  • Booms-a-daisy... it's enough to make you weep!

  • @hotspur666 Well put. What I knew at 1000 hours was just about jack. Although I was pretty sure I was a savvy bugger at the time. Being 22 will do that to you. 34 years later I can probably give some valuable advice but as you say, learning continues. Personally, I think you screw up at about the same rate, experience just lets you deal with it in a prompt and easy manner LOL. Bet you it took a while to vacuum up all the f--ks thrown around the cockpit!

  • Oh, dear. Was that just a crosswind gust that made the bomber 'weathercock', or did the skipper accidentally squeeze the brakes when he'd got left rudder applied (so the left mainwheel would brake much harder)?

  • i just love the jetranger pilot shitting himself being face to face with a lanc and pulling back on the cyclic in a hurry!

  • @TopGunSGA oh i just fought the UK one was the only one left in the world well 3 Air worthy could be one heck of airshow formation someday.

  • @SaberTanker22 There actually 2 airworthy Lancs. This one, and one in Canada. There's another Lanc in the UK that can be taxied and makes runs alone the runway, they are hoping to her her airworthy too

  • @jimjamsssssssss

    -It's not a B17 though, it's an Avro Lancaster. Quite different in terms of its reputation.

  • @johnds1963 Cool! your a very lucky guy! lol :-) They never take passengers on the one in England.

  • @bithot2nite Yes. One flies out of Mount Hope Airport just south of Hamilton (also known as John C. Munro Airport). The Lancaster is part of the Warplane Museum collection - well worth a visit if you come to the area. They take passengers up on the Lanc and their B-25 Mitchell for outings - I see them flying over my house regularly.

  • @bithot2nite will now that the Vulcan is flyable again i hear that worth of some good flyby's with this one.

  • @SaberTanker22 There's just one more flying, in canada i think.

  • I saw her today 28/8/2011 flying over Peterborugh - still going strong :-)
