Eh?  How "low" is the chance of a flight as passenger in *any* single-seat
fighter, Chris?

We had a Tucano around up here a few times in the summer, and a very
occasional Hawk, to leaven the diet of pretty much daily Tornado flights on
the range.

Thanks for the lovely panorama of the fens - looks like you had fun :-)

There's the Tucano (turboprop) and the Hawk used as trainers, Martin.  It is
normally possible to get a trip, but the RAF is in a state of horrible
upheaval at present and it's probably not worth the hassle.  The Typhoon is
a single-seat fighter, but the chances of flying it are low to nil, even as
a passenger.
