Re: Vulcan is back in the sky

I like all the British V bombers, Avro Vulcan, Vickers Valiant, and the Handley Page Victor. I have seen two out of the three types. Have a Vulcan at Barksdale AFB, so pretty much can see that one fairly often. During the first Gulf War there was Handley Page Victor flying out of the base I was stationed at. I think it may have been a tanker variant, looked good in overall tan. I think there were some Jaguars flying out of there too. It was either there or Saudi I saw them (Pylons on top of wing really looks different).

Re: Vulcan is back in the sky

Wow - really? With original underpowered, unreliable Westinghouse (toaster) engines?? Not that I wouldn't love to see it, but I'd stay well back of that flight line!

I hear ya! Hopefully, the engines will be improved, as well as the hydraulics, and the nose gear. If this does come to pass, one day we'll see a "Cutlass" on the airshow circuit, not a "Gutless"...
