America

has never liked the fact we ment supersonic on land first and this looks like a belated attempt to go a bit faster,It looks bloody dangerous to me but then again starfighters alway look dangerous to me,Surely they could do better than this?Still they only go first supersonic aircraft by copying what Miles were doing the the UK.

my Top Ten

1)Spitfire-any mark but mark9 is fave Mainly do to Mr Ray Hanna and seeing him fly since i was a kid.
2)Hunter -the most beautiful jet built in my view.
3)Concorde -must lovely airline to fly and a legend.
4)Hurricane- underated yet largely won out freedom
5)Tigercat- power and beauty in one.
6)Seafury-piston power at its best
7)Lightning jet-just a amazing aircraft Britains last great fighter.
8)Vulcan-beautiful and amazing in the air.
9)Lancaster-just because 4 merlins together cant be beat for sound and looks great too.
10)Mosquito-Great aircraft looks perfect and is aircraft i miss the most on airshow scene.
im sure i could name more that i love but spitfire always be my fav
I missed out Buccaneer,P51,and Harrier because only had 10 places to pick for.

Maybe the Golden age..

Is gone if this the is the case September 11th is the main cause it was a world changing event that caused a reaction that still will rumble on for many years,The fact is we now are living with the terrorism threat it was obvious insurance companies would hike there insurance prices to cover this,THe awful events of Biggin Hill 2001 will never be forgotten by myself and anybody else who was there but at the end of the year figures for airshow crashes in uk were no worse than other years.
I hope Ray Hanna can start a debate like it says in the Paul Coggan report in Airplane,it would be intresting to hear what other operators views are,Rays operated warbirds in aerobatic
routines safely for years and his oppinions are very valid so lets hope a debate can be started as im wondering what operators are on what side of the fence on this subject.At all costs we must try to keep our preservation movement in this country,THESE PLANES WERE MADE TO FLY LETS KEEP THEM IN THE SKY.

Sad Sad Day

Didnt get to see last flight today can not believe its over this is a pathetic end to a great aircraft i still believe both BA and Air france knew she had potential for a new owner sadly we never got to see her in Virgin colours instead we going to see them gathering dust in collections thats not the way it ment to be.

Pity

that people in England aint so into this world cup we done great if it was footy england be party time intead it seem be almost forgotten.
