Gulf of Sidra incident (1989)

The second Gulf of Sidra incident occurred on 4 January 1989 when two United States Navy F-14 Tomcats shot down two Libyan MiG-23 Floggers that appeared to have been attempting to engage them, as had happened eight years prior in the first Gulf of Sidra incident, in 1981.  (Link to Wikipedia)

Came across this on footage on U-Tube, the declassified dogfight footage.

Picture Of The Week - No 58 - Buccaneer Aircraft

-

-
Comment:  One of my favourite aircraft, the Blackburn Buccaneer.  For a short while I was involved with the support of the fleet in the mid 1980s and still retain a lot of affection for the type.  I photographed this particular example at the Newark Air Museum in Oct 2015.

Vulcan Aircraft Display

Went to the GreatYorkshire Airshow on Saturday at the Church Fenton airfield.  The Vulcan put on a great display, one of a final handful before it is sadly permanently retired from flying.  Turn the speakers up and enjoy the sound of those four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines :)
