In the summer of 1967, we met a British Vulcan crew at Guam. They invited us out to the runway the next morning to view their max performance takeoff. She accelerated with her trademark scream, reached the perigee of runway 06R and lifted off, going 90 degrees nose-up and disappearing in short order. Later that year, we were delayed taking off from Kadena AFB as the SR-71 taxied by and performed an equally spectacular takeoff. Memories of days that will never come again.

@@lukemaney645 seen the B1,B52 and the vulcan many times at air shows. I find the B52 a little boring because it's so cumbersome. The B1 looks great and makes a lot of noise, but the vulcan is a showstopper because of its looks, the noise it makes and most of all, it handles like a fighter, doing a tight display almost within the confines of the airfield. My all-time favourite aircraft at airshows. Sadly we'll never see one in the air again 😔

I grew up with them. I have fond memories of them shattering the silence when we had afternoon tea on a Sunday at my Aunts'. I thought it was fantastic but, afterwards. I could go home to peace and quiet. My Aunt and Uncle weren't too keen as they had to endure them being made ready for flight 24/7 and the whole house would vibrate. That was at Finningley (now DSA) where they were based.

One of the true icons of aviation. Love to see them fly again, though that seems unlikely. The Queen should order that the RAF should operate a living museum squadron, maintaining not less than one flightworthy example of every retired RAF aircraft type that still exists.
