WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You laughing, the "wet my pants" comment, and then your sweetiepie says "can we do that together, please, please, please, please"............(if you have not married her yet, go do that right now)..........all of that makes that video one of the best ever posted here.

I have the priviledge of living just a couple of miles from Luke AFB in Phoenix Arizona.  Every weekday at about 6pm, I step outside my front door as the F16's return from their training sorties.  They go right over me, I'm in their RTB pattern and I'm exactly at the point they deploy the first notch of flaps.  It never gets old.

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.

Similar experience here south of Fort Worth, Texas.  Our neighborhood was right under the approach to Carswell AFB.  Before the 90s it was mostly B52s in and out in and out.  But since then it's been a wonderful mix.  I used to sit on my tailgate with my kids and watch formations fly over.  So cool.

But never saw anything as cool as these Spits making runs.  So awesome!~   Thanks for sharing  :cheers:

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".  :lol

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.

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.

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
