I remember the first time (and only time) I got to fly a plane, and as I sat myself behind the controls and gripped the stick enthusiastically, the instructor leaned across smiling and said 'oh ho fighter pilot are we?'
If he only knew the hours I had racked up on F16's, Apaches and Tornadoes (on more computers than I care to remember) before I deigned to fly his 'Warrior'.
Loved every minute of it tho. Except my head kept telling me I was just in a car - but considerably higher...
