F4

Finally tempted to join PPrune after many years of anonymous surfing. Nice to recognise some familiar-sounding contributors. Credentials approx 2k F4 hours, plus some time in the spazjet. Interesting to see some dodgy pictures (250' MSD - not). If you're looking for photos there are plenty on the web, including brit stuff. If you want moving pictures you might try to track down (Bad) Manners - he produced some videos when 56 and 74 were at Wattisham.
Talking of altitude records (57k myself), laughed lots when I heard of an instructor calling VMC on top i.e. above 66k. ATC promptly replied: "Roger, radar control terminated, contact on ICF to re-enter controlled airspace". The next transmission was allegedly a pan due to double engine flame-out.
