Dbw1shrops Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Amazing you could see the curvature of the earth at 40,000 ft what an experience that must be ! We always go and watch the cosford air show as it's not to far from us mainly to see the red arrows but enjoy seeing the rest of the displays too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoot and be safe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Have done that.......in a Chipmunk along Hadrians Wall from RAF Ouston. Ahhh them were the days, walking out in a most peculiar fashion with the parachute strapped to your back happy memories of waiting in the flight cabin for the cloud base to increase Ha ha, do you remember the preflght training film?

Grandalf Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I used to do that... At 85 knots - flat out - in an Auster Mk IX with the Army Air Corps. Not quite the same set of problems though. We had, relatively, lots of time to think about the problems but none of the power to get out of them. We would always fly hard up against one side of the valley - so we had room to do a 180 degree turn in case of trouble, bad weather or a dead end due bad map reading, around the next bend. No Satnav in those far off days. Didn't have the performance to outfly the rising ground. Would love a trip in one of these new machines though. Pity it is never going to happen.

Scully Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ha ha, do you remember the preflght training film? 'Jump jump john' Remember waddling out to the plane with the chute strapped to my ****; straps pulled so tight I couldn't get my leg up onto the wing. Blokes in stores always had our best interests at heart, 'if it don't work bring it back and we'll give you another one', bless 'em. 'You have control' ....'pardon'.

I read in GQ magazine what u could do if u one 100 million on the lottery, it was basically saying normal people buy these driving days, rally days, BASE jumping etc and there a fighter jet flight training (somthing along them lines) and was about 14,000 can't remember if it was dollars or pounds and was an actually training combat flight.
