Possible but just hope there is not a Plan B from China ;0)

 

Correct. Just as I am able to hold and express my own personal view, as I did in the post that you continue to whine about...

And on this...

Way to keep it positive...

As I enjoy tennis, you appear to enjoy drama. If you want to keep injecting it into this thread, go ahead. Or you could just let it go...

 

Like I said .. last word Larry ….. thanks for the whining jibe as well (classy level of debate as always)

 

I just call it as I see it mate.

 

Indeed

 

This video reminds me a little of "The Few" in the Battle of Britain. Those pilots were outnumbered and flying against the most formidable, battle hardened air force the world had yet seen. It was a close rum thing but in the end they prevailed. Only time will tell if this happens in Ukraine.

 

It’s funny you put rum as a typo… I was reading a book by a WW2 pilot. Some of the losses in the early years were horrendous and avoidable as they slowly evolved the right the tactics and while they replaced aircraft that were outdated and outclassed. Anyway he describes a wild party drinking a rum and whiskey mix…And then leaving at 3am to drive 100m back to his base to start an operation (stopping only to illegally remove his blackout strips from the headlights as he could not see straight ;0) He did not survive the war and was a decorated and successful pilot, so I guess we can forgive the party spirit(s)

 

On the roof this morning cleaning the leaves off, and got a nice flyby...

 

While that’s my Sunday sorted…

 

So I have been taken up for a full Battle of Britain aerobatic experience in a T6. One of the pilots is also a display pilot on a Chipmunk team. On a recent visit to the RAF museum London, Hendon @SpeedyPhill only had eyes for the Chipmunk … well and the lightning.
People might worry about flying in an old aircraft…. While try surviving this (oldest chipmunk flying) in a modern aircraft.

Caption this.



I'll start:

Hey! I can see a space for another antenna!

 

Gotta be careful walking around this thing. You could lose an eye...

 

If walking is bad …… just don’t try flying in-formation for too long ……

 

Time check

If only I had a time machine...

Saw one of these in Flying Cloud a few weeks ago

 

Shocking and tragic news to see the loss of B-17 Texas Raiders and a P-63 in a collision on the news.Very sad for the loss of life and also such iconic aircraft. Per aspera ad astra, RIP.

 

Just saw some video footage. Just horrible. The crews didn't stand a chance. Prayers for those loved ones affected by this accident. It's also a sobering reminder on this Remembrance Day weekend that this kind of loss of life amongst aircrew was once commonplace. Lest we forget.

 

Picked up another one here in theater.
