Damn, I wish I'd been more interested in what the teacher was saying than the girl with nice legs beside me at school.
Is it true that if Americans decend that low its officially classed as a crash?

Well, I for one am shocked and dismayed at the unprofessional attitude shown by the SOAF pilots.
To condone such spectacular, wonderful, fun, amazing flying is totally out of order and might encourage our British RAF boys to try to pull similar incredible, adrenalin punching, whoopee flying indulged in by those irresponsible Omanis .....

LOW LEVEL OMANI JAGS
In the bar at Colt on Friday I met the pilot who flew the waist-high Jaguar featured on the front cover of Flight magazine. He says there are more and better photos around somewhere. Why not here?
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
USAF LTC was saying that there are some good Strikemaster pics too. One is of a line of Strikemasters on the flight line, only one has his wheels up
Yes, Him

Mike,
That was the latter of the two posted above by SPHLC. It generated a bit of a stir and we could have filled the letters page for about six months. Jerry Connelly had a nice one of an RAF Jag flying between two lines of parked USAF F-15s in GW1

Mike,
Are you going to do a painting of a low flying Omani Jag?I have a few good ones but they are in store!! We may not all be flying Jags these days but there are still plenty of us around who enjoyed the experience of flying with no min limits. Great fun!! And there were a few of us present at Colt on Friday and Saturday night!!

Wasn't me, sir...I didn,t do it.
You might be right. I was chatting to John Pym, a very fine pilot who I always understood was the guilty b.....d. The subject of his last flight from Thumrait was a frequent topic in the bar at Colt on bad Fridays. It must have been special to generate the level of admiration from those lucky enough to have witnessed it. Nice photo, whoever it was. How long did the photograher spend in hospital?

I know John Pym well when he came to Oz to work for a short time in the CAA before going off to fly for Royal Brunei (B747) and now in Hong Kong with Cathay.
He has told me stories over a few sherbets about his time with the Omanis on Jags.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if it was him.
If you read this John - all thebest from the Canberra gang.

Just in case there is any doubt, it was I who believed/assumed the pilot of THAT Jaguar was John Pym, He is far too modest and polite to have claimed shouting rights over it, or even to have mentioned it in conversation. He did sign a new piccy for me though, while he could still hold a pencil and write. What a nice bloke; last seen following Craig Dalgleish back to their hotel at 0200ish to open the bar...
Newt, I would like to see your photos.
