Country: | It is pretty cool Roy. There was on flying at Leuchars. I will say one thing though it is bloody noisy! Don't seem to have any pics of it flying though.

Country: | very much so, it was still flying as we left the show and you could still hear it (in the car with all the windows shut) from at least a mile away and further.

| I took some Typhoon shots at Fairford and it does put on a display but the one that always impresses me is the Grippen. | |

Country:  | I know the proof of the pudding is in the eating but it does seem (to a lay man) be able to out manouver the current crop of European aircraft how it would perform in combat I hope we never have to find out.

| I would back it against anything but an F22.
I am waiting for the first ones to go to the USA on a Red Flag exercise. That is something that I would dearly like to see. | |

I would say apart from the fact that the F-22 is stealth they are equal. Should will Lee, be great to see it would a full array of weaponary.
