Hi all,
Just adding a few more pics to military collection!
This was a 9 ship flypast that I took part in after my graduation a while ago at RAF Valley. I am flying the aircraft with the ring around it.
Hope you enjoy them! I have a video of the flypast but i'm trying to edit it to upload it onto here for you to enjoy!

Oh wow! Very impressive Lee - you must need nerves of steel for that flypast formation.
Your posting is very timely as I have just been reading my father's RAF Logbooks. He was a pilot in the RAF during WW2, and his logbooks make fascinating reading (every minute of flying logged, including his formation flying stuff), but I imagine his planes were quite, quite different from yours!

They were very different but younger RAF guys like myself still love sitting and chatting to the WW2 veterans. Some of their stories are fascinating and a lesson to us all!

Great photos, When do you join the red arrows?
I'm picking up an underlying theme here.
Good looking, fast jet pilot in uniform...semingly endless chain of ladies cooing oooohing and Ahhhhing. Oh lee how marvelous you look, oooh Lee, how exciting.
(Lee, any chance of borrowing your G-suit for a few days over Christmas? I've got a few parties to go to!)[msnsmile2]

i like a man in say firemans gear, or even a policeman!!! wow yeh a copper!!![msnwink] but army, well that uniform makes them look real manly!!!!
I'll see what I can do.[msnwink]
Its my dream to go up in a fast jet, think I am bit of a female Top Gun, closest I have come is taking the controls of a Concorde flying at 60,000ft at 1420 miles an hour[msnwink]
Luckily there were no fare paying passengers on board at the time[msnwink]
That must have taken your breath away.[msnsmile2]

But I do agree that the army are streaks ahead of the other forces where sport is concerned, especially in rugby.
