Interesting.

4 Typhoons vs 24 F-16?

Didn't that F22 driver get a "kill" for the Chinese balloon last year?

Ah, my first tour in the Mob 85-88.

Nice set.

Shot 5 is sublime!

Nice.

I've got a couple of tattoos that need removing........

That's an expensive "Ooops!"

I'm getting virus warnings off my anti-virus software every time I check on this page.

Best remove the links, please.

Excellent set!

Did they not paint one of prototypes in those colours in 76 for the Bi-Centenial?

Tah.

Nice set, Phil.

OK, who else thought that was a strange blade aerial under the nose of that first Harrier...........?

Dammit, I was only there last month. Completely forgot about the F4.

Nice set!

My thoughts are with the poor sods in Air Traffic who have to watch these go round and round........as ex-RAF Air Traffiker, it would drive me bonkers......Linton/Dishforth was bad enough......

Stunning set! I've got to go back. last time was 2007.

I love those Growlers!!

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread but esp 3Greens and lardyboy999. Just shows how the Canadians got around. As I said they always punched above their weight.

Hmmm, anyone else hear a sabre or two being rattled?

I have fond memories of them dropping off the weekly beer supplies at TTTE Cottesmore back in the 80s during my first tour in the RAF, especially as I was on 'A' Squadron (the German squadron)..........

Oh, 9 are back. Photo op with the Black Typhoon got to be on the cards.........
