    maybe it's a cultural thing, but a Texan guy called Mike on the bus back to Cambridge was somewhat annoyed about it, he though it made Americans look foolish.

    Great to see the F22 though, never seen one fly before.
    Both true, Gromit. I was indeed over critical and the music was awful

    To make it clear: I didn't want to offend the Americans at all. (in fact a third of my family is American...) I criticize the manner the US forces presented this plane. I looked at one of those big speakers and thought do they mean this serious or it is the attempt to copy a News Reel from Paul Verhoevens Starship Troopers (would you like to know more...?). I think this self image of the military made me angry somehow. The F-22 is a real burner and very impressive.

    Don't worry about it, Henry. We all need to choose our words carefully. [Please choose one.]

    Since we now have Lewis' story, here's the definitive source on Gromit:

    Now you know... the REST of the story!

    As commanded by Kommodore Widukind I hereby proudly present you two more photos:

    JG4 members together with Danger Dogs:
    20160709_215258.jpg

    JG4 members surrounded by ACG:
    20160710_165024.jpg

    And for the ones who are sick of watching weird men, our "war correspondent" Henry made some nice warbird photos that he published in a photo series on stern.de.

    Our thanks to Lewis for sharing the ATAG-JG4 photo and our thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! All of us had a blast experiencing the airshow and museum but also seeing so many faces of fellow pilots for the first time!

    This was in a pub in Cambridge, on the Saturday evening...
    Dunno which pub...

    And as for 'meet up'... well, it was more of a chance encounter, like some RAF Squadron could've experienced in the summer of 1940, over Kent, 'meeting up' with a bunch of Luftwaffe aircraft ... or vice versa ...

    Edit: I remember it like this: when we entered the pub, there was this group of foreigners sitting at a table, finishing their dinner, and we kinda quickly found out they were German... but we ignored them, steered away kinda, we had to, as, well, you know, the very wise words a fighter pilot once wrote, "never from below or at same altitude... only from above...." and as the pub did not have a second floor, well, we were stuck at their level, and as they outnumbered us as well... what else could we do but ignore them?

    Did not work in the end, as they royally recognized us
    And then we had to get into the same frame ... for the picture.

    Still, they left before we did, so, in the end, all of our pubs belong to us!
