Oh bugger. Was sort of expecting it but still

I think many of us could see that coming, such a shame!

by **Jigsaw** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 9:48 pm

Some consolation.

Team Viper - "I'm sure you will see a few display, maybe a pair, but not as Team Viper. The pilots have new projects for 2012. Some as individuals, others? Well, lets wait and see what they come up with for 2012. Watch this space. Again, thank you all"

Just when we get probably the most beautiful fighter jet aircraft flying as a team, its gone! Double damn.

That's too bad!

Had a chat with a couple of them at waddo (I think) a couple of years ago. Really nice blokes

Oops I hadn't seen this thread. My thread has been quarantined but Gaz post moved.

Still a shame Team Viper have gone.

Glad I saw them a couple of times last year!

Fingers crossed that their aircraft will still be flying in some guise, although XE601 will be sorely missed...

At least all of the aircraft are still flying.

At least noone crashed and died.

Perhaps it was conflict within the team?

Who Knows?

Thank God they built so many Hunters!

I still remember seeing them in Switzerland!

Wintertime over the Alps!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was out buying my wife dinner for her birthday. Now, like a true Hunter, an evening of banging and load ejection is in order (I have added my own blue note eh)
