Now then, the mighty F16. Been to a few "shouts" on those beauty's. Mainly the Hydrozine. Managed never to get sucked down the intake unlike a few :wideyed:. Climbs almost as good as the English Electric Lightning, but only almost ;)
true that...almost (smiles)

Really not a problem Tom, keep em coming. As a kid my walls were covered with pictures of cars and planes :thumbsup:

Could also add that I've lived for most of my life with 5 miles of Greenham Common. Would spend a lot of time looking through the fences on the base road at a lot of nice planes like the Galaxy. Attended several of the air Tattoos held there before it closed down, still got the programmes somewhere.

Outstanding, I loved planes as a kid in Brooklyn, if someone had told me then that I would have the life I had in fighters I would have called them nuts but it was amazing and it took me al over the planet, thank you

Tom,

Get yourself a rover 75.

Then you will experience real power and class!
I actually had once back in early 1991, Rover SD1 Vitesse, it had a V8, long nose, four door if I remember correctly, had lots of power but something always seemed to need a repair, had rust issues from what I remember but you are correct about power, it had plenty

The V8 is lovely in a 75 and quite rare
