A friend of mine affirms that there are two kinds of people: pilots and parachutists.

 

If you are a pilot, no argument on earth will ever persuade you that jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft is a good idea.

 

I first went up in a tiny little aircraft with nothing but bare floorspace and two seats up front (for pilot and co-pilot) that had almost no materials left on them.

 

The side door was open from take-off to exit.  There were 5 of us including the instructor cramped in and the journey was so bumpy that we'd all bounced 3-4ft further down to the back of the aircraft on our arses by the time we got to the exit height.

 

It was so noisy and so uncomfortable that shuffling over to the exit and hurling yourself out was something you couldn't wait to do. 

 

A cunning ploy.

If you look at the gantry, the signage suggests that the traffic is travelling in the same direction, I guess it's one of the typically large junctions they have.

A bit like the M25 at the T5 turn off, multiple lanes heading the same direction with a central barrier.

That Fezza/GT-R vid could seriously have been me in the GT-R on the way through Belgium last May (replace the Fezza with an E92 M3) - except I didn't crash, thank feck.  I may have sworn.  A lot  :angry:

Proper brown trouser moment by the sounds of it...
