I was about to respond to your post 194, but Parabellum has already done so. He's right; I have nothing to add.
Re the VC10 flyby pic:
I didn't take it. Wish I had, or been standing next to the photographer.
Here's another favourite (again, not my picture), coincidentally flown by a pilot who went on to fly for Cathay after leaving the RAF.
Granted it's mil, and he was an exceptional pilot, trained and current in such flying, but there were still some 'experts' and prophets of doom who forecast he'd die one day.
He did eventually, of natural causes aged 77.

If there is a single (flying) person reading this who hasn't done it... ever
I suspect, from reading some posts, that there might be a few who never have and never even wanted to - in any aircraft.
