Re: Saigon - Reunification Palace
Nice pictures. I quite like the authenticity of the faded paint on this F5.
Edit - on closer inspection looks to be prepped for re-spray - never mind.

Re: Recent A-10's
Great photos. Nice to take a look at something I'm pretty sure I'll never see in the flesh again.

Re: my first IAT 1989..
Just browsing some old threads and noticed these pics. If I remember it was really, really hot that day and cold drinks were selling for a mint. I was so excited as a youngster to finally see an SR71, great memories , thanks for sharing.

Sad to hear about the Polish MiG29 pilot. I still have fond memories of the demo in 2015 - that take off

Re: C17s to Fairford
Hi Guys. As a newbie on here can anybody give me any info on the reason for the upcoming deployment? I know in the past we've had Baltops, Ample Strike etc, is this for something similar? Thanks.
