Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years,
but not until recently posted,

I tend not to post anywhere often as I never find the time, and frankly I've always had to be very careful due to my job. Also I have never cared about not being able to view or post in certain areas.

I asked a simple question, yesterday, and got a simple, helpful answer plus a couple of passive aggressive answers! Oh yeah! :grr:
Initially I thought F$$K You! I'll disappear back into the ether! :ninja:
But this morning as I sat here with some time on my hands I thought NO! :@

So here I am, gloves hanging in the garage! :halo:

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game............!

Hi all, I'm new to this site. I've been interested in military aviation (and civilian aviation) for a long time. Found out about the forum through watching some of the livestreams on Youtube and thought I would join. I do some photography, but strictly amateur!

Hi, the both of you :thumbs:

Welcome aboard the (mostly) friendly aviation forum :thumb:

We do, like most social media platforms, have a few anally-retentive snot bags who would rather be awkward and nasty, than nice ;)

Nonsense, all of the answers that you got were helpful with no passive aggression whatsoever.

What's with the Rolling Stones song lyrics and the username that is a brand of condom may I ask? :whistle:

Hi everyone!

My name is Judy
I am brand new here but have always had an interest in airplanes (My daddy was a Hog Driver in the Airforce)
I was actually born in Cambridge! and moved back here to study and work. I'm lucky as my current job allows me to split my time 50/50 between Cambridge and Myrtle Beach where my folks live!

That's all for now!

See y'all around!

Welcome to Fighter Control Judy

Hope you enjoy looking around the forum.

Hog Driver... wow... memories flood back to watching Pilots like your Dad hitting the ranges at Donna Nook and Holbeach.

Welcome aboard the friendly aviation forum, Judy :thumbs:

You’ll find lots of older peeps on FC, like myself and Tim, who have a great affection for the A10, stretching all the way back to the late 80’s, when there were loads of the little whistling beasties based at Bentwaters/Woodbridge :thumb:

Thanks for the lovely welcomes boys!
One thing I was pondering....
Is there a place for photographs of model airplanes?
Anything from baby monograms to massive movers?
(secret hobby!!)

Martin - do you have a delay on your live feed? I share many others’ concern in the RAF that a fatal accident will be broadcast live.
Hi,

There is a delay in the stream, which is prob 30 sec to a min.
I have made a promise to myself, that if anything like this happened, the stream will be cut straight away, the vid of the stream will be unlisted and only available for the Air Investigation.

I have no intention of Selling the video as this is not respectfull to the family.

Of course there is a slight window where this will be viewable to everyone on the stream, but not for long.

Hello all,

I have been on and off this great forum for a few year.
I run a Youtube streaming channel, can i post somewhere when we go live at airfields?

I think a number of people do go to the channel from here, as i always get lots of views when things are happening, and i can only put it to places like this.

Please let me know where i can post the live links tor if it ok for me to do this.

Many thanks

Martin

Morning everyone.

Looking forward to exploring further the group and hopefully managing to enjoy seeing more fantastic aircraft in Scotland.
Have only recently started photographing down at Prestwick and have been bitten by the bug.

MadJudy, a question for your Dad. In the late 19080s I had to travel across the Fens. Many times one summer I would stop to watch the A10s attacking burning straw. No longer allowed, the farmers would set off piles which would send up columns of smoke. The planes would come in from all around
Great to watch. If it was your Dad please give him my thanks.

Hi all. I've been a FC member for a number of years (inc the old FC site). I've recently moved to Derbyshire from my home county of Essex and i've decided to put the books and red pen away to concentrate on photography.
I'm asking if there is anyone in the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire areas who would be interested in meeting up for occasoonal photographic trips.
