This issue: KEVIN

Kev Backstreet is spending this day with the United States Air Forceīs Blue Angels. Heīs here to fly F18s, fighter planes which goes faster than the speed of sound!

Before he can take off, Kevin must take a full medical examination to check that heīs 100% fit for the flight, followed by an introduction to all the important elements you need to fly a plane; ejector seat, parachute, and, erm, sick bag... Clever chap that he is, itīs not long before Kevīs get himself comfy in the pilot seat. He slips on his flying goggles, straps himself in, switches on the engine and in a flash heīs gone. Forty-five minutes later, Kev Backstreetīs back safe and soundm proud that he didnīt need the sick bag and bubblin' with excitement.
"Wow! That was fantastic!" he gushes.
Making sure that he collects his logbook, the record of his day out, Kev rushes home in time to tell the other BSBīs all about his second job. And you thought he was just a model popstar.
