Maybe as with Carol, we should make him an Honorary member of the RAF? SO far he's flown in 230's mount into Whitehall, and been up down road in borough with the Atlas....

Cheers

Part of his plan to have a Scientology Air Force perhaps?

Wasn't there a case where some civilians flew with the Reds 2/3 years ago in a private arrangement connected to a financial donation which wasn't really talked about and went away quietly, or did I get the wrong end of the stick and have a false memory of it?

If true, perhaps money talks and I expect to see a short passenger writing off two flying helmets by banging Red 1's with his on the way out to the flightline soon.

According to a reliable source of mine who was there at the time ..Oh Yes He Did - upchucking everywhere - though I am told 'Goose' (Anthony Edwards) did quite well.



oh, and it was an orange crate, not an apple crate

Well at least he is a pilot, unlike most of the other celebrities that seem to get flights.
