 One of my favourite memories from working in Defence was when some Skyhawks from the RNZAF visited our base. I was fortunate enough to be able to witness them dropping bombs out at the bombing range at Dutson, and then standing on the control tower a mere couple of hundred meters away from the firing line as they came in and did strafing runs. Whilst the Skyhawk is not exactly a massive weapon, it was still an experience that I won't ever forget. It was not long after that they retired the Skyhawks from service.
Anyway, back on topic; still continuing to work my way through the VH discography: starting with 1984 this morning. Damn meetings are getting in the way tho  |
For me, this clip reminds me of riding in the Hunter Water catchment watching the FA18's lazer bombing at Salt Ash.
Great band Van Halen.
