I'm not surprised. I only flew twice in a "real" plane as a passenger, loved it. One was a seaplane. If I had the money...

not quite all,some of the support transports are missing,as well as an SNJ trainer used to simulate a Japanese Zero for some of the earlier show seasons.

eugh, yes-- tomcats are heavy jets... btw been meaning to ask you, about your pic i'm drawing of Her Majesty, can you sit on the space between the two exhaust cones on a Tomcat?

TomCatDriver In reply to GretheFenyx [2009-02-20 22:58:07 +0000 UTC]
yes,but i wouldn,t reccommend sitting there...it,s a speedbrake surface that has a lot of hydraulic force behind it.
