Here's One For the Heavies Guys

Here's an opportunity shot of an E3D I took on the way to the Flying Club today. The ESM pod passed about 10 feet above the roof. Wish I'd caught that shot

That's pretty cool they let you keep your military aircraft in your own backyard.

OF course that'd really improve your reaction time.

Don't be too pessimistic Steve. It really does work well. It's just like the cover in the military. All provided when you need it.

Nice picture. I never did get a ride in an F15. Would have loved to. The F16 was cool though.

I'm finding that already

Golf needs to feature again and I really must get those rotors fitted.

Thanks again for all the kind wishes.
