In reply to propwash about the Vigilant as a member of 633 VGS who did the static display of our 5 109s i'd like to point out that although they may not 'go to war' is that all flying is about??? I believe not,

How about the chance for a 16 year old to fly solo, or the 13 year old who has never flown before being introduced into the world of aviation. Before you type out these messages maybe think about the subject in hand. The Vig wasnt built for war, it was built to train and teach.Tthis it does extremely well. Also as a 19 year old student it is a great privilege to be able to take fellow ATC cadets into the air and hopefully plant the seed for the future.

Hi to all other Vigilant and Viking drivers out there!

And thanks to 'The Swinging Monkey' for the prasie, much appreciated.

Very good reply Mr Swift.
Its nice to see a good mature response from one of the younger members of staff.
All others out there - please remember it is for people like swifty_n that the VGS exists. Not for our own personal ego's as suggested by another thread.
Safe landings all.
