Damien..
Yes I know about the SA bucc fligfhts.
These days if you are the right person in the right place at the right time it is possible to fly in operational military a/c without dual control ie Tornado etc as "talking ballast"as my mate called it.
You basically take the nav's seat.
Civs can and have also flown in Hawks, Jags, tucs,harriers, canberra,etc
What I wanted to know was , in the "good ol' days" did jollies take place in Buccs?
I'm sure the Admiral of the fleet or even some hack from fleet street must have had the priviledge at some time.
