Here it is again... of course this was taken at FAIRFORD when they were on Excercises.. Another video if same Aircraft ... Published on Jun 19, 2018 U.S. Air Force B-1B bomber aircraft takeoff at RAF Fairford, Great Britain on June 2, 2018 as part of exercise Trojan Footprint 18. Now a bit Of HISTORY! Royal Air Force Fairford or more simply RAF Fairford (IATA: FFD, ICAO: EGVA) is a Royal Air Force (RAF) station in Gloucestershire, England which is currently a standby airfield and therefore not in everyday use. Its most prominent use in recent years has been as an airfield for United States Air Force B-52s during the 2003 Iraq War, Operation Allied Force in 1999, and the first Gulf War in 1991. It is the US Air Force's only European airfield for heavy bombers.[1] RAF Fairford.Near Fairford, Gloucestershire .

RAF Fairford was the only TransOceanic Abort Landing site for NASA's Space Shuttle in the UK. As well as having a sufficiently long runway for a shuttle landing (the runway is 3,046 m (9,993 ft) long), it also had NASA-trained fire and medical crews stationed on the airfield.[2] The runway is rated with an unrestricted load-bearing capacity, meaning that it can support any aircraft with any type of load. RAF Fairford is also the home of the Royal International Air Tattoo(RIAT), an annual air display. RIAT is one of the largest airshows in the world, with the 2003 show recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest military airshow ever, with an attendance of 535 aircraft.

Ah Goodness ME.... please no more inter squabbles or who started the fund etc. Whatever happened in the past is gone and donate if you want or need to but personal feelings needs to be out way to one side.. this is about helping people in need .. so what LSP member started the GoFund ..I am sure Mr Paul Fisher and his wife Susy will be happy to know that WE ALL care despite our modeling differences... let go of your Egos and donate. If you want to donate to an Official Fund for ALL CALIFORNIANS then do THAT... THERE are too many things going in the World that are sad, bad and plain evil but WE ARE HELPFUL HAPPY GOOD PEOPLE and SO that's why WE need to just let things be and Donate. PEACE MY LOVELY FRIENDS. So: Already over $20,000 has been raised and Paul sends this message (shucks I am NOT ON Facebook but this is reproduced from the thread). , we've managed to reach $15,000 in donations in around 2 days of fundraising! The level of generosity shown by Paul's fans, friends, followers, and the general scale modelling community has been absolutely astounding, and Paul is incredibly grateful. For those who don't follow Paul on Facebook, here is his message: "Hello to all our friends and family around the world, Susy and I cannot thank you enough for the incredible generosity you have shown us in out time of need, we are humbled and elevated all at the same time....Can't say yet what comes next, but now that we are safe in Colorado and online again I will try to post regularly.As far as we can tell at this point both our home and the workshop were destroyed by the fire, more info as I get it, but it will be awhile before that Firefly comes out!We love you all, and again, thank you with every wag of our collective tails for all you have done to help!!!!" Please continue to share the campaign link to anyone you think might be able to help. And a sincere thanks to everyone who has been able to donate so far. You guys rock!
