The original message was supposed to have a link to ‘No Gravity’, a private company providing a ‘vomit comet experience’ It seems to have gone down at the moment (the server that is!)

Question: Do they allow hairy legs in a Lightning or would they be classed as a FOD risk? 🙂

I understand your point. I have seen a display (at Yeovilton museum?) of a Kamikaze flying bomb surrounded by last letters written to the pilots families. i think we were supposed to feel sorry (or even guilty) for their loss. It didn’t work.
I don’t see any difference between the 80,000 killed in the Tokyo fire storm raid, Dresden or the British Blitz and either Atom bomb raids. The net result was that people died in their thousands by fire. It was not America, Britain or any of our allies that started WW2, but we finished it.

And me too.
It rankles that the Shack can fly in the US and South Africia but not in the country that built it. 😡
