same here- some but not all :(

even so, the wider shots - it'd probably be easier to identify the different a/c types NOT in the picture! \:D/

I know everything in aviation costs a bomb [pun intended] but isn't it so sad that we have lost all these differant a/c over the years, when I think how I took them all for granted when they were plentiful it up sets me some what,
lightenings, buccs, phantoms, victors, jags, to name a few. It would have been fantastic to have had a couple saved to an historic flight, they could been flown on rotation, a couple of differant ones each year... :(
