Only if I can have a cassette player strapped to my leg with the Iron Eagle soundtrack in it..

[bobinho]

Yes. No question.

[Vegas Claret]

he's done some cool videos

[Bosscat]

I feel the need. The need for speed.

[Murger]

Absolutely not.

[Tribesmen]

Goodness Yes , can i have a go at blasting something also ?

[karatekid]

Minute 4 to minute 8 is just wild if you just want a taster of the whole ride.

I'd love a go in an Apache. Hover above the car park at Ewood and strafe it with the 30mm guns

If anyone is interested, loads of videos on YouTube from tha mach loop in mid Wales. Great to watch live

Napalm, more like.

I always preferred a K1A followed by some 30mm. 70mm was pump unless you had flechette.

Americans and their nonsense everywhere.

On reflection and thinking about the OP ...

I would rather be sat in the seat Alex Jones had on Fridays "One Show" and sit in the 1940's Hurricane (converted to a 2 seater) and have a 20 minute flight over Duxford and have the chance of taking the controls for a few minutes ... now thats flying in a plane thats got history

It's certainly in there along with the Spitfire Mk1, Sunderland Flying Boat, Mosquito, Hawker Typhoon and Vulcan for me.

Proper sexy aircraft.

The one I'd have loved 'a do in' is the English Electric Lightning.
It had the spectacular initial climb rate of 50,000ft/ min with afterburners on and could reach 36,000ft in 2.5 minutes!
Used to send shivers down my back every time I saw one take off, especially at air shows where the pilot always gave it 'full welly'.

[Vegas Claret]

shows how incredibly fit these pilots are, the folks in the back always trying hard to stay awake and those up front on the radio like they are sitting next to their mate in a cafe.

I was the first ever paying passenger in the Hurricane when it was based at Biggin Hill.

A professional aviation photographer flew alongside for a while in order to take these promotional pictures
