Low flying military aircraft

[welsh dragon]

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.

You lucky bugger. I am so jealous

Well I had worked on the bloody things for 7 years by then.
And I had serviced and refuelled the thing before I went up so it was only fair

 

[welsh dragon]

Yeah in that case you deserved a ride.

I had a ride in a Hunter once - but they didn't give me turning trousers. Sadly not a low level sortie, but after only having flown in light aircraft or airliners, even the Hunter's rate of climb was very impressive.

Also wangled a ride in an Andover - I can't remember exactly what we were doing - but we were flying a low level route through Wales. In between the pilots appearing to navigate via all the pubs they recognised from the air, there was the occasional discussion about whether the Andover's climb rate was enough to get them over the pass looming ahead, or if they should turn off...

And on the subject of vomit. Apparently BAe's dentist was given a ride once. He was very unwell, and in the absence of sick bags he returned with a glove-full...

You lucky devil. I'm green with envy. But to have a glove full of vomit eww. And they probably did navigate according to the pubs.

[QUOTE 3035788, member: 1314"]What are you scared off? Upsetting the men around you? Having to challenge your own preconceptions of who you are? Not wanting things to change?

This rocket-boy stuff is as stiffy as it gets sexually without real flesh involved - the mechanical throbbing of the visiciouness is overcumming.

It's pure 70s cock-rock stuff.[/QUOTE]
One would think your time has come ? Time to do the honourable thing ?

[QUOTE 3036203, member: 9609"]you should get yourself into the google earth flight simulator - takes a lot of practise to learn how to fly, and then many many hours learning to fly low level through the hills, but when mastered it is a real joy to use.[/QUOTE]

Have you done it?

I play dirty gentlemen

Is that like the "Blackjack* Challenge" Hover fly tells me they play in army officers' and sergeants messes? (Basically they stand in a circle and pass the sweet round, hands are not involved, any more information would be too much.)

Why have you brought skin colour into this thread?

That's the ruling classes for you, I blame boarding schools.

With a bit of luck yes

Did you go to boarding school or was it reform school

Although I told spinney I was jealous of her time in the plane, I have no doubt I would have lost my dinner and peed myself, but it would have been worth it.

 

[welsh dragon]

Here we go.

I would imagine because there is a bit of an under-representation of some ethnicities amongst our low flying military. Just a guess though.

So if that's true then anyone who like's to watch a low flying military jet must be an imperialistic Colonel Blimp
