Hi Mirv. Is it true that you only wear brown underwear in formation now?

Here are some suggested activities for your party:

Hanging around in a blue flying suit.

Deploying to Squadrons to tell their QFI's that they don't do enough Demo - Direct - Monitor.

Rejoins into formation: Height - line - speed - bloom - crunch - spin - BANG.

And then maybe a showing of what really happened to the chicken after mirv's wedding!
Ruprecht,
I think a baby blue safari suit would be more suited to the occasion. The flying suit is sooo yesterday.

Of course, for the Walter Mitty's amongst us, the internet has brought us the Roulette experience without the associated risk of a Martin Baker letdown!

Check out these guys, their video is awesome..

Or these guys,

who fly on a LAN and have actually performed at airshows..


They program they use is Lock-on. Where this sort of thing will end up is anyone's guess.

Wow, recognised the name of one of our guys on there. I think he's been known to read PPRUNE from time to time as well!

No, most definately not. Not even an ex-RAAFie! I did get a ride in a PC9 once which is about the closest I've ever been!

Mirv

From one who has enjoyed the Roulettes over the years I have copied this to the Military Forum and will sticky it for a while.

I'll let you guys deal with ruprecht.
