Re: South Korean - Black Eagles
Rumours that three C-130s have left S.Korea recently heading this way. Facebook post the other day showed the jets being dismantled in Korea. Anyone have any knowledge of where they will be rebuilt or where they will operate from when here? Mike Freighted to Stansted and re-assembled at Boscombe

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2022 - General Discussion Thread
You do realise that people are allowed to be disappointed whilst still being grateful they can attend an air show? The irony of someone whining about perceived whining… I wasn't being whiny about anything, but the whiny ones were definitely whining about it rather than airing disappointment, there ...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2022 - General Discussion Thread
There's more whining in this thread than a pair of Rolls Royce Darts spooling up! How about being thankful that you will have a show to go to at all and accept that it may well not be as big as you're used to. There's a lot going on militarily at the moment and, believe it or not, Covid is still a t...

Re: Falcon 900s will be BAe 146 replacements...
Why didn't we just strip out 2 of the Sentinals we had them already paid for, surely Global Express aircraft would have been ideal for this role. Because it isn't simply a case of stripping them out. They are very heavily modified structurally and to de-mod back to original condition would cost mil...

He put it out on twitter himself so I guess he is OK with the publicity. We all handle grief differently..... Whatever works for him I guess.
I used to be a fan of his, not so much these days, but this is a separate thing altogether and I wouldn't wish it on anyone
