Thinking just how close I was to booking a flight with them, this leaves me chilled to the bone.......
Me too. I've just spent an hour reading the report. It also makes me wonder how much my friends and family like me, or much they think my life insurance is worth, as one of the ideas touted for my 50th. was ..... a flight in the Lightning, which if I remember correctly cost about USD 900 at the time.

These amazing jets are meticulously maintained by former air force engineers and always flown well within their performance limitations. Even so we do not take safety for granted. Therefore you will be trained to safely use the aircraft’s emergency systems such as the ejection seat, emergency oxygen etc.
Ya well ...no - fine!
