Watch this magnificent American fighter plane taxi out from the main hanger onto the runway then take off and disappear into the evening sky where it will menacingly return at full speed to leave us reeling and running for cover as it whistles past us just yards above our heads at speeds of up to 400 miles an hour, then continues to keep us glued to it as it performs one of the most fearsome air displays to be seen in England, it will then land back at Station 419 and taxi back to the Main Hanger where we can reach out and touch it. Truly an experience not to be missed.
