Well, it said so... but I could not believe they would be able to do this... it's daft anyway. Too vulnerable being so close.
Probably F16s then? But even that would be an unusual battle formation over hostile territory...?

The Royal Air Force has amassed an operational record—and a reputation—that few can match.

There When it Counts

By Rebecca Grant


In early September, NATO forces operating near the town of Tarin Kowt in Afghanistan came under sudden insurgent attack. On-scene controllers called in USAF A-10 Warthogs—and Royal Air Force GR-9 Harriers. The Harriers dropped general-purpose and precision guided bombs on a building used as a mortar firing position. Another Harrier bombed enemy fighters in a nearby town, then launched rockets against enemy forces hiding in a tree line. In the wake of these RAF strikes, the insurgent attacks ceased.

V-22 mishap probe prompts US fleet restrictions
By Stephen Trimble

Believing a design defect aboard the Bell-Boeing V-22 is likely to blame for a second in-flight engine fire, the US Navy has placed a flight restriction on the US domestic Osprey fleet and ordered the contractor to rush deliveries of a modification kit.

Special clip I filmed at the MAF nearly ten years ago I reckon. Features a single F15C Eagle accompanied by a pair of P51 Mustangs in the 'Heritage Flight'. I love these mixed formations - the sight and sound is breathtaking. It illustrates how large the F15C - in some respects the modern equivalent to the WW2 P51

Cheers! It's hard work keeping up with you!

My latest on YT is a snippet from an ancient BBC 'World About Us' doc on the CAF.

I am annoyed to only get a bit of this - blasted tape must have run out. We may never see it aired again... and it will never be on DVD.

So enjoy the Pearl Harbor sequence in the clip here:
