And as if by magic, here I am at the home of FJ ego, RAF Valley, ready to ooh and ahhh as frightened teenagers commit airborne onanism as they manfully pull the wings off their superjet as they rejoin for some
valuable circuit training


Now, in a real ground to air threat environment (Afghan for example) where making yourself a pretty target is not SOP - would you fly 4-ship run and breaks or would you do something a little more tactical?

Maybe that is why the rotary types prefer singles and pairs and tactical, relatively unpredictable approaches.

Actually you can run and break in a helicopter but we look cool all the time and don't need to show off to those on the ground
