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?

Was this Show in the days that one of my favourite stories Thunder and Lightnings was set in? The Lightnings going on to the Jaguars?

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...
