Gunboat Diplomacy, 2016 style.

Have a watch, chaps - full screen. Obviously this is very serious business, but it's also a great piece of air-to-air footage.

If that doesn't persuade Kim Jong-un to get a better haircut, I don't know what will.

Thanks for linking these, Paul.
The shots of one flanked by fighters don't really tie in with the story, where it did a low pass over an airport near the border.

I liked the second video.

I didn't like the haircut.

Thanks Paul,

A great aircraft when you think how long ago it had it's first flight, 15 April 1952,

I had Alphasim's model in fs2004 but most of the airports were to narrow for it! but it was a fine model.

Cheers,

Roger.

It looks like the BBC has changed the video in that link. Originally it was 100% air to air, with no subtitles. .

This is the video the BBC had up originally.
