Carpet bombing were we ;)

Reminds me of a guy I was stood fairly near for while at RIAT last year, whenever an aricraft flew past he had it on constant motordrive, at least 10-20 shots on each flypast whether it was close by or a dot in the distance :-o :-o

He must have had thousands by the time he went home.... and the noise was bloody annoying too =)) =))
