Anyone into Aircraft on here?
My wife took these in 2005 whilst on detachment to the Falklands, she was on 1435 Flight which is the resident Tornado F3 flight.
Her boss as a thank you for all her hard work arranged a backseater in an F3 and these are just a few of the pics she took.

Me too...Sonia did arrange for me to fly with 1312 Flight in a VC10 Tanker to support the F3's on a mission, the day was nice and bright, so we walked off across the apron, the wind was quite gusty, strapped in, chocks removed and the jet spooled up, but a message from Air Traffic reported that the winds were now gusting outside the safe operating zone for the VC10, so the trip was cancelled, was gutted as I was flying home the next day... :sad:
Here she is.

:signLOL: Without being picky it's a T10...lol... :innocent: But hey yeah, I was green when Sonia told me, she said the boss took the jet out to sea and opened it up to over Mach 1..... :smiley:
Shame the RAF is withdrawing them later this year and early next, only 12 Tornado's will remain in service until the Typhoon's are handed over.

i wasn't referring to the tornado when i said GR9, shame they're being phased out as they're the stuff of legends
THIS is the GR9:

i stand corrected :grin:
now organise me a flight in one choppers :jumpmove: :party:
-
i stand corrected :grin: :smiley:
now organise me a flight in one choppers :jumpmove: :party: Hmmm could be a long wait... :sad:
Now if the good lady was still at Lyneham could have got you a ride in a Hercules... :smiley:
-
theres a company in devon with apparently the uk's only civilian military fast jet in service, costs something like £3000 for a 20 minute flight or something :scared:
-
I know Thunder City in South Africa do back seaters in Lighting T5, Buccaneer and Hunters...cost is mega though.
If only me numbers came up... :signLOL:
-
if my numbers come up i'm off to russia. £80,000.00 gets you a 3 month training course for back seating migs :drool:
clarkeson's done it, he threw up....lots :grin:
they take you to the edge of space..how amazing would that be, then back down to earth at stupid mental balls on fire speed :party:
maybe we should start a lottery syndicate :grin:
-
That reminds me of the episode of American Chopper when Vinnie and Rick go up in MIGs and Rick is sick as a parrot!!! Vinnie's pilot is pulling over 6 G's and he is lovin it!! 8)
-
Nice pics. :happy2:
Now get it slammed and re-mapped, some BBS wouldn't go a miss either. :signIWS:
-
Fantastic photo's they are!
I have been begging my cousin to get me a back seat ride in a in a Typhoon when he qualifies. But he said they don't let anybody none RAF go in them. :sad: And then told me all about the trip he got in one. :smiley: Might just have to pay the Russians for a trip in a Mig-29 or a trip to the out reaches of the atmosphere in a Mig-21.
-
I like planes as well. :smiley:
