One of the coolest aircraft to come out of the post-war world had to be the U.K.'s Avro Vulcan, which flew a year before I was born in 1953! I'd love to hear the famous Rolls Royce howl someday.

Really a cool aircraft for its time.

We had a few at Offutt AFB in the early 80's . I think I have slides

This may have been posted before, but this is a great documentary on the attack on the Falklands using the Vulcan.

YES, these are pretty amazing beasts...like a flying Sting Ray. They used to static display ad fly them at the Abbotsford BC Airshows in the 70,80's....and I have crawled around in them while on display.
We had a few land at McChord in the 66-72 timeframe I was in the Airlift Command Post...
Cheers,

Offutt 1980's. bad slide conversion

Eddy, I lived in Tacoma as a kid from 1961 to 1968. Wish I had known of the Vulcan visits so I could have told Dad! We were all aircraft fanatics and I still am.

I have bad pictures of a Vulcan in flight over Offutt but no tail number is visible. It was 6/1982. The tail number of the one on the ground was scrapped at that time so maybe scrapped means "given to the USA"
