Biggin Hill Airshow 2008

Blue skies with cottony clouds scudding across the sky, a gentle breeze and warm sunshine on the back of my head slowly toasting me to a shade between berry and coffee...and screaming jets performing gravity defying maneauvres, outrageous acrobatics, the Indian Air Force team Sarang performing awesome routines and acrobatics in the HAL Dhruv helicopters, airmen in Aviator sunglasses but most importantly...the Battle of Britain memorial flypast with the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber...superb design, awe inspiring feats, a deep respect for their service during the World War and a legacy that will never be forgotten. The Breitling jet team were a cut above the rest. I will have to post some videos soon. Also, I raise a toast to the Wing Walkers who performed heartstopping acrobatics on top of the Guinot airplanes while the planes screeched through the air in somersaults, steep ascents and glides. The Biggin Hill Airshow 2008 is a tribute to the human desire for wings and spirit of adventure.

Confession alert: I am fascinated by network statistics on the professional networking website, Linked In. According to my network, LI tells me that I have connections in 51 industries which gives me access o 147 additional industries that include dairy and railroad manufacture!

Erm, all right! Bizarre but all right by me! I have interesting friends!
