[hansonfan1199]

[hansonfan1199]

[bkmart79]

i was the one that launched it out that day. we were laughing at all the stuff flying around out there. we only fly every other year. we will be at mildenhall in sept for another airshow

[hansonfan1199]

hahahahahahaahhahahahahahaha!!­!!!!!! dear dear dear LOL. wish i was there to see! haaaaaaa xD got me laughing now.

[Racerman24]

ahh nearly got blown over by this at the other end of the runway before it went to the other end to take off because it needed to get going haha!

peoples hats were everywhere, others were on the floor, one guy had just put suncream on and had grass blades all over his face and another had his umbrella trashed by it that alone made it worth the £20 because of how funny it was

[hansonfan1199]

Yeah it is! ... I was also disappointed, its an amazing plane, very loud! All the pilots was waving to the crowd as they was going down the runway thing ready to take off. :)

[fordy231]

A truely awsomme plane. The worst thing they have ever done at the air show is not fly this. I was extremely disapointed this plane did not fly.

[whitewingsrich]

@fordy231 There wasn't even one on static display 2010!! Mind you the 2 F22's compensated for that lol

With one of the themes for 2011 being 'Tiger 50', The 50th anniversary of the NATO Tiger Association (NTA) there will pretty much definately be a BONE there as 37th Bomber squadron, from Ellesworth AFB in South Dakota is a Tiger Squadron. so we may see the regular pair of BONE's

The famous saying ' Rockwell B-1B Lancer, Bad to the BONE' !!!
