--A couple of years ago I had the goddamn cheek to politely write to the Participation Committee at STC if the Reds were routing anywhere near my wedding reception, could they just steer slightly left or right of the black line and give an impromptu flypast? At any altitude or time of day? I'd have been more successful asking Giselle Bundchen for a handjob.-----

It's well known that it is RAFAT policy not to do flypasts for Personal occasions such as Weddings, Funerals and Birthdays. Otherwise can you imagine the floodgates you'd open!

I thought she may have been a famous bird with no arms, which would have made the handjob comment funny....

Anyone hear about the start of the Reds tour to Russia when canopies were lowered and an MDC was fired by the golf clubs in the back seat?

I've heard, on fairly good authority, that PAX in the reds aren't allowed to wear anti-g pants in case they snag on the control column, yet the bishop is proudly sporting his speed jeans

Speed jeans not allowed in displays or practices. For joy-rides they are not a problem.

The RAFAT exists to provide positive PR and publicity for the RAF, so trips of this sort (the Flying Bishop) are permitted and welcomed.

I also heard on reasonable authority that said Bishop was slightly ill on his trip......

Speed Jeans

I have flown in the back a couple of times and I can confirm the wearing of G pants on display practices is not permitted. +7 and -3g in the same trip is quite painful.
Bloody good fun though!
