I must say though the toilet facilities behind the first German Gina shot are so much better than what is offered these days!

Fantastic shots of a stunning aircraft. Why oh why can't more military aircraft look like this?

They only bought grey paint!

Nice pictures and the 2nd one highlights why should have gone! Back to the good old days.

I believe the flight plan for the Greek Phantom hadn’t been amended correctly & still showed 2 aircraft instead of 1. Hence the French & Belgians rejecting it.

Obviously they have not watched 'Top Gun' when the one blip on the radar changes

Thanks guys that is really helpful, just need to get the house stuff done before spending the winter doing this.

P.S Hi Knife04 may have me mixed up with another Rob, can confirm happy enjoying working. I will say hello at the next FAS meeting.

I saw them in 2018 at Iruma airshow, which had eye watering number of spectators. I really liked their display and the locals lapped them up. I am bored with the Reds no matter how good they are always good to see a new team and Japan forgetting the aircraft is a amazing country have a great time ve...

Good morning, While at RIAT, got into a number of conversations about old spotting trips and having thousands of slides to scan.

Hi Gordon, yes fed up 100% please stop posting please just because I never managed to see many stateside based Hogs.

They are great pictures of a very impressive collection you seem to have taken over the years.

I should add the B-52 looked like someone had painted that way, with lighting on the nose, I actually liked it and fired up Metallica on my phone for the rest of the static walk.

Don't fly with a bit of wind and then they don't paint them when arriving at Fairford not Cricket. Its no criticism, was just wondering what was going on with that nose, that is all. As you can see from a previous post I made in this thread, I'm grateful to see any of it given the number of shows t...

Or you could just be grateful to have seen one The amount of cr@p that gets aimed at organisers and attendees is ridiculously pathetic, year on year!

I’m sure Bud Holland would have done it better
Bud Holland was an idiot who didn't value the lives of those who he killed by being so reckless.

Idiot is not strong enough, why those in charge did not remove him when others refused to fly with him.
