Known as "The Mighty Hunter", this is the aircraft whose software I work on.The team has been in existance for 20+ years now and obviously people have moved on and new people have joined. I've been on the project for about 15 years which is the longest I've worked on any project before.
It's a magnificent aircraft and I get a thrill every time I see it fly, which sadly isn't too often as it doesn't often give performances at airshows. I have been lucky enough to have been on board it a couple of times whilst it has been in the hangers, I am not comfortable enough about flying to go up in her unfortunately.
The other aircraft I love to see fly is the Harrier, I'm not really into airplanes but that is such a different sort of aircraft that I enjoy watching it. The last time I saw one was at last years Farnborough Airshow, it was the first time I had been and it was a pretty good day out despite the changeable weather.
