Skyrad 0 #3 February 3, 2004 That happened years ago to a Techy in the RAf who was engine testing a Lightning. The bugger took off down the runway pulled back and found himself airborne, he was talked down by the tower but later had a nervous breakdown and had to leave the RAF. I heard he go a decent amount of compensation. WOOHOO! First solo in a lightning When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

And congratulations btw. as far as this shit goes....QuoteThat happened years ago to a Techy in the RAf who was engine testing a Lightning.

First solo in a lightning HOW COOL IS TTHAT???? getting to skip all the training and brow beating and paying attention and hard work to become a pilot.. and you get to take off and fly a freakin jet???? Nervous Breakdown shhhhiiiiiiit. I'd have been making every person I knew and every bar I frequant buying me free drinks forever. Nervous breakdown my ass. that'd be as cool as it gets right there. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

cocheese 0 #9 February 3, 2004 Congrats. You've probably paid your dues. I've always said I would give my left nut to fly in a fighter jet. So you get to fly AND keep your body parts. Way too cool. Burn a hole in the sky for all of us who decided to be skydivers instead of working hard to be a jet pilot or an astronaut. "Everytime you go up in the air , you're unsafe....
