No we just alter the flight settings for them so if one does manage to get their hands on the real thing they will plough into the ground well before getting to their target...  eveilgrin:

I had a seat (but not a go, it was switched off) in the Harrier simulator at RAF Wittering many, many years ago....

At the time, the technology consisted of a camera on a gimbal thing that 'flew' over a vast 3D map of some part of Russia with little model houses and oil rigs that you could actually 'land' on... The camera image was projected into the 'cockpit' of the Harrier...

The houses were only half an inch high.... I always though that if a spider was walking across a 'field' while you made a low-level pass you would have absolutely shit yourself!  lol:

Well, whatever, nevermind

Well you already have a bucket to use as a crash helmet and prior experience of falling from a great height..  rubschin:
