Bandit Flight 2000 Pictures
(No, there isn't 2000 pictures)
These are all the pictures I have assemled from the cadets and staff of Bandit Flight, as well as other RGS (P) 2000 members. Any and all picture submissions are welcome, please follow the submission instructions. I hope everyone likes the green links better than the blue ones. People complained about the blue links being painful on the eyes.
All names listed left to right, then back to front (if necessary.)
