Title: Huge RAF flypast
Post by: V8MoneyPit on June 11, 2008, 13:10:17

Just (about 12.45) had formation after formation of Tornados and other aircraft fly directly over us. It turns out to be a practice for Saturday.

It seemed never ending! They just kept coming!

That'll be from RAF Marham, the new home of the tonka!

Strange to say, but I kind of miss them.....  :'(

I'm surprised that so many aircraft could be brought together, with shortages and all that.  Then again, I suppose they could all be the ones that are in flying condition but out of action for anything else.  :lol:

We say some of them fly over our work today at Sunny Sutton Bridge - counted 16 tornados in one formation flying very slowly.

we're used to seeing planes flying out over the marshes for bombing practice runs but never anything like this before. It had the whole office looking out the windows....lol
