The twin-rotor CH-46E Sea Knight crashed in December 1999 as the helicopter was approaching the Navy tanker Pecos, which the Marines were going to board assault-style. 11 men were pulled quickly from the waters after the helicopter struck the ocean, but the 7 others were killed.

Thanks for the info on the Me-109 (or not). The shots were taken many moons ago in Northern Ireland. The aircraft involved haven't been seen here since (to the best of my knowledge) and I just wondered if they were still doing the show circuits.
I'm trying to get a look at the clip that has everyone so worked up but for some reason media player doesn't want to play it - anyone else have this problem or can you provide an alternative url to the same clip?
Took these photos quite a few years ago and was just wondering if the aircraft shown are still airworthy?
Grumman Avenger
Vought Corsair
Me-109
Thanks in advance
Hi All,
pushing 40 and have been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember - dad bought me a couple of Airfix model kits when I was 10 and I've never looked back :)
I contribute to a number of aviation forums as I don't believe it is possible to have one that caters for all...
