Customer Reviews
The best fighter ever
Many fighters claim to be the best but none are as cool, formidable and impressive as the Big Cat.
I look forward to the release of every episode to hear from the people who flew and maintained this aircraft - the best fighter ever.
To have two experts bring the stories to the fore using their insights and relaxed story telling is a great format, it’s like we are getting an exclusive opportunity to sit in on the guys catching up and telling us about he history and the inside stories behind the Tomcat and it’s employment.
I look forward to hearing more of the stories about how the aircraft was employed from the crews who were there.
ODI show just such a delight..
