I had the pleasure (except for the ear shattering whine of the start up carts) of being at Offut AFB when the RAF was doing some kind of joint training/deployment with SAC and we had three of these fantastic aircraft stationed there. Aside from the start up noise and their incredible good looks, I remember being stunned at how sharply the could turn at low altitude and speed. They were the stars of Armed Forces Day even when we had an SR-71 and the Thunderbirds (well co-stars with the Thunderbirds). |

Wish I'd seen one, or more flying. They do look lovely. |

As a child in the '60s I remember going to the airshow at RAF Finningley and seeing Vulcans flying in formation.
Glory Days. |

I remember the Vulcan that was used as a flying test bed for the Concorde engines going round and round over our house. That was loud! |
