RE: Major Airshow Accident In UK

Hi mig21umd, Yes it was civil registered, but where escape systems in ex-military aircraft are part of the original design, the CAA recommends that they are kept in working order. This suggests that most ejection seats are kept active where possible, but if they cannot be kept live, it does not prev...

RE: Greek F-16 Down IN SPAIN: 10 Death

Sad news.

From images on the news in the UK, it looks like the aircraft has gone into other parked aircraft, presumably following problems on the take off run. Harriers, a German Tornado and an F-15 from Lakenheath could all be seen in various shots close to the incident.
