It's still news though isn't it? As Angels49 said, it's pretty rare for any incident involving the Reds to happen. You could see the crew were ok just from the title so you didn't have to read it if it was just going to annoy you! Just because there's been one big incident in Spain doesn't mean the rest of the worlds aviation news has to be put on hold..
And I don't know whether Cranwell has a barrier but the aircraft ended up hitting the air traffic control tower and some cars that were parked near it.
From the BBC website..
However, it is believed that the aircraft touched down on the runway and then an undercarriage leg collapsed, causing the aircraft to veer off the runway and into the ATC carpark.
Now I do like that angle on the Seaking, very unusual!
True about Farnborough lacking the punch other shows have, and although it is a trade show, I do think it doesn't compare to the likes of ILA and Paris.
It really depends, at Waddo there was a 17Sqn Tiffie fully loaded up for the ground attack role, but I believe it's mostly seen in the above configuration.
Cheers guys, that Pakistani Orion was very nice to see, just gutted didn't get to view it up close.
'Tis indeed a Nord 262, pretty rare in the UK nowadays. And I don't have a clue who/what Max Holst is!
Made it down to Fairford yesterday to catch most of the stuff leaving for home. Some interesting departures, some not, lots of cloud and not much sun..
Hope you liked!
