very nice read, thank you!
I was talking to an old RAF pilot some weeks ago and when I asked him if he had any interesting stories to tell, he shrugged his shoulders and said "just think of the craziest thing you could possibly do in an aeroplane.. no matter how weird, someone somewhere at some point must have done it. It's the nature of flying that pushed us beyond boundaries.. and probably the fact that we were flying high performance planes that we didn't pay for!"
