Someone is going to have to fly the B52s.

I'm still waiting for the Brits to recycle the Hurricane name.

As far as the Tempest goes, though, the pilots say it will handle like a midsummer night's dream, and any potential cost overruns are much ado about nothing.

Speaking of UK fighter planes, 2018 is the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force.

The RAF did a fly over of London last week to mark the centenary.

Thousands of people have gathered outside Buckingham Palace to watch a flypast of aircraft to mark the centenary of the Royal Air Force. Almost 100 planes representing the RAF over the years flew over The Mall following a parade by personnel.

But they still have to think in Russian.

You can't truly appreciate the works of William Shakespeare until you've read them in the original Russian.
