It is quite breathtaking, seeing and hearing the awesome power of the engines. When I saw the RIAT airshow in England... It was unbelievable. The greatest part was seeing how fast the jets could go and then seeing them go as slow as they possibly could. Full burner takeoff is amazing aswell, taxing, applying full throttle and being vertical in the air within 3 seconds. if you ever get the chance Go see an airshow where both the red sparrows and the american team (sorry I forget the name off the top of my head) and just watch the different pilot capabilities and the different routines the two teams go through.
