Got to finally have a go in the back as a passenger of the things i've fixed for the last 4 years!
Was awesome, got to go supersonic plus more(800+mph), do some aero display stuff and formation flying, enjoy

[Guinness]

wow, got 2 get me a go in 1 of those. How did u manage that then? guess u r in the RAF or something

 

[ian_cupra]

the the single most amazing experiences of my life!!

absolutely amazing!! pulling 5.5g going vertical doing more than the speed of sound was awesome!! then into a loop and and barrel roll!
just cant explain how good it was!
from 400mph to 800mph its a CONSTANT 2g kick! now thats acceleration!!

yeah in the RAF, and fixed these things for just over 4 years now, really makes you feel good about your job when they do something like this for you

[stuart86]

[RikH]

brilliant ian
nice that they do that after the hard work you've put in

pics are great!

just makes you think as well of the US blackbird things they had in the 70s/80s that flew at 80k feet and could fly at horrendous speeds

 

[googies]

The blackbird flew in excess of mach 3, that was crazy speed!

 

[Big_Lad]

Very impressive. there aren't many things that you can blag a ride in that'll go much faster.

 

[ian_cupra]

i'm based up at Leeming still, near northallerton.

still buzzing from it!!

 

[AndyHazza]

still buzzing from it!!

I dont blame you!!

 

[si-mate]

Experience of a lifetime. There can't be that many people who have had a ride in one of them.

I'm not jealous. Really. Not one bit.

 

[AndyHazza]

How long were you up in the air for?

 

[ian_cupra]

was up for an hour, was a hard workout, all that G being pulled wears you out quickly. when we was messing about looping and rolling and pulling alot of tight turns sweat was dripping off me! body gets really hot fighting against the G.

 

[andycupra]

were you sick?
