My job as a tanker w@nker according to [MENTION=750]swindonseagull[/MENTION]
Also a couple of images, whilst flying in a Hercules, which refulled the Phantoms in midair over the Falklands.
Not the greatest of images, but an experience not to forget.
Got so close, so as you can wave at the pilots :cool:

One of our Phantoms held the Atlantic speed record for a while on the old Ark. Loved watching them take off at night!

Anyone know if the red arrows were out around half seven on the 22nd?
I saw numerous trails in a closely matching path looking eastwards from north west corner of Queens Park can’t attach the (grainy) photo I took

Doubt it - I thought they were out in Cyprus this time of year [better flying weather] practicing for the new show season

Interesting reports in the last few days of F117 Nighthawks being spotted in the air over Nevada.

Officially, the Nighthawks were grounded and retired in 2008, but at least some seem to still be active in some capacity.

Apparently flying from Tonapah Test ranges ( not quite Area 51) .......back in 2006 in during my time on Tristars we flew out of Tonapah for a few days supporting 2 Jaguars ( only a year before they retired so no idea why they were at Tonapah!!) .
Tonapah was very strange.....security literally everywhere, cameras banned...as we taxied in/out all hangar doors automatically closed so nothing inside could be seen.

We stayed overnight in Vegas and just flew sorties out of Tonapah..
