Avro Vulcan XH558 is being retired again.
I have had the privilege to see these awesome machines
fly many times in the 70's.They proved themselves capable of aerobatics
at two AAFB Guam airshows I attended in the 1970s. Truly
amazing aircraft!
After doing a stunning display of aerobatics (for a BIG airplane) one of the air crew
said, and I quote "Now try that in a B-52!" We had big belly B-52D models at AAFB.
Sad to see they are grounding it for lack of funds.
