Well done to Draken's team, it's fantastic to see these aircraft airborne again.

Yep, I'll go along with that Dave. Assembled with the help of some currently serving RNZAF members too, on contract to the new owner!

Great shot. Note the RAT out on the Skyhawk - all part of a post maintenance test flight.

Great shot. Note the RAT out on the Skyhawk - all part of a post maintenance test flight. I figured the CFG had failed  |

They look realy good in that scheme, or is it just that they're back in the air?

Great to see, but also a tad sad too.  Once the RAT is deployed, can it be retracted again - or is it out until you're back on the ground? |
