On a lighter note

Reminds me of the time (a long time ago) when I was lucky enough to be given a ride in a Mirage Jet Fighter simulator.

Two things stick in my mind, the rate 1, 3degree a second rule, I was asked to make a turn so I thought I would use 45 degrees of bank but it still went straight ahead ( our speed was high) and the second thing was the low fuel "clanger" every few seconds. It got your attention.

Enjoyed it immensely, even the whiff of smoke as you touch down.
