Cool mate. How did you get a ride in that? My little bro managed to get a ride in somethin altought noy sure what, cos he forgot to refil the planes water tank(apparantly really dangerous) and relised when it was on the runway. He got a bollockin off his boss and then the pilot asked him if he wanted a ride for bein so up front.

I didnt bondy.

I was working at RAF Leuchars on Tuesday on a new site we have there and was chatting to the cleaner in between bouts of coffee drinking and she let on that her husband was one of the ground crew. Was pretty cool sitting at the window watching tornados taking off every 3 or 4 mins on full afterburners. The cabins actually shook with the noise.

Anyway, got a guided tour of the hanger off the cleaners hubby and a sit in a Tornado but never got near the really good stuff. out front there was about 12 tornados doing constant take off's and landings along with 6 typhoon class fighters (thats the eurofighter if you dont already know) doing the same. But we wernt allowed out onto the tarmac to see them up close

Maybe next time.
