What did you fly in today?

[Thorbrand]

I haven't flown in one of these beasts, but if you have a spare 11,500 Euros burning a hole in your pocket you can book an acrobatic flight in one of these (Minus the armament!) the price doesn't include travel to Russia or accomodation, that price is for the flight only. If you have even more money burning a hole in your pocket you can book an 'edge of space' flight which costs a good few thousand more. The fact this is even possible gives me goosebumps

After two weeks in Iceland I'm heading home on a Boeing 757-200, you don't see many of these in Europe these days.

I was involved in a few 'C' checks on these at ATC Southend a few years ago

Not an aeroplane this time but it does have a port and starboard.

I once crossed the channel by Hovercraft. It was one of their last services before being scrapped. The funny thing was, it was a flight. We had a flight time and they also handed out those little hot towels like they used to on aircraft. I'm sure there was other 'aircraft' references as well, but it was a long time ago.

It was certainly fast. But good god, the noise. It certainly sounded like an old aeroplane.

If one of those checks was on a Gainjet VIP 757 I was there changing an MLG outer cylinder.

All aboard the mystery jet for a new destination.
