Good health and experience over youth and risks taken by them any day.Unfortunately i doubt there are many 30 year olds with many years of experience of flying rare aircraft behind them.

I can agree with the second half of what you say. I don’t think the future looks too brilliant in that regard.

Looks like a fairly clumsy menu in the TGI Fridays style. Pulled pork everything, apparently.

Scotland’s airshows seem to be going ahead. Both of them!

The other section which doesn’t appear to have a great deal of activity is Civil Aircraft Images.

Maybe people finally realised how boring modern civil aviation actually is. :eagerness:

Now it’s turned into a virtual car book sale of rusty junk…”I just got this…what is it and how much is it worth?”.
Not to mention nationalistic fan boys trashing anything that isn’t UK built. Oh well….

It has a bad side as well! :rolleyes: (I consider recycling to be a good thing).

What ‘airshow season’ would that be Alan ?

Some of the good people of UKAR want Thunder City to bring Lightning XS452 over here. What could possibly go wrong. :highly_amused:

Nicola Sturgeon reveals the SNP will start pushing for ANOTHER independence referendum this summer…

The SNP said that the last indyref was a ‘once in a generation’ event. Are they conceding now that the average life expectancy in Scotland is **** poor?

The cynic in me thinks they are simply clutching at straws, and trying to stir up another highly emotive show of faith from supporters, rather than draw attention to their consistently rubbish track record with the powers already devolved, and their pussyfooting austerity-lite approach to Scotland’s economy.

(this forum is) Self-opinionated, vitriolic, jingoistic, unsubstantiated, provocative, argumentative, overbearing…

It has a bad side too. :highly_amused:

I recently did a rally day. Loads of young bloods there. who was fastest? me. and I am too old plus another three. That really is crap you are talking.

I presume you are another boomer holding the torch! :highly_amused: I keep seeing threads dedicated to recently deceased rock stars. The standard rhetoric being “71 is far too young to die!!! He had so much left!” and other contrived platitudes of that nature. The thought of a 92 year old pilot is genuinely terrifying.
