RIAT - Fairford
Is anyone heading along to RIAT at Fairford this weekend?
Me and a friend will be there Saturday from early o'clock - Not sure if we will be in the R or a Saxo yet, but if you see the R give us a wave! |

Well they got the Vulcan back in the air today after it had to spend a few weeks on the deck getting a pair of engines changed, real shame to have lost two engines as this means no further working spare units, I just hope they can keep it in the air for a couple more seasons.
The MV22 Osprey should be flying and a B2A stealth bomber on static along with a BUFF which are all aircraft you don't see too often in the UK these days - Mike |

Have a dig around for the Brazilian Airforce Mirage 2000 fly past of the high court building last weekend, it's on the Tube and shows to very good effect what going through the Mach does to a glass windowed structure - I bet the lead pilot is in deep Sh1T for that pass, impressive though - Mike
