Plane / Planes / Aircraft / Aeroplane / Airplane appreciation

Oh dear God..I'm really done for now aren't I? Not just on this thread but on the forum.. I'll get me coat.

Aerospace is just the toughest course. Much respect for anyone who finishes - some people say it's like doing five degrees simultaneously. I'm ashamed to say I hadn't heard of the Kremer marathon challenge.. I will follow this with interest. May I ask whether you went to Southampton? For anyone considering Aerospace this is the absolute gold standard course from what I have observed.

I wasn't meaning to be so flippant. It's just that I have known graduates who needed a year off afterwards to recover. I would just love to see them have some fun after years of hard slog.

Best of luck if you enter. 'Luck will not be a factor' said NurseHolliday.

LOL, I only just finished...!

I went to Liverpool, at the time it was considered top 5 in the country for Aerospace but I have heard in the last few years it has slipped a bit.

My girlfriend got a 1st in Aerospace at Southampton though. Now I would call her a genius.

Turn the volume down for this video cos the music is abysmal. Looks fantastic tho'.

2012 Raytheon Award Video on Vimeo

Sweet video, if anyone didn't make it to the end, the planes and pilots in the video are from the squadron voted best air-to-air at the Raytheon awards 2011. There is some sweet flying in that video, some of those manouevres are impressive.
