Despite my paucity of Military Flying I do consider I have had a bit of a moment...

I was awarded a 'good boy' AEF flight in a Sea King at RAF Boulmer as an ATC cadet.

The pilots were practicing instrument flying and all was going smoothly-towards the end of my flight I was invited up front by the pilot as we were doing a 'fly by' down the runway at a well known civil airport.

I was 'plugged in' and merrily chatting away to said pilot, when an urgent call came for us to 'vacate the runway as we've got something coming in on finals' (or similar).

This resulted in a 'hang on' and a left wing over with yours truly hanging onto both poles either side of said pilots.

I'm sure not especially dangerous or exciting in the grand scheme of thing already told on here, but pretty exciting to a 14 yo Air cadet who wanted to be a Fighter Pilot at the time....
