this is one of my favorite planes they are still one of the fastest in the world i heard that they can't maintan top speed to long or the glass conopy will start to melt from air friction (that would suck)

Really good video, personally I think they are one of the most underrated airplanes in fighter history.

The Aussie air-force are the only ones still using them. They have developed patches to go over any cracks on the outer skin, making them look a bit worse for wear, but will keep them in service till 2020. One hit a pelican after takeoff about 2 days ago, bending the nose downward 90deg. Still landed it though, there tough as nails! An all time classic!

I spent my entire childhood watching these every day. I was underneath their route between Upper Heyford and Lakenheath and they passed over at about 2000 feet. Nice memories.
