What i did today..

Post by **Buster** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 5:38 pm

Well s most people who read this forum know i`m in the RAF and today i finally got to see what it was like to fly in the back seat of a Tornado GR4A.

This was my 3rd attempt to get airborn, the first 2 being the previous 2 fridays but they were cancelled due to bad weather. Today the weather was good enough for my flight after the early morning fog had cleared.

I won`t drone on about it, instead i`ll post a few pics from the flight. If anyone wants to know anything feel free to ask.

^^ A view out the jet from about 2,000ft ^^

^^ Another generic view, this time from about 1,000ft

^^ Getting lower now, about 300ft ^^

^^ 300ft again, you can see how bad the weather was in this one ^^

^^ Some power station or other, 300ft again ^^

^^ This was pretty scary, a 450mph 3G turn at 200ft ^^

^^ A nice view of my house from about 2,000ft ^^

^^ Me ( Left ) and the guy who flew me after we got back ^^

@ Zim - Shit myself a little the first time we banked hard when i wasn`t expecting it, and coming out of a high G turn makes your stomache go a bit, but apart from taht was ace.

I should have a cockpit HUD video of the whole thing tomorrow as well, i`ll try and sample it.
