Another No Particularly Important Discussion Thread

I met with a chap yesterday, whom I had my first ever fast-jet trip in a Hunter in 1984 in my penultimate year at school as an RAF cadet. He's still flying a plethora of types and thoroughly enjoying it after all this time. He made a comment, which really struck home, which I completely agree with: the 20th Century was the century of aviation, probably peaking around the 70s and 80s. Since then we've (the RAF) has lost a huge inventory and the fun/variety has gone.

I totally agree and put it out for comment, for no other reason than I'm stuck at home feeling groggy and bored.
