Are we bored of phantoms yet?

Post by Pauld339 » Tue Nov 26, 2024 10:49 am

What a weekend that was. Already brilliantly covered by other posters, I've selected a few different angles for this post and including some lesser-cropped shots because I just loved the scenery in the valley.

1st time low-level - I suspect it will never be beaten (although secretly hoping the Greeks give it a go next year!)

Can never get bored with a Phantom. My favourite aircraft - purely magnificent beasts.

Had a PPL for 10 years. Always wanted to be a Phantom pilot. Wished I had worker harder at school, then I might have made it, as a friend of mine did. Ah well. Sat in the Wattisham Museum example a couple of months ago. Have to be satisfied with that. :( Lovely pics.
