Me neither Boac.... Not allowed to.
When Mrs Ex-Ascot did her solo cross countries for her PPL she was solo.
When I did my solo formation exercises I was not. I kept shouting 'airmiss'
so wasn't allowed up there unattended. Thus my career progression. They gave me purple airspace to keep me quiet.
Going into Belize on one occassion two Harriers asked to formate on us. I approved. Expected them on the wing tips. They came alongside the flight deck. Then they asked to swap over. I cleared it. I thought that they were going to pull away and come in again. One went under the flight deck the other rolled over the top. I knocked my cup of tea off the saucer. You small fast jet guys shouldn't be let loose on us big fast jet guys.
