Lovely shot Tim !!
Whilst at a TWU in Wales I got thrown in the back of a Hawk to recover a jet with only one ignitor working from Kliene Brogel the day after the Ramstein disaster. In the faff of strapping in (we were up against it time wise) the G suit wasn't switched on.. high level transit, cleared for a rapid descent, got clearance for a run'n'break on the piano keys. ATC didn't actually state which set so we did the length of the runway at not many feet
and pulled sharpish into the circuit... my gibberish chatter faded away as I passed out for a few seconds..... very strange experience if you'tre not used to it !! Ignitor change didn't work, jumped back in and went low level over Dunkirk, the Channel (how low, ex-bucc driver!!), Kent, Isle of Wight, Devon and back to Wales and the valleys without feeling sick once !! Now, my trip in a Lightning.... different story... sick as a parrot
Get a chance...... just do it (or regret not doing it for the rest of your life)
