I was at Fairford last year ......... got in for nowt too ..... Unfortunately I had a falling out with the coach company that I drove for so wont be doing it this year Embarrassed

The one thing that amazed me was how the Americans had everything closed up and armed guards round. The Brits...... on the other hand .... "Ayup mate are ya a coach driver? ........ here see what this is like to drive!!" ... I was in and out of cockpits all day but alas and alack the camera I had then fataly malfunctioned in an intense rainstorm during the day and it fried the memory card.

cheers

very smart afsoc! i ordered a X-Drive image tank with 40Gb of hard drive! believe me, i can store many photos on that one...around 4000 i think when i shoot in RAW! 8)

Boeing is sending their Hornet test pilot Ricardo... or whatever his name is. he was on National Geographic in the 'test pilots' episode. he acted like a crazy fool, but he sure knows how to fly that bug! Wink
