First Gnat trip was pretty amazing after a few months off from the JP5. Did the sims, learned the checks, but the first trip in the Folland Pocket Rocket was unbelievable - charged around North Wales and bounced a 3-ship of orange coloured Meteors recovering to Llanbedr, then back via the A5 pass! On my second trip we had an AC/DC failure, so it was CUBSTUN for real and back to Valley! Guess that encouraged me to make bŁoody certain that my emergency drills were second nature!!
But for real adrenalin, the first trip in a 'GT6' Hunter was the ultimate rush!
