Interesting. So, my son and his mates @ a UAS - devoting a lot of time and commitment outwith their university studies have about much chance of a typhoon ride as a trip to the ISS....coupled with grob tutors continually u/s. His summer camp eventually got him a ride in the back of a helicopter. However, a bloody tv 'celebrity' gets launched in a eurofighter. Yes I know she heads up the air cadets. Here's a plan: how about giving the ride to one of the cadets if you really want to encourage young people into military aviation? Btw this is me complaining on my son's behalf, not him. Rant over.
