> I would recommend for any HN user that hasn't done it before, to go and fly a plane. 'When I were a lad' I was in the Air Training Corps had got to fly in quite a variety of military aircraft. I thoroughly enjoyed it and at the time pretty much took it for granted, it's only as I've got older I appreciate the experiences I had. I've since flown in civilian small aircraft and helicopters a few times since and now appreciate how much more 'fun' the military stuff was. Even the Chipmunk, originally a 1940s two seat basic trainer, was so much more exciting to fly than a modern Cessna. Sadly I didn't get a fast jet flight, I was 1st reserve for a Hawk flight and went through all the ejector seat training but sadly the cadet in front of me stayed healthy and spent a couple of hours blasting through the Welsh mountains.
