Amazing - and they're noisy beasts as well, so I bet their ears were ringing for a while!

no pretty sure its a jag... to long and slender to be a harrier.

It was the dirty great round air intakes that made me think it was a Harrier...

(I'm starting to sound like a sad anorak...)

Off to sunny Spain two weeks ago the 29th. Held up by two F22 fighters there for the Sunderland airshow. Split to Teeside airport where they and others (the red bull plane too) were based.

Returning from the display on the beach they buzzed the terminal building with afterburners on. Everybody shook to bits and deaf. Round agin, no afterburners and filled the checkin with kerasine fumes, them did a low level pass over the length of the runway about 10 feet up, afterburners on. Presumably making the runway sticky for his landing. The whole shook, stunk and the noise was, well, for me superb!!

Then as we were ready to take off we were further delayed by one taxiing up the srvice road! to the very far end of the runway. Then he shot off down the runway and was airborne in about 50 yards. Then the red arrows came in. In formation of course, peeling off, looping the loop. We sat there for 40 minutes while all this poo was going on. The real airshow must have been fantatasic!!
