor. I am...

£39 million quid for a 144 bed dormitary sounds a tad on the expensive side to me.

A great selection of phots there.
On the Apache ones, I can see one sheep saying to another, "Don't bother running, you'll only die tired"

Re: President Zelensky to visit UK today
I feel that there are many suitable aircraft at The Boneyard in Tucson which will not take too much time to get back in the air, I am thinking of aircraft that have recently arrived at DM for mothballing.

Are there any assets tucked away at Shawbury that would be of use to Ukraine?
Davis Monthan with F-16, F-15 and A-10's would be more use of course. Joe!!!!

Re: Edwards AFB Airshow and Open House 2022
I never went to the Edwards AFB airshow but I did visit the base three or four times, the free of charge NASA Dryden tours were fabulous, also there was quite a large museum type collection of aircraft.
Pre 911 it was an easy base to visit.

Didn't a US Navy P3 dump a Chinese fighter in the South China Sea a few years back?

Re: F-35B landing incident at Forth Worth
RB Very interesting to know the ejection is automatic, first looking at the video I thought that the pilot could have maybe sat tight. Easy to say with hindsight though.

Being on the NE coast, Sunderland would be one of the first to see Putin's Air Show should a war break out.
