Exactly. If you want to be cheap and flexible, you go twin turbo-prop. Essentially you need to take civilian equipment and militarise it.

The ‘net out here is a bit sketchy but it was up long enough to have a look at the places you’ve mentioned. I’d never heard of them before and it’s not a cheap place to stay but they look superb.

Hopefully they ended up where they deserve - behind bars due to camera and bystander evidence.

I’m not 100% certain but because it actually exists I’d say no.

I need you to drive my Bristol. Thats ‘hand made’, in a way that makes the Aston look positively manufactured by robots.

We’re country people. Cities are a place to visit for us, take in some live music, have a nice meal, pick up some things we can’t get locally and treat ourselves to a nice hotel, not somewhere to live.

Loved the main photo - this is how a GT car should look. Used, driven, covered in dust and not another layer of Autoglym Supersomething.

Yup, the exchange rate hit me quite a bit as I get paid in dollars, but put a lot of my salary into a UK bank. $1.6 when I started, now it’s $1.2 or thereabouts.

It’s properly hard work for the most part, due to unpleasant shifts, and there are very few lifestyle protections that European and US pilots enjoy. Days off are days off unless the company calls you in - and if they can’t reach you, you’ll be hauled in to explain why. Do it twice and you’re gone. That’s one quick…

Ah. Ten years of flying there and this is the first I knew about it.

I’m sure I played you as a character in GTA V...

Indeed, although I fly in from Asia. Austin and Orlando mostly.

Yeah, ummm. Hmmm. It’s hard to fault the bravery. That’s about all I can say. They’re not cheap so they must have a following but...

Each to their own I guess. I’ve spent a career travelling around the globe, some of it in military uniform, the rest of it in a civilian one.

Unfortunately, it’s my fellow Brits that have ruined our reputation in Orlando. I tend to leave at the first opportunity and head anywhere else with any of the crew who want to come with me.

I’ll be back next week with 360 people who want to spend their money in Florida. As I said to someone else, I wish they’d consider looking outside the theme park resorts but most of them won’t, sadly.

I have many, many more. What I don’t really have are any negative anecdotes other than the time someone barged me in a bar, spilled my drink on a girl next to me and then legged it, leaving me with the blame!

Most of my passengers come for the theme parks and rarely make it out of the resort hotels. This is a shame because there’s so much more to the state than that. Yes, they’re fun, but rent a Mustang and drive to the gulf coast - watch the sunset. You’ll remember that long after the thrill from the coaster has worn off.…

I have a total of none where I work in Asia and one back home in the UK. The UK track opens up to the public every other weekend but they’re very snotty about what they’ll let on it due to noise regulations.

Aw, really?
