I was in the company of a former Lightning F3 pilot, a distinguished elderly gentleman in his early 70’s, a couple of years ago at Farnborough.
It was during either the the MiG29 or Typhoon display (can’t quite remember which) when he leaned over to me and tried his best to shout through the racket:
‘Absolutely remarkable, these modern fighters. Shame they can’t climb like we could, though…’
