Simple: try to hijack it! 8-)

I dunno, but we live under a fighter-pilots' playground; and if in luck get tranporters from the garrison, and helicopters from the other RAF base too. You'd like it a lot :)

(minidj2 had a visit from a helicopter at school a couple of terms ago, and got to sit in it; we've also had the air ambulance land on the field behind our house).

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that too... :o
