Royal International Air Tattoo 2007, RAF Fairford, 10th Jul'07 (Tue arrivals)
Tuesday saw my trusted chauffeur Lee drive me to Fairford...! It was 20c, and I had jeans, and a t-shirt plus a jumper on...! I was cold, as left the UAE the day before with 49c...! Anyway, the airfield belonged to the USA still, until closure Tue evening, so the Thunderbirds & Stealth's made the best of this and arrived...! The Thunderbirds F-16's arrived and also flew a "local recon" for an hour... yawn yawn...!

The two jets were parked together outside for a very short time only
Possibly the last appearance at RIAT for the F117 ? Why, because they're all being retired in 2008..!
