vulcans,victors and Cuba.

Just caught up on discovery. They really were awesome aircraft. The climb and turn rates for big aircraft was immense. One thing stuck me though, has anyone actually ever seen a victor take of in a straight line, they always look like they are taking off in a cross wind :) and the Vulcan out turning fighters at high altitude, love that aircraft :)

Bear in mind the V-Bombers weren't particularly big aircraft; the B. Mk. 2s were on par with a 727 in outline dimensions and weights ( but with much more wing area and an extra engine ).

Even a KC-135 dwarfed them.
