Talking Maverick goes to MIRAMAR (Top gun style)
Well guys, another low flying mission to the Ring completed.
Just came back from taking HM RAF Boys out for a special weekend, It was fantastic...... (Not the the riding they were real slow) but the crac was brill.. It was my first ever military trip, and had to be kept "TOP SECRET" (security)
and it was real cool being asked by the WING COMMANDER to show him some riding skills, Imagine that, a guy who fly's around in a £28.000.000 Tornado every day asking me! cushty..
anyway the upshot of the week end was on the return ferry, they asked me to leave them for five minutes and then called me back and asked me if I would like to go to their flying school/base for a cpl of days where they are going to put me through my first aid course and then I'm going in a simulator,closet thing to flying one (without the G's) so Yee haa Maverick calls the ball!!!!

Thumbs up Ride 'em cowboy!
I'd better have a chat with my mates at Singer-Link Miles (who build the simulators) to make sure they fit the extra wide cockpit then
Sounds like great fun Mav, d'you want me to see if I can get you a test in an MTLS?
