So frighteningly massive

the shape of this plane is 1a ;)

and it looks so unreal..maybe because it has that big wings and such a little stabilizer

This aircraft was a miracle in the making. From the early 70's when I first saw it flying at an Air Show near my home city where I live to the last time I saw it at an Air Show in 1984 along with the Concorde were the highlights of the show. At one time before safety and sound regulations you used to be able to see and hear all aircraft fly closer overhead of the crowd spectators. But unfortunately because of tragic crashes over the years and decades along with insurance liability reasons

Thanks for posting. My first airshow as a kid was at Cosford in the late 80s, and the vulcan displayed that day too. We saw a lot of aircraft that day, but the one I remember best was the vulcan, and the incredible noise. My brother was shouting somthing in my ear as it flew past, and I couldnt hear a word. It just seemed to suck all sound in like a black hole, as it did a slow nose up arse down pass over the field. Fantastic aircraft.
