Hey Connery,

I was pretty amazed to see Sally B there. There wasn't a mention of it being grounded by the commentator. I was going to ask the ground crew btu they were way too busy selling stuff!

I hope they have the issues sorted out long term because it was great to see the old girl flying. I was very surprised to see the size difference between the B17 and the Lancaster, the Lanc looked huge in comparison, I don't know if this is truer or if it was just an illusion?

As for the Lightning/F15 debate, its like comparing chalk and cheese, technology wise the F15 would be able to blow the sh*t out of the lightning before the Lightnings radar even thought of looking for the F15 but the Lightning could scramble and get to 30,000 much faster than the F15.

They are undeniable facts, what is subject to personal opinion and MY OPINION, the Lightning is more attractive, maybe not because it actually is, but maybe because it is symbolic of an emotional memorable era? Who knows?! What I am sure of though, is that some of you will agree with me and some of you wont!
