Damn it, they were awesome planes, they could have at least taken the "important military bits" out and offered them up to museums or something, like the Concordes. At least then they would have something to show rather than just spending money breaking them up.

I know the Eurofighter is pretty awesome but it cant do/replace everything especially at the cost of the things.
Having said that i guess things have to move on sometime or another otherwise we would still be building and flying spitfires and hurricanes, if only....

And Harriers are something that i have missed from airshows, they always did a great show, i wonder if anyone will try and get one privately just for shows... i mean the Vulcan is privately owned and flying for shows, damned expensive but damned awesome.
And the Lancaster (1 of 2 still flying in the world) has limited hours left in its airframe/engines.

So i guess we will have to get used to saying goodbye to certain things like this...
