Civvie Pax Trips

Watching a recording of British Superbikes recently, between the races it showed Leon Haslam having a flight in a Tornado, and did he enjoy it! Great PR despite all what else is going on. Any civvie getting a pax trip is just so lucky, and I should know, with 5 FJs, and 2 trainers which I logged as a PPL. In chronological order- Buccaneer, Hunter, Strikemaster, ADV, PC9, Hawk and Harrier, and the bag stayed in my pocket, though it was close in the Hawk when we were lead in a tailchase with another. Greyed out in the PC9 aswell during aeros, but it was still fantastic! They all were. I flew in the ADV with the RAF after many begging letters, and my one regret is after earlier begging letters to Binbrook, I was told no chance of a Lightning flight, but I was invited to the station for a day. I didn’t go, but now think maybe if I had they might have surprised me with a trip. Ah well, I can’t complain.
