I love that flight line shot! Really great photography in all these shots.
Any chance you could convince some of these chaps to come over to the states and do some flying? ;) Sure would be neat to see this kind of thing up close and personal.

At least one of the aircraft shown has resided in the States in the past 5 years, albeit briefly. :)

So NO! Hands off! They're ours! ;D*

*in sentiment at seeing too many aircraft go "the wrong way" across the atlantic, and too few making a journey the other way! ;)

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.
