Many thanks Paddyboy! 

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Thanks DavieB

I saw it on a reg plate site in 2016 and thought "I've gotta have that!"
It has a couple of black stickers on it so it looks like F-4 'NAM as well as a Mr Spook sticker

I put a plate on without sticker additions for the MOT

Suspect there is probably similar on some on the back of a beat up old Chevvy trundling round the Nevada desert being driven by a crusty old guy in a baseball hat with "Rolling Thunder Vet" on the front!

I've met a few 'crusty old vets' there over the years, in the desert and out of it! Usually over a beer or two!

Hi everyone,
Thank you to accept me in your forum. Forgive my possible language/conjugation/grammar errors, I am a French immigrant currently resident in Scotland.
I discovered your forum when I was looking for information about the Exercise Joint Warrior. I am first of all a photography enthusiast (a bit of everything), and I started to enjoy taking pictures of military equipment at air events near my parents' home and during my thesis. I lived by the sea, near the military port of Toulon (base port of the French aircraft carrier).
So I began to practice a lot more picture of Military boats, and occasionnaly, some plane (You need to have a good lens for the plane).
Since arriving in Scotland (shortly before the lockdown) I have been left wanting, although I have seen a few.
Anyway, I hope to get to know aviation a bit better, especially from the UK.
Thanks again for the welcome.
This is the last picture of a plane I managed to take a few months ago.

Hi, New to this group.
Based in Edmonton in Canada, so get a fair few mil both from over the Pond to the West Coast of the US, but also from Alaska, heading to the East Coast. Been a number of B-52s recently doing a round robin of the US, ending up just north of Edmonton before turning south again
Also get a few Canadian movements, but nothing too interesting, except for the occasional CF-188 out of Cold Lake. During Maple Flag, things do tend to pick up a little here. And right now there is Maple Resolve going on at CFB Wainwright, where three USA UH-60s are taking part, and they generally pop into the hospitals around Edmonton on Medevac training flights. In fact just had one a few minutes ago

Good evening have just joined FC, it definitely looks like the site I can peruse to my hearts content. Being a little long in the tooth i look forward to viewing the pages of rather older shows and aircraft as the first airshow that I went to was in September 1950 at Feltwell in Norfolk where my father treated me to a 5/-(25p) trip in a dragon rapide

A bit of a lurker here for some time, the G7 activity plus Typhoons crossing London, where I'm based, the other week, prompted me to register so as to enjoy the forum properly.
