Dang, I’m at Yeovilton again this year with the Harvard booked into the static park, if anyones heading to Yeovilton then let me know we should meet up for a beer
Im jealous! we have no Airshows in the States put on by the Military because of our Governments lack of managing money and the Sequester.http://www.beaufortairshow.com/index.asp :mad:
Nice shots Keets, cant believe the J29 Tunnan can even fly? looks like a Beer can with wings.
Os, i used to enjoy going to the US airshows over here. Alconbury was a great one. I last went to a US airshow at Mildenhall in the summer of 2001, i could be wrong, but I don’t think there was another US airshow here in the UK after Sept… I wish I’d had the hardware I have now at some of those shows.
Agree with you Osprey. One wonder how the Tunnan (barrel in swedish) could fly, not the prettiest of planes. It was capable though in its time. A good “dogfighter” and held the World record on a 500km track with an average speed of 977 km/h in 1954. A year after the record was beaten by the F-86 Sabre.
Thx Keets for great shots! Seems one have to go to England to see Swedish vintage fighter Aircraft.
