Awesome thing just happened over my house

[texasmom]

Fantastic Video! The guys are right, the Union Jack was the perfect foreground for the Victory Roll. Very occasionally I'll get to see an American warbird fly over East Texas so the Spits were a treat. I will always call the wife out to share in the moment when it happens here.. Your video was a hoot because it was a British couple reacting the same way as my wife and I do here in Texas when a P-51 or F4U blesses us with a fly over. I had to show her the video, she laughed and said "Wow a British John and Judy".  

nice

hahaha!

I was having a pretty long day till that point too. This made my day....no..my month...maybe my year.

I'm glad to share something so magic with my favorite community in the world. It's my absolute pleasure to share it with you lot.

Thanks for that & it looked like those guys knew they were being filmed by you.

Flying off with the flag waving was just perfect!

So, let me get this straight.

Two Spitfires put on a private airshow for you, the rays of the setting sun (sunshine? in England?!?!?!) glinting off their wings, victory roll over the Uniion flag, with your girlfriend asking "Please baby, can we do that together? Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleas e?"




I'm sorry, but I shall be forced to shoot you.

^^^ Yes, what he said!

Talk about a time machine!

The 2nd Spit was stick stirring       

I'm glad to see those old gals still patrolling the skies over there. 

Probably the only fighters you'll see patrolling over here.

I dunno Danny, I saw a tornado back in july low over a field I was in. Although to be fair he did seem far too happy at burning thousands of quid in tax every minute with his re-heats on to accomplish what would be considered a patrol. I think I now have mild tinitus as a side note due to that brave airman but definitely worth it.

Before I moved down under I lived for a couple of years in Benson next to the RAF base (and pretty near you I guess bat)

A few times last summer I would come home from work just in time to see the Red Arrows zooming around rather low over the village making everyone's windows shake

Nice flat!    
ps. you didnt wet your pants, that's just egg whites.....Isn't it?

Instead of watching spitfires fly over me, I get to watch Osprey's, Harriers and F-18's take off and land.  I'm still jealous of you.

Those aren't airplanes.  They're weapons systems.

Beautiful video, marry that girl.

Excellent!  And thank you for posting that. <S>

What is the story behind that?  Do you live near an airfield where they were performing?  So awesome!  (And excellent comment by your wife or girlfriend -- as pointed out, should be your wife if not already. )

[mechanic]

She is a good lass, aye.

Lots of great comments bringing smiles here.

Brooke, no airshows around here that day. There is RAF accommodation very close to where I live and I can only assume it was for some of the top brass. Birthdays, retirements, deaths, or something like that.

[68falcon]

Outstanding  

That was taken on a phone ? Picture quality and sound where awesome.

BTW I agree marry her

A few years ago I was driving in Norfolk and had to stop at a level crossing so that a squadron of F15's could take off. It was Lakenheath I believe. On another note I did an exercise defending RAF West Raynham, was completely intact but for furniture, as the USAF had left it. That was fun
