    Please tell me you bought at least a pair.

    Nope, funny thing was after Clinton(?) reactivated the fleet Lockheed or the AF went round trying to buy them back….

    I do have some paint scrapers made from F117 tail fins & some bit of Ti I picked up at a VERY expensive crash site tho 🙂

    The *gloat* part around this neighborhood are Shuttle tiles, I can see the shuttle shed from my front yard… 😉

    Relevance ?:confused:

    Parts laying about… I know where to go find parts of XB70, SR71 & X15…;)

    SR71 rudders were being sold in the local Recycler for $500 each just after they retired them the first time….

    The ex-U.S. military planes, yes (not many civil B-52s or SR-71s) are still government property and loaned to the museum.
    Others have been loaned by their owners..like the Ex-Tora, Tora, Tora Japanese Kate replica (or is it a Val?…I can never remember:)) and the Indian Gnat. See post #3.

    So there are a few potential flyers in that pile?:D

    Nobody had any idea what the weather was going to be like yesterday, today and tomorrow in the middle of the week.

    That’s odd, here in the US we get 5 & 9 day forecasts that are usually right on the money..:confused:

    558 is flying on Wednesday because a kind aviaton related company sponsored the expences to do so. In turn it will attract the attention of those attending Farnborough – tick good.

    Are BAe expecting to garner new orders?;)

    If you know anyone who has access to a CNC PlasmaCam or a waterjet cutter you can knock out copies in minutes. I’ve seen half scale P51 panels for sale someplace. 😉

    That Spitfire song could be improved no end by having Vincent Price, James Earl Jones & Spike Milligan enunciate it.. 🙂

    Watch your blood pressure.

    Now, where in any of my postings have I said I would complain?;)

    It’s about 115/70, Don’t think I’m in any danger of blowing my pump & flapping about like a cross between John Hurt in Alien & a beached Halibut just yet..;)

    Like your new signature btw 🙂
