It was a bit 'sign on' but no worse for that. Someone paid a lot of money for that film and frankly, they did a great job.

I enjoyed it. Having done tactical low level and AAR tankers, now working with fast jet mission systems and AWACS, it's good to have a little look at how it hangs together.

I also took the RAF Buccaneers over to Red Flag for their first appearance - they did SOo well.

Thanks

I think the biggest moment of bravery was from the dude standing next to the engine being run up to full reheat

...about minute 28...

There's nothing in it about Crazy Horse 2 or the Elephant Bar!

Err, some HUD images show an altitude of c.10k' when at extreme low level over the bondu. The joys of CGI. I suppose Mary Poppins couldn't really fly either..........

Col Mustard, pedant here. Would you mind awfully changing the title to 'Thought you might like'?

Thanks
