Sat, 13 Aug 2011 11:42:24 -0700 Thunder City Aircraft For Sale... Lightnings, Hunters and Buccaneers http://scottbouch.posterous.com/thunder-city-aircraft-for-sale-lightnings-hun http://scottbouch.posterous.com/thunder-city-aircraft-for-sale-lightnings-hun
Event_05

Well it's been a sad last year or so for Capetown's Thunder City, and now the aircraft are up for sale.

Hopefully their next owners / owner will operate them with as much professionalism as Thunder City did.

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 07:09:00 -0700 Lightning XS458 High Speed Run Advert http://scottbouch.posterous.com/lightning-xs458-high-speed-run-advert http://scottbouch.posterous.com/lightning-xs458-high-speed-run-advert

Recently a professionally edited advert for our experience days has been published to YouTube. David Taylor has done a sterling job of putting together this immaculate short video which captures the excitement of a day at Cranfield!

The experiences can be bought as a High-Speed Runway Run in the right hand seat, or attendance as a Photographer. Photographers can be positinoed near to the runway for close-up high speed shots!

The days allow all guests to get up close and personal with the aircraft and crew, and usually feature 2x Runs, one either side of an included buffet lunch! So even if you've had your run in the morning, you get to witness the afternoon run as a bonus!

All bookings can be made via the website: www.LightningT5.com

Enjoy David's video:

I'm chuffed, as I'm in the video marshalling the aircraft!

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:53:00 -0700 Images from Cranfield, XS458 T5 Lightning http://scottbouch.posterous.com/images-from-cranfield-xs458-t5-lightning http://scottbouch.posterous.com/images-from-cranfield-xs458-t5-lightning

I've kindly been sent a couple of images of myself, from a high speed run day at Cranfield a couple of weeks ago.

The author conencting the Houchin ground generator, Closing / Opening the cockpit canopy, and standing with John in fornt of the aircraft for the photo!

It was a glorious day, we were very lucky with the weather - 2x high speed runs, faultless aircraft, and some static re-heat performances too!


Thanks to Henry. P for the images.

Wed, 01 Jun 2011 05:06:00 -0700 Lightning Reflection - XS458 @ Cranfield http://scottbouch.posterous.com/lightning-reflction-xs458-cranfield http://scottbouch.posterous.com/lightning-reflction-xs458-cranfield

108_1060

About 2 weeks ago, we were playing about with the camera and this Mk3C helmet down at Cranfield, got a nice reflection of T5 Lightning XS458 in the visor. Luckily some pro photographers were present, who came up with the idea! 

Nice image anyway..
