Cheers guys!

You just flew over 54'50'35""N, 4'14'8""W

Bit slow but nicely low heading into the sun. We don't see much of you these days. Miss the wonderful roar of a Tonka in these parts.

You looked and sounded great.

BTW, heard what I gues was a Typhoon earlier. Does it have a Blue Note? The thing I heard did.

Forgive the intrusion on the forum with a civvy, and a civvy who has done most of his flying with the FAA in various places round the world.

Dan.

I'll paint the GPS on the roof for you next time. Just so long as you don't paint me!

the nav set the compass 180 degrees out - they were supposed to be heading to Italy

Dan,

The Typhoon does have a bit of a blue note.


The Tornado GR4 fitted with an empty TERMA pod produces a great howl! It would be a great addition to the Tornado Role Demo.

It was all mine. Just so you know you gave Alfie my new puppy an intro into the world of fast jets. He barked at you and appeared pleased to have seen you off. Just another seagull to him.

Sadly where I am is my second home so I am rarely here during the week. Hiwever, if you need a ref to beat up, target, fly low over and generally use as a waypoint, you have a very appreciative tax payer here happy to see and hear his PAYE in action.

Would it be wrong to say I miss the SHAR?

All of you stay safe. Hope to see you again soon.

Dan.

PS. Cheers for the Vids.
