Hell, don't think I could look at instumentation for that long.

You don't. Set the altitude hold autopilot, adjust the throttles every now
and
again and look out the windows.

Yeah, suppose so. I'm not used to fancy things like autopilots. :-)

Not much to see up there,

Not bad though compared to the view from most office windows.

Oh well, I'll settle for a VIP guided tour of your bird next time your at
Fairford. ;-)

Deal...now all I have to do is get back to a flying unit!

Hope you get back up there soon. I haven't flown for a few years and really
miss it.

You guys are weenies. Try flying formation with other fighters and a tanker
for 8 hours in and out of the weather overwater in a half inch thick anti
exposure suit. Backseaters learned formation and refueling really quick on
those trips. There was a way to disengage heading hold on the AP and kinda fly
formation with the rudders and throttles but it still required the the eyeballs
on the other birds and the stiff neck..
