Avi8tor,

I know where you are coming from, however they seem to have had a good record operating the beasts prior to this, and accidents were not unheard of in the heyday of the type's RAF service.
I wanted to have a jolly there for my 50th Birthday but my finances took a downward turn.
Hope they (and I ) are maybe able for 60th in 2018 (if there is any oil left/affordable by then)
Bit of a bugger if the guy really tried to eject, BTW where did the info come that he tried to eject 3 times, doubt he was having detailed discussions on the R/T.
