It would be a wonderful experience if you can afford it. I seriously considered it for my 65th birthday* next year until I saw the prices. I believe the prices quoted on that page are for the flight only. You would have to budget for the flight to SA & hotel accomodation. While you're there you might as well make a holiday out of it.

*If I can pass the medical, which is by no means certain, I'll settle for an hour in a Harvard at my local airfield. :)

As for the Buccaneer, Lightning and Hunter prices, deal direct, it may be cheaper, why pay a middle man.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
