Was it not the case that very late in the day the USAF detected a Vulcan flying at 50ft or so, it had come in from Canada, when the USAF detected it the Vulcan pulled up and there were 2 Bucaneers underneath it!
Didn't nearly all the Vulcan's that took part in an exercise to penetrate the US air defences back in the '60s reach thier targets?I took my best ever picture in a F3. Here's me on a trip in Cyprus flying in the rear aircraft of a diamond formation - I didn't realise that the reflection in the visor would come out like this!!!! Quite proud of it
Since we are lovin' the F3 at the minute, here are a couple of pictures I took of a 111Sqn jet a few months ago during a air-air refuelling trip in a VC10
And here's one of the other VC10 we formated out with - fanatastic aircraft - soon to be no more

I remember reading about a test pilot that reckoned if he could drag it down low enough, he could defeat an F16 using an F3.
Yeah JTIDS can really bugger up someones day We had an "event" during one cope thunder where the home team (F15/16) got themselves completely done over by the "donkeys".
Just goes to prove that when they start believing their own BS the only way is down and out!! Tactics Tactics Tactics.
It's like the Jag, an aircraft that has had it's avionice capacity multiplied, however long in the tooth, suddeny is transformed. Real shame they never fitted the HMS and/or wiring out for the asraams on both aircraft, such a force multiplier.

That was my point. The crews exceeded the aircraft.
As they did back in the days of the Strategic Air Command Giant Voice bombing competitions. Whenever the Vulcans took part - they tended to win (against the B-52s and F-111s that SAC put up).
Somewhere in the dusty recesses of my brain I recall a TV documentary that showed how RAF Vulcans took part in either Red Flag or some other wargame exercise and it was illustrated by footage of a Vulcan at zero feet twisting and turning through a valley "somewhere in Nevada" trying to evade "enemy AAA and radar". The footage was accompanied by the comments from USAF radar techs commenting on how those RAF chaps were flying and some wag then cuts in with "... you should see it from out here, its even better"As they did back in the days of the Strategic Air Command Giant Voice bombing competitions. Whenever the Vulcans took part - they tended to win (against the B-52s and F-111s that SAC put up).
Wish I could get hold of that clip, it was simply awesome.
