Got a ride in a RAAF one of these, back in 2011 when the floods were on and the town was evacuated...but the rotten officer chap wouldn't let me sit in the seat with the little screen and all the interesting buttons
B****y spoilsport!
Probably thought the people being evacuated had gone through enough... still, would have been a buzz!
