Re: RAF Wedgetails

Still don't agree with the decision to cut the RAF Wedgetails from 5 to 3 but I realise the reason behind it is (Political as usual but won't go there!!), is to save money as usual..

Re: To Be Too excited about the B2...

Ah yes was at both those Mildenhall Air Fetes (1997 and 2000) and remember well the B-2 Spirits very much.. Especially when it flew over in 1997 with the F-15s and viewing it up close in 2000 was pretty cool and special too...

Those are the only two Spirits I have actually ever seen!!

Re: More sightings of un-seriallised aircraft

Am I correct in thinking that the USAF C-32As (USAF B.757) don't have their serial numbers on the tail any more?

Re: lookback at leemings F3s and visitors...

Unfortunately Leeming was a very unlucky base for me as for some reason every time we stopped there it was somehow raining. Even for an Airshow it rained or was very miserable. I actually remember once seeing that Special Coloured Tornado F.3 ZE764 DH I think it was putting on an inpromptu display u...
