There are many former USAF bases that
haven't done very well......

Ours, which used to be a SAC base called
Dow AFB, has actually done rather well
over the years -- it actually turns a PROFIT!

When the Space Shuttle was still
flying :(( there were employees
trained by NASA and a facility with
various equipment in the event one
had to land here........

When the Concord(e) was still
flying :(( both the AF and BA
Concord(e)s were regular visitors
with trained groundcrew here and
a spares store to fix 'em if required......

The public at large barely knows
that KBGR exists, but it is here
none-the-less.......

Two translations might suit:

1. "This is jolly good fun"

2. "F*** awesome" ;)

Awesome show, haven't been able to go since I joined the Vulcan, think the last one I saw had 38 warbirds on the finale fly past. Awesome.

But why does it have to clash with Waddington ~x( ~x( :(( :(( :(( :((

Definitely can't do both :(( :(( and Waddington will always come first based purely on location (And I'm not stupid enough to even ask mum if she wan't to do both =)) =)) =)) =)) ).

Great advert for it though :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Corsair was used extensively by your
Fleet Air Arm way back when and had
an influence on British Naval Aircraft
design thereafter.........

Fast, Rugged, Deadly.......

I presume that's in America! :-o




I wonder what the reaction would be if someone actually does something NOTEWORTHY, like finding a cure for cancer or that sort of magnitude? :-o
