Sadly it will probably get bought by a property developer, who will turn it into a nice exclusive community. He will make ten times the asking price for the land in house sales.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I'd join in with a tank.


Just erase the national markings and no one will ever find out...

Air cover for the heist, probably better of going to Wattisham for an Apache.

Cool - if only SimV could buy it...think of the possibilities ;D

About the world bank heist:
Okay guys, here's the plan - I'll distract the cops and you go in through the back door. Then MrJake brings the getaway vehicle (with Bjorn's tank support) up, Anark arrives in the Tornado and covers the skies, we get the money, exit the building, cover it in marmalade, and with tank and air support, we're off.

Sound like a plan? ;D
