I can haz cheezeburger?

I'm surprised Alice Cooper wasn't in there already. Good to see Bon Jovi there, Richie Sambora deserves recognition.

I use a Sony A200, with the stock 18-70mm kit lens, a Tamron 70-300mm and a Minolta 70-210mm F4 Beercan. Went for Sony in the first place due to the plethora of old Minolta AF lenses available, that share the alpha mount.

Every now and again you see something a little bit sneaky on Flight Radar 24, the other night I watched an Omni Air 767 going into Shannon, from "somewhere" in the middle east.

I would have no problem with him being kicked the f*ck out of the country. He's not some stupid kid, he's an adult, he should have known better and there's no excuse for what he did.

Wait, your sons get to wear polo shirts to school? Completely not fair at all, shirt and tie every day for 13 years was not fun at all, especially when it was hot in summer.

This is simply more hot air wafting from O'Leary. He's done it dozens of times before, and he won't stop doing it. Why you say? Everytime he says something that is deemed unorthodox or tabboo in the world of airline travel, the media screams their heads off until their blue in the face about it.This translates into completely free advertising him. He knows exactly what he's doing, and to be fair, it's working quite well for him so far seeing as Ryanair is the largest low cost airline in Europe, (even beating Queesyjet) and the third largest airline in Europe based on pax numbers alone. The thing to remember with Ryanair is if you can get away with using them as ruthlessly as they operate, i.e. short hop flights, no baggage; quick on and off, then they're great because they're dirt cheap. However this is not the airline you book with if you want a nice, relaxing, trouble free start to a family holiday.

Happy Birthday Mike!

I want 12 ponies. Now.

Uploaded by LM yesterday, this was a bit of a surprise.

That article has stated some very bizarre ideas... I highly doubt the J model Hercs will be retired at all, they're only 10 years old. No doubt they will work alongside the A400M when it arrives in service. I do not see the GR4/4A being got rid of, they would lose one of their best all weather, day and night ground reconnaissance assets, not to mention it's ground attack capability. Same goes for the Nimrod MRA4, not only will it delivery all sorts of recon capability, but like has been said, the Government have already ploughed so much money into the program, it would be foolish to back out now. (Especially seeing as the RAF have already taken delivery of one) A couple of things in this article were even more remarkable... 107 Typhoons at a single base? That's just absurd. Not happening. What twat thought that up? But this last one made me chuckle the most... That won't go down too well with either unit. I have to say though, I've been impressed with how the RAF have managed to acquire "special" assets under the radar and generally keep publicity to a minimum, their Shadow R.1's, Diamond Twin Stars and Britten-Norman Defenders spring to mind.

For anyone in the UK, I highly recommend the Gurkha museum in Winchester.

^ Want that! ^

There's only one way to deal with a caribou nibbling at the hoops!

100% spot on, I saw this at RIAT in 2003, knowing I'd never see it again... http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Lockheed-F-117A-Nighthawk/0600507/L/

Many happy returns mate!

Great shots mate, you've captured both aircraft wonderfully.

My Condolences X RAY, rest in peace.

Happy birthday!

Many happy returns!

Epic song, but in the immortal words of Eric Cartman... "He's cheesing his f**king balls off dude."

This isn't usually my type of thing, but this song is massively "summer". Perfect for relaxing in the sun.

Damn Ant, you caught Miss Demeanour! I managed to get G-SABR a few weeks back at Duxford... Unfortunately I was fumbling with my camera as it did a perfect low and fast fly by just before landing By the way, did you have to stop down your Bigma?

In addition to the aforementioned drones, there is also Russo's Firebee... http://combatace.com/files/file/406-bqm-34-drone-for-strike-fighters/
