Unfortunately it does give the impression not much is happening with her but once she is open, all will be revealed! 😀
Some more shots of the interior.
A wider shot of the entire cockpit
The interior has all new carpet throughout

All the over-seat lighting will be working shortly and all of the overhear warning signs are up and running.
The exhibition area is located in by the aft toilets 
and some more from Nellis…




Finally, some shots from the visit to NAS Lemoore, CA….




this is how close we were!!
Confused – departure at 0600Z? I was led to believe late morning from someone who ought to know… ???
well, you may get to see some of them closer to home Scooter…. 😉
The gear she currently stands on is temporary and will be replaced with the refurbished ones once they return from the OEM.
She is sitting nose down – apparently she has a lot of ballast in the nose (in place of the radar) to ensure no disasterous tail-sitting occurs. Without the engines in to add weight over the main gear, you get that nose-down attitude….
Nice 🙂 You stayed until they put her away …. I dashed off after the speech as I didn’t fancy sitting in a queue to get out or getting stuck in the mud that the field would have become if it had rained again!!! (it was a red sports car and not designed for cross-country work! 😀 )
please don’t take offense
take offence? not likely….guess who I support…. 😉
Maybe they can have a flypast over the ground when Wolves go back to the Premiership next year…. 🙂 🙂
Well the turn-out at Bruntingthorpe today was amazing! So many people, I had to park on the grass near on the far side of the Cold War Jets area!
I have put my photographic efforts in “Airshow Photos” … the thread is here
🙂
My shot was definitely taken once he was starting to climb again…. 😮
Cheers – I’m hoping to see some from the Park & View!
as with anything, one man’s 10ft is another man’s 25…. 😀 – I stand corrected!
since I was looking though a viewfinder, I could only go on others thoughts – either way it was quite a few feet too few for my liking! I too thought it was going to end up as an accident photo….
well, you’re in luck 😀
There is a full open day on 28th August…..
I saw a load of those for sale at Waddington last weekend…
the Hunter looks familiar…. 😉
