Default He wasn't a happy pilot!

This was taken at RIAT (Royal International Air Tattoo) 2006 (Snowdrop works it every year) - this was on Practice day, he had to achieve 'pass' or else he couldn't fly on the two Show Days

I asked SD if the pilot got out and poo'd his pants, he said the poor lad got out and cried - aww love him

I was at Farnborough that year (is that riat?) and my then 6 year old son decided to wander off from the hospitality bit that we were in. He told the reception people and the gate guards that he wanted to find the harrier pilot (a friend) and they let him go!!!!
I don't think I have ever been so scared!!!!
The pilots are astonishing tho'!!
