I was there 27.6.92

This is an ineradicable memory for me as I was so close my eyebrows were singed.
Pulling out of the loop on a very hot day with loaded tanks to travel to next engagement the plane pancaked with a forward velocity below the stall...
After the silence and the screams a pair of Russian Flankers performed slow rolls over the spot.
I am so delighted to just discover the phoenix will rise from the ashes again and look forward so much to the day I hear she flies again in honour of all who went before.
