Thumbs up

Well,I went up to FL240 today, yes looking for Tornados/Typhoons/Harriers, but didn`t see any. It took a while to get there(JP3) , but the radar controller was nice as he asked me if I was a helicopter....It was nice up there, but everyone must have been over the F of F,which is why I couldn`t see them,so Ithought I`d drop a boom on Spalding, and knock all those windmills over. So, taking a deep breath, over we went,60deg down, the noise was tremendous and the Machmeter went wizzing around, until some bits were sssuupper sssonic , the other bits were a bit behind, but nevertheless all together,still,and then we pulled up,two-hands, and went up again.I was dizzy with excitement, or lack of oxygen, so we did a few `spinny things`, to get down, didn`t declare a `Mayday` and then flew back home; I did wave to a lot of people on the ground(the people) to indicate which way I should go; however, we got home, still with plenty of fuel. Didn`t anybody see me ,or wave?
