**sigh** I wish Nathan. Alas, I had my one and only fast jet ride some years ago, so this time it was Gerard's turn.
It almost didn't happen - he was suited up, fully briefed and strapped in at 0900 when the jet broke - the only time either of the two jets has broken during their six week long 'world tour' so far! Luckily he got a second chance when he rode in Ricardo's 'primary' jet after the flying was finished for the day.
Said he felt six inches shorter but 10 feet taller afterwards, and had a dopey grin on his mug for the next three days!
