Oi! That's sexist. Why can't the guys have a go?? :blush:
Ladies was just a turn of phrase and not gender specific. :biggrin:

Okay. Cow pie. Have you ever flown the Mach loop?

Flown it... yes but I was merely a passenger and it was the dog danglies.
When I left one of my old squadrons as a thank you and a handshake we sometimes get back seaters as a perk.
Jockey takes us up, puts on some speed, throws the jet around and we get to watch some scenery flash by.
Followed by some vomit on occasion :wacko:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

That doesn't surprise me at all. The vomit bit. They come through here looking like they are going to hit the tops of the hills, then suddenly bank and away they go

We took off from Norfolk as a two ship. Went vertically straight up to pull some G and made the G pants inflate making me immediately wanna pee myself.
Did some dog fighting, follow me aerobatics then both crossed the UK over to south/mid Wales and travelled North through the valleys from Machynlleth up to Dolgellau.
We were close to sucking fumes by then and climbed to height and gave the engines some blat and landed back in Norfolk about 10 minutes later.
Never once felt sick while we were flying but as soon as I put my feet on the ground after climbing down the ladders, huge smile on my face, all the blood left my brain and I went very pale and light headed for about an hour afterwards.
That was my first trip up but was amazed how fast they accelerated and stopped. Biggest surprise was just how smooth the whole flight was. Like laying on a bed of feathers.
