Great achievement by everybody. Hope it keeps going, Saw it last year.I know I am being extremely picky here, but am I the only one who gets a bit irritated by the slightly over the top 'She' this and 'Her' that. It is not a beautiful woman, or even female. It is a metal, rubber etc.,etc., killing machine, which, though graceful, surely cannot be described as a 'she'
It is an 'it'. I can think of no other aircraft that is referred to in this manner, and, if any aircraft DID deserve such an accolade, it would certainly be, yes, you've guessed it, the HUNTER!!!!!!
