My run today (complete with shit time,been getting slow) coincided with the RAF flyover flying over Wormwood Scrubs about 1km south of me. Very cool.

I don't care what anyone says, Typhoon are awesome aircraft.

Awesome, yes, but I feel that these are slightly more awesome. And more expensive, if that were possible.

I like the way it says "US$137.5 million (2008 flyaway cost)" - does that include a year's tax and insurance?

I would imagine, in any case, that these are among the last generation of human carrying fighter craft. The future belongs to the machines.

Yep, although not quite as cool as the one they're named after. :)
