Exhilarating isn't it. I am not an aircraft tragic, they are Jafa's to me. However I am lucky enough to have flown in a Canberra Bomber, A Mirage, and the most thrilling was a Winjeel when the pilot demonstrated what they do in fighters. When he said he was going to show me some stuff I thought he meant the nudie beaches around Port Stephens. Very wrong

Only Cessna 150 Aerobat for me, as a pilot.

Who would I kill to go for a ride in one of these?  Anyone!

I was watching that movie Milo about Space Cowboys (good movie they were all retired aircrew blokes and one was doing acrobatic joy rides in an old plane, one of his customers vomited all over his plane, the pilot (Tommy Lee Jones) was in the rear seat.

Worth seeing if you haven't seen the movie, Clint Eastwood, James Garner, TLJ and Donald Sutherland among others....
