Ok, quick question for the non-aircrew (or aircrew not in their own type)..
What’s the best / most fun trip you managed to blag? (Scheduled flights not allowed)
For me several come to mind:
But the number 1 for me, was blagging trips with 22Sqn at Valley – and playing “thing on a string” through the mountains in North wales – getting ‘accidentally’ dunked waist deep while walking on water as the crew practices height control etc
p.s - the E3, Nimrods, Shack etc that I managed to blag trips on were all great - just didn't make the shortlist for best one!

For me several come to mind:
- My first trip in a Hawk from Valley (Weather check) – threw up everywhere, but for the 10 minutes I was allowed control of the jet – I absolutely loved it (even if I spent an hour afterwards cleaning the cockpit!).
- The tanker doing the airbridge from Asi – the crew were a great bunch to be with – and the pictures from the back while fuelling the other Herc were great, as was the trip round Asi afterwards – and the time spent flying the thing
- Several trips in the AAC Gazelles’ in Cyprus
