@boomers_ass MRTT is the surely the lowest risk interim option and would be a decent stop gap. I’m sure USAF exchange crew must have some experience of the MRTT (maybe they say it’s crap).

@scottyeders It’s a Bomber Command plaque folks.

@SteveNomadic Almost tied the record

@xAviation This gets mentioned so many times but has there ever been a mishap attributed to the jets being underpowered?

[Keith Long @klong14]

@clark_aviation 3 Red Typhoons. Use 2 seaters or Trache 1 singles.

@speederaserhead The score in this film is excellent 👌🏻
Moore was my first Bond (Octopussy) and I will always have a soft spot for him.

@RealAirPower1 Sea Harrier and F-4 Phantom are the only ones that have done any meaningful “fighting” against other jets. One was so effective the enemy nicknamed it - La Muerte Negra.
F-8 should also be included.

@Pacman271 @nicholadrummond 3 Typhoon T1s would be a welcome change. The reds have been tired for years, French and Italian teams are much more exciting.

@mjdche1978 @Fahadnaimb Because it was designed to have fans under the wing and not a rehashed design that evolved from a T-Tail.

@Dunkirk_1940 This post just turned my depressing timeline right around.
What a fantastic gift. ❤️

@DrHelenFry Mosquito no contest

@aviationarchive The Thud is such an epic jet.
One of those aircraft that looks even more impressive in the flesh a big old brute!

@BlickyIan @NikonNews What a shot!
I’m a child of the 80s and the Tornado will always be my favourite jet.

@73Falken44 @Cmdr_Hadfield @robmacd72 The Hurricane was the workhorse of the Battle of Britain — rugged, numerous and responsible for most kills.
The Spitfire was the high-performance fighter that could match the Bf 109 and keep the Luftwaffe’s escorts occupied.
