Some of you may remember there was a Mini Meet at the Royal International Air Tattoo last summer.

Finally got around to sorting through and uploading all the pictures but rather than dump them all here I shoved them onto a Photostream on Flickr.

Here's one to whet your appetites.....

 

[KaJuN]

You made me realize I never uploaded all my photos from it to the Book of Faces.

I'll put one up here in loving memory of calvinhobbes' chair. RIAT 2013-RIAT 2013. You will be missed.

Holy cow... that is strong! I did however expected something different when I read "Super 80", particularly from an airline that loves its successor so much.

Anyway, young Deltalina was great! :lol:

:lol: That's fantastic! Loved the cameo by 'Roger Murdock' at the end.

You say there's a plane in that picture?

Dear Frustport Fraport, how the actual fuck do your baggage-handling baboons manage to bend a sturdy metal luggage tag into the shape of a banana? Not to mention the half-hour delivery delay due to all of them being at lunch at the same time...

American Airlines To Phase Out Complimentary Cabin Pressurization

 

[Heathrow]

A Bugatti 100p, a prototype racer built in 1940, but was never flown. A beautiful looking thing. The photgraphed origninal is now restored and based at Oshkosh.

A flyable replica is in the process of being built in Oklahoma:
Bugatti 100p Website - REVE BLEU (Replica Homepage)

Bugatti 100p - (Wiki)

I think it has a Dornier Do 335 Pfiel (Arrow) (Wiki) vibe about it, which was a very fast airplane.

:lol:

American Airlines To Phase Out Complimentary Cabin Pressurization

That's really funny. :lol:

I just hope that none of the low-cost carriers thinks, " ... hey .., I wonder if .."
