Aviation Memories

HiIt has probably been done before, so will probably be shut down, but here goes. Leading on from aanother tread (re Vulcans). I was wondering what brilliant aviation memories people have. Here are couple random ones of mineGoing to RAF Weathersfield Air Shows in the mid 60s. Brilliant hardware, I recall going a dirty finger after running around a Lightnings tailpipe. No ropes around aircraft, strawberry ice-cream, MP's in White Helmets, Gloves and their coreography parking cars.One Sunday in early 1991, hearing a huge din and looking up to see several B52s on there way to Iraq.CAF Airsho'82 - Too much to take in is that really a Twin Mustang, a KIngCobra etc, long before "exotic" types found there way to our shores. Flying in a B-17 at the show.The stunning take-off of the C141A from the 1971 ? Alconbury airshow.Over to youGibbs.
