Anyone been? Which 'experience' did you choose and was it worth it? Fancy treating myself for my 30th next month, think breaking the sound barrier at 50,000ft takes some beating, especially as Concorde is no longer with us.

Cheers,
Liam

I reckon the Buccaneer might be more fun as you get a longer flight and it's mostly (very) low level.

Lightning probably sounds better down the pub though.

biggrin

I do like the sound of the Buccaneer, as it is one of my favourites, but If I only get to do one (I think it is quite pricey) I don't think I can pass up the chance of breaking the sound barrier in a cold war interceptor!

I do enough low flying (about 600kts slower admittedly) in microlights around Northumberland smile
