Fly Stimulator - excellent site and great diary! I was asking the other week about sitting in on a ferry flight for the experience (after one of the guys there had a second hand 'Arrer ferried across a few weeks ago). Someone who'd actually done it was fairly blunt about the discomfort / boredom and physical 'waste disposal' aspects of the flight - some great moments interspersed by incredible acres of 'nothing happening'!
Plus, with all the survival suits and life rafts in the world - it anything breaks, you're dead for 99% of the journey!
