Air to air refueling
During my last year serving in the RAF based at RAF Leuchars, I had the chance to fly in a VC10 K2 on an air to air refueling sortie supporting Tornado and Phantom aircraft over the Shetland Isles. The F3 Tornado aircraft were conducting missile firing with the F4 Phantom filming the firings.
During my service I have flown in Victor, VC10, Tristar and Hercules tankers. I have also had two trips in the back seat of a Phantom F4 of 228 OCU. The first was whilst on detatchment to RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, the second was a transit trip from RAF Leuchars to RAF Wattisham. We flew south over the North Sea and went supersonic, I threw up at Mach 1.25 :-)
