Vettes and Jets

I was going to add this one to the Vettes and Jets Thread but the search let me down

Thought I'd share this one that I took today with the aviation nuts out there. This is the Vulcan that completed the "Black Buck" raid to the Falklands in '82.

Thanks for posting Dee Gee. I sure miss the now shuttered El Toro Marine base near me. The air shows were great
