The drip trays in the pic below confirm this think leaks like an old Landie!! Check the oil everywhere and the portable fire extinguisher on stand by haha! Freaking awesome plane though. They flew displays a few years back and are absolute monsters of the sky!

If you're interested, here's an excellent article from Popular Mechanics, January 1988:

I think it was the one Kallen showed me, designed to glow red at altitude from memory
Yeah those Blackbirds could fly up around 80,000 ft and over Mach 3 from what I've heard/read. Nothing around today that can match that, but that capability must be low priority now as they would have advanced on that if the need was still there.Quote:

Yes I've been and unfortunately I did not logon to the forum since I left home mid February to see your message. Would have been good to catch up.
Went Saturday and Sunday as one day is not long enough to see everything if you watch most of the flying display. Brilliant show and so well run.
The F35 only did a few flybys on Saturday but the F22 was unbelievable on both days.
Will be back in 2 yrs for the next one.
