Very cool man!

I've caught the CAF's planes flying in and out of the big airshow at Ellington a few times. Hear the noise and scan frantically for a bit, but you get rewarded with the sight of a B-17 flying over.

Carefull you don't go running into the street (like we do) looking upwards, forgetting about groundlevel objects - fast cars.

Nice one, i live a short distance from RAF Cosford, ive seen the occasional spitfire flying over which is quite a thrill, and more than the occasional chinook helicopter, not so thrilling but damn loud!
