From when we had an aircraft industry that was OURS....I can't begin to describe how much I wanted to fly this!! Nearest I got was polishing the prototype P1 as a sprog cadet at RAF Henlow. A 1949 design done on a slide rule....

[Vulcan Grey]

I've been to airshows where the Blue Angels F-18's were buzzing over the parking lot at less than 100ft setting off all the car alarms!  Same show also had Unlimited air racing warbirds on a Reno like circuit (P-51, F4U, Bearcat, etc...)

 

Largest airshow that I have been to was the grand opening of the Denver International Airport in '93.  They had the Thunderbirds, the Red Arrows, and the Snowbirds among others!

Setting off car alarms - something like this

 

 

This year will be the last year that the Vulcan will be seen in the skies.

^^ how fantastic is that?   

 

It will be a terrible shame if it doesn't fly again...

[ChrisJ]

There's a very expensive modification needed, and they are running out of usable engines - it didn't help that two got trashed last year.
