I think probably the best Legends ive been to for a while was 2008, and definitely the 2010 main Duxford show in September will take some beating. For those who can remember the centenary of flight show watching a 747 perform over Duxford field will be remembered as a highlight. I didn’t have a digital camera then if but someone can post some images im sure they will be welcome and would bring back memories ? ๐


Not my pics but credited to dmorgan910’s photostream stood with my mouth almost open as this thing seemed to hanging in the air. Was displayed within the confines of the air feild almost at Duxford. :eek::D
I can see there being another Heritage Flight with that theme and having Hinton/Friedkin over ๐
Think that’s highly unlikely now along with anything from the USAF bases ๐
from memory i think she is either in Norway or Holland now but im up to be corrected. The P51 Old Crow is now in the UK undergoing a makeover ?
after another search this came along http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=n167b&source=web&cd=11&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CGEQFjAK&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fvstpic%2F8242559666%2F&ei=zpEwUfvGLcbA0QWu_4DYDg&usg=AFQjCNEq75_uuPe0j2MgNjqpYVP11_SO1g So we may see here again
It’s in Sweden where all the Scandinavian historic jets are kept. Should be back on the circuit this year!!
An A26 Invader isnt a Jet ??? it most definitely has 2 piston engines with propellers on the end :diablo:
Are you refering to ‘Sugarland Express’? If so, whilst it has indeed changed ownership, AFAIK it is still in Europe.
