The return of Avro Vulcan XH558 to the air on the 18th october in a 34-minute test flight marks the spectacular end of a 10-year effort, and the start of a brand new phase in the life of this amazing aircraft.

The time I saw this vulcann was when I was still in my parm flying pasted with the bomb bay doors open with farewell writen in big letters and the last time I heared the blue note

The blue note is made when all 4 engine were on full power with the brakes been releashed. Made me think of Code lyoko .thinkning about it a door opening or scary xana lol


But it also make me feel that the aircraft was a little bit of hope for me .

What do you think think of this amazing aircraft

Thank you. If anyone is intrested, here's is a bit of history

She was the first and last detla winged bult aircraft .she it's able to take off almost vertaiily due to it's design. The vulcan was bulit during the cold war to keep the russians in line .but when she was about to retire the falkland wars started and that was her greatest moment . My dad was in the RAF at the time she reited from active service. He said it was a aircraft that could never been forgoten .

Awesomeness. All hail the RAF. Kicking but for king and country, helping to defend the world from terrorism and all that jazz. I have always fantasized about being an air force man myself. That is a cool plane.

This should be in General Discussion, as I see no problem here, unless you consider fighter planes to be a problem.
