I was lucky enough to be stood at the bottom of Brize Norton runway this evening when she left and then screamed back in over my head
Was an awesome experience, and im glad I had the chance to see her flying again.
Without getting techincal................this a beautifull/stealthy/powerfull/inspiring plane that was designed 60 years ago. She is the only one flying after the last one flew 15 years ago!......... Of course she is going to have problems! There just isnt the money to test fly her day in/day out. I can only imagine there isnt a pile of spares and quick answers/fixes to problems she may encounter. You can argue all day long on how the project has been run. But at the end of the day, we should all be gratefull that someone has given us the chance to see her fly again!
After cottismore and tonight.........I know I am!
On a side note.........Is that the first time she has landed nearly in the dark? I have a photo of her coming back accross the runway and if you didnt know any better, you would say its fully dark!
