With a carpet of snow outside and no Winter Fuel Allowance we need to think of other ways to get warm so seems the ideal time to post this selection of jets with burners in. Feel free to add any of your own as was most impressed with the additions to the Smokers thread.

Very nostalgic and great to see these. Some wonderful memories here and enjoyed viewing them. Back in 1991 I went to Chivenor for the arrivals day and the Czech MiG23 went out for a local jolly, when it returned it was a high speed low level pass across the base, full afterburner. To say it was a bit loud would be an understatement. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Nice ones roughcutter. Only time I ever got to see a Flogger was in the static @ RIAT '97!

The same show

Just a couple...

Very nice Darren. Can always rely on you to come up with a few goodies. Wonder whether that pic of Vark 884 was taken @ Alconbury '92 as I have an almost identical one taken there?
