Lol my Jag trip he said we will pull a bit of G see how you feel, then a bit more see how you feel etc…. Went straight into a 7G turn, asked how I felt, I said fine erm what happened to the little bit etc, he said that was it lol let’s go play… Anon the HUD is telling you what you are pulling and as said it feels every bit of it… Low level at 50 ft playing Exocet attacks to 22,000 in a vertical rotating climb in front of the frigate is just mind blowing.. Supersonic flight though is just the opposite, disappointing… Bar an indicator telling you you are at Mach 1 plus and a muffled boom, you wouldn’t know.

One trip icing on the cake that didn’t materialise was we were going to formate with the Belgique Fuga Display team on the way to Leuchars airshow in a Fuga, but we were delayed, so I never got the pictures..
