HI George

I've moved it because it's not British Classic or Flightsim :)

Yes, but it's out of the mud now and has been taxied since without finding the mud (will it ever dry out? It rained AGAIN today and is supposed to rain again Monday!). :xsmile:

Can't wait to see the first "Red Air Force Gathering" here in the states. Will be interesting.

Never ever thought I'd see an airworthy Su-27 in civilian hands. Must say I don't hold high hopes for the CAA allowing such a thing in the UK!

Also, with regards to the MiG-23 that's been mentioned, is that one destined to become a flier?

Yep. They also have a MiG-21UB being put together to fly and have an Mi-24D waiting on paperwork with the other in assembly. The Mi-24s will be the only privately owned Hinds in the world.
