Thanks Bill. Looks like we'll have a few flying stories to tell each other when we meet. We have a lot of air bases in our news patch, and I have flown many times on a few types. Remind me to tell you about filming the RAF Falcons parachute display team from the back of a C130, and the time I was filming from the cockpit of a VC-10 tanker in formation with another VC-10 and a Tristar when the sky in front was full of formating Tornado GR7s *coming the other way*......
