It's more FUN when Leuchars ATC calls you on the R/T and then 'passes' Four Tornado's BELOW you (flying the north ridge at Lindifferon, Fife) or when the (two) fast jets tking their normal route inland over Seaton Cliffs (nr Arbroath) spot the 'G-REG' PG so circle back over the sea and re-route inland passing 'breaking' left&right about 50ft above/100ft to either side of your glider :-)
For me it will be a bit of a bummer when RAF Leuchars closes in 4yrs, FlyBy's with serious ac can be FUN!
