All Quiet

I love airports at night.

When I was in the RAF I spent 102 hours in the Jet Provost (like the aircraft at the front of the photo) during my basic training which equated to about 90 sorties. I was airsick on about 80 of those trips which is why Her Majesty's Government decided they wanted me to fly helicopters instead of trusting me with a 20 million pound fighter. Can't say as I blame them I suppose.

Whenever I look at a Jet Provost (and there aren't many around anymore), I still feel sick. Must be Pavlov's dog in an aviation setting.
