This might be a 'cool story bro' but I was listening to LBC radio about an hour ago and they were covering the olympic athletes doing a parade in central london. They were waiting for the Red Arrows to fly overhead, which they did, on their way to Buckingham Palace. Then they said look outside your house, you might see them fly past. So I was making a cup of tea, went into my garden (I'm in north london) not actually expecting to see anything. Then I started to hear a roaring sound building up and the Red Arrows came from behind me, quite low down and in their classic triangular formation. Flew right over my garden. It was amazing seeing that, kinda surreal going over my house. Didn't get my phone camera ready in time
Was like this, except there were about 8 of them that flew over me.
Sweet, I sat in one of them, think your car would have more controls, cunt wouldn't let me take it for a spin though :L

Btw that's nothing, last Sunday I had the pleasure of sitting in traffic while an airshow was going on nearby. I was pleasantly surprised by the calming blast of an F-16 silently sneaking up on me and abruptly breaking the sound barrier not more than 100m directly above my car. Girlfriend took it better than I did, my head and neck retreated into my shoulders like a tortoise. I would've shit myself if I wasn't such an alpha.

Sure you're sure ?
Drum - check out an airshow sometime, prolly have to wait til next year but I've been to RAF Fairford twice and it's the shit, prolly just as far from you as it is from me so no excuses . They have a mix though, I just found a patch by the runway and drank / smoked myself stupid with some tunes playing, had a chat to the international air forces and have a nose at the planes they parked up to show off. Wasn't just showing off the planes either, of which they had loads, Vulcans, Lancasters, Migs, B-2s etc - but mechanics / firecrew etc all had their part n all
Thought the Chinook pilot at 4.03 had a bit of a death wish, reminded me of, me !, in battlefield
It was amazing seeing that, kinda surreal going over my house.
