Was just watching the news & there was a news flash that a Harrier GR9 has just crashed on its way there The pilot ejected & is alive but injured but thats all they know for the minute Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Oh Minerva, I caught a snippet of this on the news, but wasn't listening fully. Thank god he got out ok. Planes give me the eebee jeebees.......wouldn't catch me on one for love nor money .....quite ridiculous considering I used to be in the RAF Hope the pilot makes a good recovery and your day out goes well Edited July 14, 2006 by Bagpuss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted July 14, 2006 Caught a sky news ticker tape after leaving first post and said no injuries to pilot or civilians. Wonderful news Minerva, have a ball with the eebee jeebee planes...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lil_me Report post Posted July 15, 2006 Have a great time. Harriers are great but I have a soft spot for the Tomcats, pity it's a US aircraft (spot the nerd who spent too long with the ATC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minerva Report post Posted July 19, 2006 well its a US air base so lots of their planes are there too no f14 tomcats tho....they did have the f16 and f18....along with a loaddddddd of other amazing planes from all over the world.....including the mig29 OMG that plane is fantastic!
