Posting this FWIW, as these sorts of things sometimes stir up confected controversy or outrage.

Presumably he will add Maverick to the many names he has traded as in the past!
|
Is it possible for the pilot to eject the rear seater?
|
He might try to flog the aircraft on the internet…under another made up name.

The UK's visiting defence secretary has hitched a ride on a $100 million Royal Australian Air Force fighter jet Unfortunately, he couldn't reach the handle from the outside. |
The ABC can reveal Next Aunty will get their "investigative jurnos" on the case to see if any fringe benefits tax is due and if Shapps reported the free travel as a gift. |

Sadly not. But if the pilot could talk him into pulling the handle between his legs…

Pity...

Hopefully not too far off topic (from 2021) -
"Some 120,000 spectators visited the International Air Show and Military Display in Kecskemet, central Hungary, over the weekend, the defence ministry said on Sunday evening. In addition to presentations by the air forces of Hungary and several foreign countries, the programme included surprise events including a parachute jump performed by the defence minister, the army chief and other army leaders from a helicopter." Perhaps Mr Shapps could have a go! |
Lots of snarky comments but I bet most of you would sell your favourite auntie for a Super Hornet backseat ride. :E

Sounds a bit too much like the Shapps modus operandi!

Wishing harm on a politician because you personally disagree with his policies is disgraceful and not funny. Take your childish remarks to JB.
Behaviour & performance, rather than policies. |
