A RAF navigator gave plane-spotters a chuckle as he held up a sign reading 'I'm with stupid' with an arrow pointing to the pilot on June 24. The pair were on a training mission in a £13million Tornado GR4 aircraft, capable of reaching 1,400mph, when the navigator pulled the prank as they jetted through a valley in Wales. Based at RAF Lossiemouth in the Scottish Highlands, the men were flying through Snowdonia, in northern Wales, at the time of the stunt.

Top Gun moment

Maverick and Goose would be proud.

Yea, he had to ask for directions, AGAIN!

This pics puzzling. Was the photographer in another aircraft, or terra firma? I know the captions says "plane spotters", but this is quite a close shot, or maybe it's cropped, in any case it's fun and it reminds me of a time I "spotted" two B-52's flying really low in a canyon behind SB years ago, the guys in the cockpits waved at us.

Roger that GPers, turn left at Albuquerque.....

      This is why the rest of the world hates us.

            Jill, I'm pretty sure RAF stands for Royal Air Force, which means these blokes were Brits and not Americans.
