Sound of a FJ overhead? - Absolutely.
Thrill of seeing aircraft at airshows? - I will never forget the smell of fuel as the Phantom flew (very low) over Sunderland Airshow in 1981.
Excitement, sports etc? - Not a thought.
Family? - I think an Uncle did National Service in the RAF once, does that count?
Apathy? - No.
Recently 'retired' after 17 of the best years imaginable.
