Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Jaryd, I am not sure of the status of the Tornados, but I suspect they flew in from Red Flag as I saw them fly out early the next day.

Karl, the Guppy is not the PIMA one, it's actually an operational one.

In the meantime, I will post a thread on the next day at PIMA. I am currently in Miami and will be heading off to Portland, Oregon tomorrow to check out Spruce Goose at McMinnville.

The RAF has a detachment of Tornados based at DM - more training airspace there than in the UK.
