Here are the remainders of my pictures from the flight, hope you enjoy! :)

Another view out of the door, note the rotor blade in the top-right hand corner of the shot.

Better weather along our route, somewhere above Dorset I believe...

SOME TIME LATER

Just after getting off, here's the Chinook in my school field.

And away she goes, after an hour of my life I certainly won't forget :D

Was a brilliant day, thanks for looking! :)

Health and Safety, I should imagine...oh well, I'd rather be safe in the Chinook than ramp surf and fall out of the back.... :D

Well, your still hanging on a rope, so nothing's lost if you fall :)

Looks nice!

Did you get a promotion? Last time I looked at your signature I think it was Cadet Corporal...

I would love to fly something like that. 100sqn RAF have the hawks and on rare occasions, cadets from our sqn can fly in them.


Good shots  ;)

Thanks Machineman, yes, I have been promoted to Sgt. :D

A flight in a Hawk! That'd be brilliant fun! :O :D

Congrats  ;)

Ive just completed first class and awaiting the badge. Just need to go shooting to pretty much secure Bronze DofE.

Flight in a hawk- brilliant fun!
Flying a hawk- AWSOME fun
Chasing another cadet in a sort of cat and dog type thing- PWNAGE!

;D
