Slightly naff in it's presentation imo, but there's some lovely aircraft in these.

The first one is about ten minutes long, the remaining four are linked.

Red Flag was cool! Although the Tonka's would be down after 10mins...dead. Busy lineys. LOL. The aircrew would moan that we never stand a chance as we always play by american rules, close combat, whereas the brits prefer long range.

Yeah, that crashes and smashes one is awesome and scary!

I've had a look on You Tube but can't find it. Might have to pop over the dark side of the runway and see if a copy is over there

Would love to see footage of Vulcans and Buccaneers taking part the 70's and 80's - quite surprised there's none about on Youtube frown

The Brits missed a trick that video. Whilst the Americans et al plod around the airfield taxi-ing to the runway with the ground crew dancing around like loons, the Brits could've just banged their Harriers into "vertical". YES, I know it probably couldn't be done with a full payload, and yes, I know it'd consume a lot of fuel, BUT, just how cool would it have looked?
