When you didn’t know what was going to be there until you saw the tail when you parked up.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

Wonder what we have in store for todays update.

However I am liking the line up so far :)

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2022 - General Discussion Thread

I’m still hoping to one day see the F117A make a return. Now they are being flown openly as aggressors on exercises in the US.

Re: SR-71 Blackbird Coins

I’ve got one of them.

They are a really nice set.
