You lucky, lucky b*st*rd ! im soooo jealous ! but having fixed them for 4 years I suppose you deserved a treat
Flying in one of those come a close second to flying in a Spitfire as my ultimate must do's before I pop me clogs

 

[ian_cupra]

no wasnt sick, i could feel why some people are sick though

 

[googies]

Does anyone remember Clarkson of topgear where he went up in an F15 i think, sick during and after and couldnt stand up when landed!!

Couldn't get it to work, so if find the link again and working will post it.

 

[ian_cupra]

Goodone, couldnt find it again. Would love to get a go in something like that, even flying an ordinary plane would be an experience for a newbie.

your eyes look WIIIIIIIIDE in the pic ian mate

 

[ian_cupra]

here's a few more with a video to follow shortly

boats blurred due the shear speed be flew past it!! at 250ft
2nd picture is the supersonic run, can just see the other jet with afterburners on and after that we went vertical

 

[googies]

Was it shakey or just smooth with a LOT of speed?

smooth as you like, even at silly speeds

 

[googies]

Mad, i definatly want a go! You only ever see planes like that at the couple of airshows during the year here, been lucky to see a few flyby's over my area.

Did you get the controls at any point?

 

[ian_cupra]

no we only had 1 jet with twin sticks, and that was the one in most the pics, the one i was in was normal one with single stick

the other guy got to do a loop and a roll though
