Congrats 'Mr Dog', on the quality of those pics....

I think you may have had the advantage of being on the other side of the rwy
to the rest of us 'plebs'.

Excellent lighting - we were shooting into the light.

And, for what it is worth, I wholeheartedly agree that the 'Pig' should be upgraded in avionics / weaponry as required - it is an excellent airframe and still has the capabilities that are unmatched in many ways by any of our 'potential adverseries'.

Much more economical and flexible, than purchasing at MEGA $'s, other designs which simply do not fill the same 'niche' in operational capabilities, for OUR 'potential threats'....
Ya got that right Chuck!

Horses for courses I would say, and that is despite the references to Lancasters etc.

Anyway, them's my thoughts....

Cheers, and IF I ever make PM....I'll Keep 'em!
