Top quality photo.I can relate to all these posts. Euan says when he is at an airport, he always has a look out of the window. Me too, though I used to like what I saw back in the 80's with noisy piston airliners and "polluting" 707's, more than the modern squeeky clean stuff.John, that is a great story. Several years ago on the Lincolnshire Wash, I saw my first ever Montagu's Harriers - 6 of them, all using the RAF bombing mound (marked by a cross) - RAF Harriers were bombing Harriers with dummy bombs. They didnt get struck, but seemed happy to tolerate the noise of the jets and the bombing. A surreal experience!Planes I have managed to get in the seat of are all museum exhibits - Jet Provost, Boeing 707, IL18 and Tu134. Irony is, I don't particularly like flying!</blockquote>
