Today

[paddy]

Today was a beautiful spring day here in Blighty. As i lay on the grass in the sunshine on top of the cliffs at beachy head i watched a Spitfire doing victory rolls over the cliffs and out to sea towards France. Along came another, this one had invasion stripes, sure to be a Mk IX i thought.....
1944 ? no but the cliffs at Beachy head are start of the White cliffs of Dover and are the highest and just 30 miles from Biggin hill where there are up to 15 Spitfires based and a few hurricanes and 109s, Four of the Spits and a Hurricane are 2 seaters and do pleasure trips down to the iconic White cliffs of dover for those with enough cash
A great day out if you can afford it and quite fun to watch as the pilots do their best to get the passengers to throw up

So where are the photos? I am a little envious.

When I worked at a small electronics company in Tulsa, it was out by the main airport. I saw numerous aircraft fly in and out.
A flight of six A-10's landing. Almost couldn't hear them.
A B-2 flying over.
A B-24
A very nice all aluminum B-25 that flew in occasionally.
Several DC-3s
Blackhawk flights went over fairly often as the National Guard base was just a little north of there as well.
A number of other fighter jets as well as the Blue Angels in their F-18's doing a practice show one Friday afternoon. Yeah, work stopped for a little bit as we were all standing outside watching them fly over and do their routine.

I miss being in Tulsa and once I retire will be moving back. Memphis is "home for now" but it isn't and never has been "HOME".

I really miss the airshows we had when I was stationed in the UK.
