Country:  | there're few opertunities for anything like that down here- although our knock about in cricket today was nicely interrupted by a Hawk and Tornado doing some manouvers low overhead, unfortunately within the next few balls i was so distracted i gave away my wicket- nothing annoys an Englishman as much as loosing his wicket........

Country: | I had a similar thing when I was skiing over the weekend. The Tornado's were flying below the level of the hill top (so below me) before rolling onto their side and out of the valley (literally everyone stopped and stared)...

Country: | Depends on the play though, sometimes if it just defensive it is boring but if it is aggressive it is more interesting (which is why I prefer 1 day or Twenty20)...

Country: | By the by. I just read in AvWeek that the Office of the Inspector General (Congress' reporting entity) is recommending that the recent selection of the CH-47 to satisfy the SAR-X program may have been flawed. The report did not go into details, but indicated that the CH/MH-47 may have not been the top performer based upon the SAR-X requirements. Might this open that back up to the MV-22?

Country: | MV-22 wasn't designed w/ SAR capabilities in the forefront, only as a peripheral capability. Extreme downwash I would imagine might be an issue affecting SAR performance. I'm not familiar with this SAR-X program, and couldn't find much about it... enlighten me please.
