The news mentions something about terrorist attacks:

But if you’re into aviation as much as I am, you’ll know they are on their way to an annual USA airshow down south.

Amazing photo!! I tried to capture this aircraft on video as it flew down the Thames the other day, but couldn’t zoom enough to capture the drama

This is the best I managed:

It’s a fascinating machine:

Love the Ospreys SO much. Last time I saw them was when Obama was coming over. I was at the dentists at Guys with a 22nd floor view. Watching them circling and low flying was quite impressive.

Best I managed today was a boring old wokka-wokka aka Chinook (as I am sure you know lol)

Did at least three trips overhead of my office near HMS Belfast today. Chinooks everywhere all day, too. Felt like I was in a terribly middle class remake of Apocalypse Now.

Saw it flying around Borough Market last Thursday followed by a fully armed Apache. I needed a LARGE drink after those two!
