Tell you what, I was thinking today and all, perhaps we need a separate list of “frustratingly rare for what they are” 😂

In the U.K.:

- a fat tank Chinook HC5;
- a BATUS-coloured Gazelle; and
- a FOST Dauphin.
Chinook HC5s are pretty frequent over my house and must be even more so at RAF Odiham. As far as I can tell they are just another cab to the operators.

It's tricky, this, as I've been going to airshows since the late 1960s. Might be easier to list the jets still flying that I'd most like to see again:

F-4: still my favourite, can't remember the last time I saw one fly.
B-1: graceful, lovely and VERY noisy.
Harrier: innovative and fun!

No longer flying:
SR-71: never saw one fly.
KC-97: saw one at a Greenham Common IAT but didn't really appreciate the significance (too young!)
Lightning: just for THAT takeoff - never failed to impress.

Hi chaps, very simple : old stuff still (somehow) in service.....

a) Anything Iranian, pref F-14 Tomcat, Mirage F1, F-5
b) Pakistan Mirage III/5
c) Russian / Ukraine Navy Be-12

None of that will happen of course, because
a) It's Iran
b) Flood / India stuff
c) War

And then I woke up. Rupe 🙂
Name someone who loves you enough to die for you. I can only think of 1.......there is only 1
