"[quote=BarryTheAviator,Jul 19 2005, 09:07 PM] A few of the better shots The mighty Globemaster [attachmentid=289] Amazing shot, looks like a big tunnel, how does it hold together? When I was in Chad, a few years ago, I had the occasion to visit one. Sitting in the cockpit is like being on final in a glider... When they landed in Ndjamena (temperature 45c), 1 of the crew jumped out before the plane stopped, just to make sure the wheels were not sinking through the asphalt ! good day! Luc"

The pictures were taken at Royal International Air Tattoo in the UK this summer - an awesome event - the biggest Military Airshow in the world. You name it and it was there - B52, B1B, B2, Lancaster, Phantoms, F16, Eurofighter, Apaches, etc. etc. etc."

At first, it looked like computer generated guys in those blue flight suits. LOL, maybe I have been working too long of hours this week? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]"
