The Heads up thread!

[Dan4th]

The C-5 was built to be what it is.

The Antonov(s) were simply built to
be BIGGER -- by a few inches in each
dimension.

Bragging Rights...........

Lockheed leads, Ruskies follow.

C-5s will be flying long after the Soviet
aircraft have been scrapped.

So What?

It's an Aircraft, not a Concert!

If aircraft were given out based on who
was deserving, then YOU'D have one, Paul!

That's All..........

You nearly didn't get all 9, Red 1 had some problem or other on take off and was 10 minutes behind the other 8

Looks like he got it sorted though so there should be all 9 in attendance

[Cluny]

Thanks Oli, sounds worth the trip if confirmed and time given. The trip to Cosford by road should make interesting viewing too, even in bits. Anybody going as and when it happens ??

I've asked dad, but its 2 days after a Base Tour 'round RNAS Culdrose and 2 days before our holiday in france, so maybe

[Kermit]

Hope we get an approximate time then, as long as weather holds ! Where would be the best spot in your opinion Oli ? And I hope a few more people from IA will turn up too

[Olicat]

I don't really know, and besides I can't go

[Kermit]

Sorry to hear that, we ll have to take a few good shots for you,,,,,
