I have long held a dream, that dream is to fly in a Harrier, a privilege only afforded to a very few highly trained individuals. Those of you familiar with Someone Else's life, Blackrat's unequalled blog, will know that he lives a life from time to time that always reduces me to obscene levels of envy, he has experienced almost all of the things most of us can only dream of, from having cars and motorcycles to die for at his disposal, to flying a Tornado and Hawk, all the ultimate big boys toys he has managed, through tenacity and determination, to find a way to experience.
This time all of those have been surpassed, this time it was my ultimate experience and whilst I will never get to do it myself his writing will put you right there, as close as you're ever going to get without actually doing it, everything from experiencing the famed vectored thrust and a 'touch and go' to taking the controls himself, utterly amazing......you just have to read this!
