Fast Jet Trips for Civvies?

[Dogstar]

I have a civilian friend who is desperate to get a trip in a Fast Jet. In the back of my mind I remember that there is a company in the UK somewhere offering trips in Hunters. Does anyone have any contact details for this or any other companies offering similar services?

Eddie Todd @ Sandtoft airfield gives rides in a JP slowjet, and the hunters are from Kemble and I believe have a website: Hunter / aircraft / kemble will probably get you what you want. Itll cost a bit more than 10bob though!!. .. .T_M. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Try Delta Jets at Kemble. I think its around £1500 for 30 minutes in a Hunter.

Go fly a Lightning or a Buccaneer instead!! Prices start at $3500:. .. . <a href="http://www.incredible-adventures.com/capetown.html" target="_blank">Incredible Adventures</a>

There is a company in Utah that will give rides in a T-33 for around 500 Dollars. e-mail me if you want more details.

tell your freind to go to the back of "Pilot", "Today's Pilot" or "Flyer" magazines. There's a few ads for fast jet flying schools. .. .oh, and tell 'im "you jammy, lucky bastard!" form me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Here you go:. .. .<a href="http://www.theinternetkit.ik.com/pub/customersites/interkit/ets-011109113209.nsf/pa_fixed?OpenPage" target="_blank">http://www.theinternetkit.ik.com/pub/customersites/interkit/ets-011109113209.nsf/pa_fixed?OpenPage</a>. .. .and remind your mate to take at least two sick bags: it's a strange environment for the uninitiated. And don't let him fly on an empty stomach: did that once........

Well if youv'e got the dosh you can get some pretty rad flights with <a href="http://www.motivark.com" target="_blank">www.motivark.com</a>. .My personal favourite would be the trip in the 'vomit comet' but gotto be seriously rich for that one!Alternatively, MiG-25 or MiG-29 available...check their website out though! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Shame I won't be getting a FRI - I could have blown £11K+ on a go in a MiG-25....... .. .Well, perhaps not.. .. .But there again...

I got a MACH 1 rode in an F100F Super Sabre. .over Chihuahua mexico about 2 years back - the best thing about it was that the ride was "FREE". .. .<a href="http://www1.airpics.com/showimg.php?imgid=10799" target="_blank">http://www1.airpics.com/showimg.php?imgid=10799</a>. .. .LG2728

by far the most effective way of getting a fre FJ trip is to join Blue Peter, who seem to get every presenter up with the Reds.. .. .- just an observation.

[uncle peter]

or should that be the reds take every opportunity to get up the presenters......er......allegedly

One way to get a ride here in Sweden is to work in ATC.
Have been up with a Sk-60 of the F10 wing of the SAF twice this month! ;)

Become a journalist and find an RAF squadron that will benefit from the publicity - I got a ride in a Tornado F3 a few months ago for an article that I was writing. Bloody awesome - pulled 6gs in the turn, went supersonic at 200ft asl and I got to fly a loop (F3 was dual control). And I kept my breakfast down - but only just. :cool:

Only downside is when youcome back and realise that you face a lifetime of commercial flights - fast jets open a door in your mind that you can never close
