Default F18 ride

This is funny, you gotta watch the scenes. Basically a guy goes up in the back seat of Blue Angels F-18. This is good for you f-18 drivers out there that ever wondered what it would be like to be inside your model. Enjoy. Alex.

Did you notice that the pilot for the orientation ride is the recently passed Lt. Kevin Davis?

I find that when I go to airshows now, I'm somewhat dissapointed at how slow the jets pull through turns. I suppose I'm so used to seeing my jets pull more than 7 g's or so.

I know I'd probably toss my cookies in the back seat of an 18C or any jet for that matter!

There is a bit of irony there somewhere, but at least his memory is kept alive ........
