Finnish Defence Forces don’t have any so I assume it belonged to the Royal Air Force. First one I’ve ever seen in person. Neat!

    It’s pretty crazy that they fly all that distance to drop a couple bombs and then fly all the way back.

      I knew some guys in the air national guard; for their drill weekends they would have the planes prepped Friday, fly all day Saturday, refilling in the air, drop bombs, turn around, and fly back Sunday, in time to go to their normal jobs on Monday. That was their drill weekend. In the air for almost the entire time.

      Meanwhile I’m in the army national guard and we are just looking over some humvees and sitting in some shitty admin briefings all day.
