    i can remember when i was young..seeing [and hearing] RAF phantoms quite alot..they where fantastic..i can always remember how smokey the engines where..also when the A-10s where based over hear..they used to spend hours playing around here, usually in groups of fours…i never ever seen a lightning though, they just seemed never to come to this part of the country…..i can remember seeing buccaneers from time to time…the best was when one came right over our house..it seemed to be about 20 feet above the roof….memorys memorys…….

    i think at the end of the day [how meny bombs you can carry] dosent matter in time of war..the most important thing is being able to get to the target, drop your bomb [or 20 bombs] and get the aircraft and crew back to base safley. the sukhoi su-7 was always ridiculed by NATO for having a crap weapon load and a limited range…but in the conflicts they where used they proved very succesful, very popular with there pilots and being almost indestructable..in my veiw its piontless having a aircraft bombed up to the hilt if its going to be a sitting duck and shot out of the sky….remember the poor old F-105 in nam….

    is there a re-engining planned for the BUFFs left..i have heard the US air force plans to keep them in service for another 20-30 years, there must be some modifications done to them if thats true….
