i've been watching the euro fighter typhoon all last week and today (when there was a gap in the weather) doing lots of what looks like practice spins and loops etc - now that is a job I would like!!

Someone said last week thta he'll be practacing for the farnbrough (sp?) airshow??

Either way it's been great to watch and those euro fighters are noisy fuckers to say the least!!

Incredible pics. Nice one Matt.

A little off topic, wheres a good airshow to go to, to see some proper planes? I used to love the one at Mildenhall when I was a kid, saw the SR71 Blackbird there and it did a low altitude, high speed pass. There was lots of other decent stuff there. Not really into the gay-arse shit.

Bugger, that looks awesome. Would have loved to go to that, but as you said, a little too short notice.

It's RAF actually, even says so on the plaque near the gates, base commander overall is RAF also, though pretty much dominated by the yanks Brigadier General John Hesterman was the chap when I used to be there all the time, most peeps think it's USAF, but not.
Even had a broken arrow incident there in the late 70's early 80's, and still deny nuclear on site!!

Yes it is the only one still flying and will be the only ever one that flies again. Theres afew that do fast taxiing but none will ever fly again not without massive mods to the air frame.

might be a bit far for you but there is a air show up here in sunderland every year..hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of people come from all over the world to watch.so im assuming it must be a good show for people into that..its always around august time.dates etc are probably on the net somewhere..possibly sunderland councils website
