Luckily I got a trip in a Tornado in 1997 out of TTTE Cottesmore, what an experience!!
Having raised the RHAG cable so many times and watched them take off whilst sat on the rotary drum units the noise was brilliant. But to suddenly be in the back seat doing the V's to my mates in the arrestor wagon as we roared down the runway was mindblowing, the acceleration (bearing in mind these Tonkas were pylon free) was incredible it felt like the jet was squirming at the back as we accelerated but what struck me was how quiet it was (I suppose all the noise is behind you).
So off we shot up to Berwick and then low level west, luckily for me the jet was a two stick version so once we were through the very hilly bits i was allowed to fly the thing, Now I never thought in my life I would be sweeping the wings back to 45 degrees whilst sat at 500 ft doing 500Kts (I think!) flying a £21M jet!!
An Hour and a half later we broke back into the circuit over Cottesmore and by that time i had turned the air supply to my G-suit off ( found it really uncomfortable whilst we were pulling G-how strange!) but as we touched down and did the reverse thrust thing that's the point I heaved (I think it was all the sensations coming together at once!) I don't know who was greener me or my mate who watched me taxi back in.
I have to say the pilot was an absolute star, made me feel comfortable by telling me how he had banged out of a Phantom
!! and then turning the jet upside down to point out a pig farm but never once did i feel scared or not aware of what was going on around us.
If you get the chance do it, I'm still get asked about it Ten years later and I've been out the RAF for four!
